Case Study: a Chinese industrial vision manufacturer achieves fast-track safety certification for North America and Europe with HMS Networks

Chinese Industrial Vision Manufacturer adds 3 safety protocols with HMS Networks

A Chinese industrial vision manufacturer needed to expand into North American and European markets, where certified safety communication protocols were required by end customers. Their existing system, which used hard-wired safety I/O, was insufficient. The challenge was to quickly add support for PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, and FSoE protocols without a hardware redesign. They partnered with HMS Networks to address this.

HMS Networks implemented a TÜV pre-certified solution featuring their T100 Safety hardware and the Anybus CompactCom B40. This provided a single platform supporting all three major safety protocols, significantly reducing development risk and integration time. The solution enabled the manufacturer to achieve a flexible network architecture and rapidly enter new markets, greatly improving their product competitiveness.
