One of the most obvious examples is the advances in processing power of PLCs as the requirement for faster cycle times has become a common denominator of competitive companies. Many process operators and manufacturing companies now integrate their PLCs through OPC UA to ERP, PAT and manufacturing execution systems (MES).

and Smart Manufacturing requirements. Manufacturing an automotive gear stick cover, the cell features a synchronised conveyor belt. As well as ensuring components are perfectly positioned to receive the second shot, this higher precision results in a far shorter cycle times compared to earlier multi-component moulding concept.

There’s no need for clock synchronous application operation, because it’s a very simple application.The cycle times, ver roughly, are tens of millisecond. This also is not synchronized via a clock because it’s single axis and maybe not required, but the cycle times are a little more stringent.
