Cloud computing is a technology that is rooted in Ethernet and it is almost everywhere. With the cloud, the factory can work more easily and get computer resources when needed and only when needed. The cloud can scale on demand, and more importantly, users only pay for the resources they use. As process applications and devices need to handle a huge amount of data, the industry has already noticed the advantages of shared information access. It is because of the cloud that the level of data management has been further improved, and the performance and profit have also been raised to an unprecedented level.
Did you notice? The concept of cloud is becoming more and more popular. No matter where you go today, the cloud is always ubiquitous. This cloud is not a cloud in the sky, but a cloud hidden in broadcasting, newspapers, news, and manufacturing. This cloud is irrelevant to the weather, but it is closely related to the advanced computer technology that has been integrated into the consumer field. Now this cloud is infiltrating into the manufacturing field.
It is powerful, it is everywhere, cloud computing is a technology rooted in Ethernet, it is almost everywhere. The end user does not necessarily have to own the cloud. Once the factory decides to redesign a product, the engineering department will start building the prototype. It may take several months to complete the procurement, installation and commissioning of the required computer services. But if you join the cloud, these jobs can be completed in just a few minutes, and if done properly, the cost can be reduced.

Cloud is an environment that is well-suited for manufacturing, said Steve Harriman, senior vice president of marketing at Science Logic. “When a plant or a department starts a new project, the focus is on the engineering software design. With their development work, The focus of the work shifts to computer-aided manufacturing, equipment programming, and then to production. The cloud-based IT architecture can provide a lot of convenience for upstream and downstream, making these tasks and goals easy to achieve.â€
What is the cloud?
So what's the use of this interesting title? First, it is not a new technology derived from the current technological variants. The cloud is an innovation in infrastructure and architecture that enables the outside world to dynamically use computer resources.
Rick Kuhlman, National Instruments' senior product manager for FPGA software architecture, said: "The cloud can provide huge computer resources for the plant, and it can be reclaimed after your job is completed. The cloud resource provider allows users to rent processors and RAM. Or storage space, and give full operational authority.Although from the back end looks like a huge computer bank, but the end user in the front end can configure the scope of this processing technology and network technology when necessary, this concept of The principle is to interconnect multiple computers via Ethernet to easily accomplish one task, and this task is difficult or difficult for a single computer."
The most important features of the cloud â– On-demand services, like Ethernet, can be used quickly as long as there is a network connection.
â– is a shared data source that can be used dynamically online or offline.
â– Allow these shared resources to be dynamically configured.
Science Logic’s Harriman said: “After the cloud as a grid, with cloud services, you can 'turn on lights' or 'charge equipment' without having to go to a power plant.†He explained: “There are many types of electricity in the grid. Sources, similarly, cloud computing can also provide a variety of computer resources. In a sense, the cloud is another kind of grid."
Invensys Operations Management's latest attempt at this new technology is a cloud application that can use process/production information on mobile devices. Hosted with a Microsoft data center, SmartGlance's mobile reporting application can send plant data and reports directly to smartphones, enabling engineering workers, maintenance technicians, and other plant personnel to view current job data anytime, anywhere to accelerate decision making and improve collaboration. System data from Invensys Operations Management and a large amount of other plant data can be sent through the cloud to smart phones that are subscribed to the Smart Glance mobile reporting service.

Rob McEvey, vice president of platforms and applications at Invensys Operations Management, agrees: “You can turn on or off cloud services just like a device. It has many benefits. The most obvious benefit is that you don’t have to do hardware, software or even services. The capital investment, because everyone has balanced the firmware cost, and because there is no need to consider the cost link, the number of available applications has also increased."
Not just the hardware driver in the air is true. Cloud is an emerging technology, but it is by no means a concept or a theory. It is a technology based on a large number of stable and practical applications. It can be seen as an "in-the-sky" warehouse or hardware driver, but not just as an online service or remote server. The cloud is a new operating system. Mc Greevy explained: “You are facing a brand new service that is different from the ones you can program before. Microsoft and other companies are re-architecting their operating systems and building them based on the cloud structure in order to be able to take advantage of sharing. Services, storage, and computing power. However, it is not just simple storage, it can bring new functions and software applications."
In LabVIEW 2011, National Instruments deployed its FPGA compilation server on a cloud computer. Users can no longer package compilers, and can use the latest high-RAM and high-end computers to compile FPGA virtual devices (VIs) in parallel. Once the user system adopts the cloud service, the compiling process is completed in the cloud instead of the local computer or the local computer network. Security is similar to other high security network services. Source: National Instruments.
Users who use cloud technology continue to increase. Currently, Kuhlman of NI company has witnessed the vitality of cloud technology in manufacturing and engineering in the following three areas: cloud data, cloud software, and cloud computing.
■Cloud data: Kuhlman said: “The biggest role of the cloud is here. For data management, it is basically to establish an interface with the cloud server that can store data from any location in the world to the cloud server or from the cloud server. Get data. Companies can push device vibration, control, and regulatory data to the cloud, and people in need can use it in a variety of ways from anywhere in the world without having to be close to the device itself."
â– Cloud Software: Clouds can also enable nearly everyone to use software resources that are far away from where they are used. End users can use the program through any Ethernet-enabled device that runs in the cloud. As cloud service providers, such as Microsoft and Salesforce.com, enter the cloud market and run software in the cloud faster, engineering companies such as SolidWorks also place resources in the cloud, simplifying the design process .
■Cloud Computing: The cloud is also equipped with complex calculations, Kuhlman said: “If you have to deal with a complex algorithm, and you have more than one processor available, then it is faster than using a computer to solve equations. Much faster.†For example, NI has a cloud server that can greatly speed up the compilation of FPGA programs. This kind of procedure is very complicated, the compilation time is up to a few hours. "Running this algorithm in a cloud environment is much faster than compiling with a large computer, and it's faster than parallel compiling with multiple machines."
Invensys’ McGreevy added: “We see the cloud as a natural extension of today's applications. In the near term, virtual applications, configuration management, and reporting and information analysis are all advantages of cloud technology. We also have cloud-based applications. The process/production information can be viewed on mobile devices. In the long run, we see that the execution capabilities of some systems are shifting to the cloud environment, which will eventually be realized in the future."
Our GI (Galvanised Steel) is one of the most popular materials in the world,available in a variety of specifications.
Hot dip galvanizing is the process of applying a zinc coating to Cold rolled steel strip by immersing the material in a bath consisting primarily of molten zinc. The simplicity of the galvanizing process is a distinct advantage over other methods of providing corrosion protection.
Galvanizing forms a metallurgical bond between the zinc and the underlying steel , creating a barrier that is part of the metal itself. Galvanized steel is generally used in Roofing, Refrigerator door & body panels and manufacture of various parts Home appliances.
