Case Study: Animatics achieves faster time-to-market and Ethernet connectivity with Lantronix XPort

Animatics cuts Ethernet integration from months to weeks with Lantronix XPort

Animatics, a manufacturer of integrated servo motors known as SmartMotors, faced the challenge of finding a fast and cost-effective method to connect their industrial equipment to Ethernet networks. Existing solutions were too bulky, expensive, or complicated for their compact products. To overcome the limitations of their previous RS-232 communications, they turned to vendor Lantronix for a solution, ultimately using the Lantronix XPort embedded device server.

The Lantronix XPort provided a compact, easy-to-integrate module that connected the SmartMotors to Ethernet with minimal development time. This solution from Lantronix resulted in increased bandwidth, higher-node connectivity, and reduced cabling costs. The accelerated time-to-market and the ability to make motors IP-addressable led directly to increased sales for Animatics.
