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

Moving in the Right Direction Connecting SmartMotors to Ethernet Networks

Animatics Corporation, a supplier of integrated servo motors, faced the challenge of finding a seamless, budget-friendly, and compact method to connect their SmartMotors to Ethernet networks, moving beyond the limitations of RS-232. They turned to vendor Lantronix and its XPort solution to meet this need.

Lantronix provided its XPort, a compact serial-to-Ethernet embedded device server, which was easy to integrate and accelerated time-to-market. The solution resulted in increased bandwidth, higher-node connectivity, and reduced cabling costs for Animatics. This led to increased sales and allowed the company to maintain its market leadership without diverting resources to solve connectivity issues internally.
