CC-Link IE TSN: One Network. One Solution.

To remain competitive in demanding and fast-paced marketplaces, the adoption of Industry
4.0-oriented applications is becoming a must for companies across industry. In order to harness
the ever-increasing volume of information generated by data-driven, smart manufacturing
strategies, it is fundamental for businesses to implement robust and future-oriented networks. By
doing this, companies are able to fully reap the benefits of digitalisation.

The technology designed to support these needs is TSN, as this enables converged network
architectures that combine all OT traffic together into a single stream. This, in turn, can be
managed more effectively and shared more easily with the IT level in order to derive actionable
insights for optimising processes. Moreover, by implementing TSN on gigabit bandwidth, future
capacity for sharing ever increasing amounts of data across the enterprise is assured.

A key solution available now that offers TSN functions and gigabit bandwidth is CC-Link IE TSN,
the first open industrial Ethernet to combine these features. It is also backed by leading industrial
automation vendors worldwide. Therefore, companies in a wide range of different key industries
can already benefit from a wide range of proven, interoperable devices and components to create
the systems needed by their facilities to address their digitalisation journeys.
