Pharmaceutical Product Line
Production process remote Time Synchorization
A pharmaceutical production line is the process of transforming raw materials into finished products. It is one of the critical manufacturing process, due to it must meet strict quality standards to ensure safety, environmental, and hygiene aspects are respected.
The production may involve variety control protocols systems or devices for manufacturing process, and the precise of any product process status data is required to have the same data timestamp synchronized with local or remote time servers, in order to discover any production error which any impact affect the quality of products.
The network communication products will play an important key factor to ensure not only about no network downtown, featuring the hardware-based Precision Time Protocol (PTP) followed by IEEE1588v2 standard and having function setting for both boundary and transparent clock to synchronize data packet timestamp with local or remote time servers to ensure data accuracy and no production error affect product quality.
Solutions
-
Device networking – having serial device servers and mixed fieldbus protocol Ethernet gateways (i.e. EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus) to interconnect various mixed protocol control equipment with different communication interfaces
-
Network connectivity – utilize reliable Industrial Ethernet Switches features layer 2/3 function, Network Redundancy <50ms (Gigabit backbone network) to obtain systems uptime, IEEE1588v2 PTP to ensure data accuracy, and highly security profile function to prevent any unauthorized access.

Medical Diagnostic Machine
Medical diagnostic equipment, or machines, are tools used by medical professionals to detect, diagnose, or monitor medical conditions; such as Blood pressure monitor.
All these diagnostic equipment embedded with variety devices run the traditional serial protocol to ensure stable data and accuracy, and due to lack of communication interfaces from the original board, and requires extra external communication devices to extend the communication ports, such as USB-to-Serial, or Serial-to-Ethernet to a local PC or local network for data transmission. Plus, all these external communication devices are required to be industrial-grade with data secure encrypted function to enhance the security protection.
On the other hand, for X-ray, MRI, and CT Scanner, they are mostly embedded with all Ethernet-based devices; such as X-ray generator, X-ray collimator, Detector array, automatic exposure control system, Dose Area Product system, Electromagnetic/RF coils, R.F transmitter and receiver, Computer Workstation. An high density ports connection industrial Gigabit Ethernet Switch would assist to extend all Ethernet connectivity within these equipment,
