The rapid development of industrial automation and digitized manufacturing has led to an increase in the demand for real-time data communication and network synchronization among different industrial devices and systems. In order to meet this need, TSN technology has emerged as a promising solution to enable real-time communication, enhanced reliability, and interoperability for industrial networks.
The collaboration between Tongkong and Xilinx aims to further advance the development of TSN technology and its application in industrial automation. Xilinx, a leading provider of adaptive and programmable semiconductor technology, offers advanced solutions for TSN, including its Advanced TSN Switch IP, which features hardware-based traffic scheduling, priority controls, and Time-Aware Shaper (TAS) functions.
Through its partnership with Xilinx, Tongkong aims to leverage the advanced TSN solutions to provide industrial customers with reliable and flexible network solutions that can meet varying needs and scenarios. The collaboration with Xilinx will also enable Tongkong to improve its offering of holistic industrial automation solutions, which covers a wide range of industries, including water treatment, tobacco, transportation, electric power, and metallurgy.
The integration of TSN technology into Tongkong's industrial automation solutions holds great significance in terms of improving network performance, enabling cost optimization, and improving overall productivity. By enabling real-time communication and synchronization between different industrial devices and systems, TSN technology can help reduce delays and interruptions in production processes, improving the overall efficiency and reliability of industrial operations.
Furthermore, TSN technology can also help reduce the need for complex and costly cabling infrastructure, enabling more flexible and cost-effective industrial network solutions. This can be particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which may face limitations in terms of network infrastructure and resources.
The collaboration between Tongkong and Xilinx represents a key step in advancing TSN technology, enabling more reliable and flexible industrial networks that can support the growing demands of the industry. Through its commitment to providing industry-specific solutions and services for industrial automation and factory electrification, Tongkong aims to empower industrial businesses with the latest technology to improve their operations, efficiency, and competitiveness.
