Rittal manufactures industrial and IT enclosures, racks and accessories, including high efficiency, high density climate control and power management systems for industrial, data center, outdoor and hybrid applications.

Smart Connected Operations is a future looking vision that describes what the factory or production line of the future will look like. It will involve Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enabled MOM applications integrated with IIoT enabled assets and IIoT enabled business systems. It is an elemental part of creating the Smart Connected Enterprise and is often where companies have breaks in the strands of the digital thread. In moving towards this vision, both solution providers and manufacturing organizations are going to have to up the game when it comes to investing in IIoT. These investments will include the creation of new organizations that bring together IT, OT, and business leaders, new technologies that enable connectivity, cloud, big data analytics, and the development of new applications, along with the foresight to see that small pilot projects today could transform entire industries tomorrow.

In the Air Curtiss-Wright technology supports a myriad of today’s most demanding airborne platforms and applications. We provide the Actuators, sensors, pilot controls, data concentrators and recorders found aboard the most important fixed-wing, rotorcraft and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. In the rapidly growing field of defense electronics, Curtiss-Wright is the industry leader in the embedded computing market. Our rugged modules and systems are designed to deliver optimal performance in applications constrained by size, weight, power and cost considerations. Whether enduring the intense heat of a desert tarmac or the sub-zero temperatures encountered during high-altitude flight, our products deliver optimal performance under harsh conditions. On the Ground Defense Solutions has established itself as an important resource for providing the critical capabilities required by modern ground defense platforms. From in-vehicle networking, mission computing and fire control processors, to complete turret drive stabilization and ammunition handling systems, Curtiss-Wright provides the highly rugged and reliable critical systems and components needed to ensure the technical edge in today’s battlefield. At Sea As much at home at sea as in the air or on land, Defense Solutions supports a wide array of ship building programs with the pumping, power and propulsion technologies operating at the heart of the most advanced submarines and aircraft carriers. Our naval technology also provides instrumentation and control systems and auxiliary systems as well as sophisticated shipborne aircraft and helicopter landing systems. Curtiss-Wright is proud to have significant content on every U.S. Navy submarine and aircraft carrier. A Global Partner With design and manufacturing facilities located across North America and Europe, and with sales and support teams located around the globe, Defense Solutions is uniquely positioned to satisfy the most demanding electronics, packaging and systems challenges.

Information Systems and Technology develops, improves and secures the systems of sophisticated defense, aerospace and communications products. They have an established global presence in large-scale IT networks and systems, secure communications systems, command and control systems, imagery sensors and cyber products.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an expansion of internet use that enables people, machines and elements including workpieces and objects to make use of new technological possibilities. All participants, computers and machines require distinct identification and communicate on the same basis. This makes the exchange of information (identification, addressing, data formats, transfer) standardised and uniform. Established technologies (hardware, software) from the IT domain can thus be used in new domains such as production processes and logistics chains. Rittal is helping many companies participate in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connectivity to reach Industry 4.0 integration, by adopting the modular structures necessary to help smart factories stay functional.In the Industry 4.0 era, data-controlled equipment and automated systems not only give managers visibility of what’s happening in their enterprises down to individual work cells, but also the power to effect change and avert disasters when necessary. Companies without an Industry 4.0 philosophy are more likely to be forced to deal with the after-effects of outages and miscommunications caused by data disconnects.
