Case Study: ads-Tec achieves flexible industrial protocol integration in IPCs with Hilscher netJACK

ads-Tec reduces IPC protocol complexity with Hilscher’s netJACK module

ads-tec Industrial IT, a manufacturer of Industrial PCs, faced the challenge of needing to connect their devices to various industrial communication networks. This required costly and time-consuming individual development efforts to integrate different fixed PC cards from other manufacturers. To provide their customers with more flexibility, ads-tec partnered with Hilscher.

Hilscher's netJACK interchangeable module provided a universal solution, allowing ads-tec to equip their IPCs with master or slave functionalities for any common industrial protocol without additional development. This eliminated the need for ads-tec to develop their own firmware, saving costs and reducing device variety. The solution from Hilscher provided end users with the flexibility to change protocols even after installation, and the technology is now an integral part of ads-tec's new product lines.
