Softing Joins Open Integration Network

The digitization of industrial production is becoming increasingly important. That is why the provider of measurement and automation technology for process and laboratory Endress + Hauser has launched the partner program "Open Integration" in order to ensure the smooth interaction of their own products with the 13 manufacturers. Networking specialist Softing Industrial Automation has also been part of this initiative since the beginning of the year.

Process automation applications are being tested

The cooperation partners test and document the interaction of their products for typical applications in process automation. In this way, users can combine the best products and put them into operation quickly and smoothly. The program should also provide advantages for suppliers of automation technology. Because it is important for them to identify potential problems in good time and to solve them before installing them in their customers' systems.
