大力擴(kuò)充公司確定性以太網(wǎng)技術(shù)和專業(yè)知識(shí)，為高度同步的工業(yè)自動(dòng)化網(wǎng)絡(luò)及工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)提供強(qiáng)大的實(shí)時(shí)連接

 Analog Devices, Inc.(NASDAQ:ADI)今日宣布收購(gòu)Innovasic Inc.——確定性以太網(wǎng)半導(dǎo)體和軟件解決方案的領(lǐng)先供應(yīng)商。此次收購(gòu)?fù)瓿珊螅珹DI公司可掌握一整套多協(xié)議工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)解決方案，并為適用于工業(yè)自動(dòng)化和工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)(IoT)的ADI智能自動(dòng)化解決方案產(chǎn)品組合增添關(guān)鍵的配套技術(shù)。

目前，工業(yè)自動(dòng)化市場(chǎng)正逐步從串行現(xiàn)場(chǎng)總線向以太網(wǎng)連接轉(zhuǎn)變，同時(shí)，工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)日趨普及，敏感的工業(yè)自動(dòng)化應(yīng)用亟需高度可靠的實(shí)時(shí)以太網(wǎng)連接。ADI公司收購(gòu)Innovasic后，可立即為客戶提供一整套面向工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)應(yīng)用的創(chuàng)新解決方案，同時(shí)打造業(yè)內(nèi)較佳技術(shù)路線圖，以滿足工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)等未來(lái)連接需求。這些解決方案將進(jìn)一步完善ADI公司現(xiàn)有的高性能工業(yè)自動(dòng)化解決方案，包括軟件可配置IO、現(xiàn)場(chǎng)儀器儀表、高效伺服驅(qū)動(dòng)系統(tǒng)等。

ADI公司自動(dòng)化業(yè)務(wù)部門總經(jīng)理Kevin Carlin表示：“我們的自動(dòng)化客戶需要高度可靠的同步網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)，以支持如汽車制造等需要多組機(jī)器人在惡劣嘈雜的條件下井然有序地協(xié)同作業(yè)的應(yīng)用環(huán)境。這些客戶還力爭(zhēng)在即將實(shí)現(xiàn)的工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)中更廣泛地應(yīng)用以太網(wǎng)，以提高作業(yè)效率，降低成本。IEEE (電氣電子工程師協(xié)會(huì))業(yè)已明確，為使以太網(wǎng)滿足新興應(yīng)用的確定性需求，需要實(shí)行新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，為此，IEEE正在制定全新的時(shí)間敏感型網(wǎng)絡(luò)(TSN)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。Innovasic公司的技術(shù)不僅能解決當(dāng)前的工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)問(wèn)題，還能滿足全新IEEE TSN標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的部分前期要求。此次收購(gòu)Innovasic公司后，ADI可幫助客戶打造一條由傳感器邁向未來(lái)工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接的發(fā)展之路。”

Innovasic團(tuán)隊(duì)將加入ADI公司的工業(yè)自動(dòng)化業(yè)務(wù)部門，作為核心技術(shù)組，負(fù)責(zé)開(kāi)發(fā)公司的確定性以太網(wǎng)技術(shù)解決方案，并繼續(xù)為工業(yè)客戶提供生命周期較長(zhǎng)的半導(dǎo)體產(chǎn)品組合。Innovasic團(tuán)隊(duì)將由其聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官Jordon Woods領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，工作地點(diǎn)仍位于美國(guó)新墨西哥州阿爾伯克基市。

Woods表示：“我們很高興能夠加入ADI公司，成為‘智能自動(dòng)化’解決方案的一分子。Innovasic和ADI都致力于幫助客戶解決較具挑戰(zhàn)性的技術(shù)難題，提供生命周期非常長(zhǎng)的產(chǎn)品，以便滿足工業(yè)市場(chǎng)的獨(dú)特需求。現(xiàn)在，我們通過(guò)強(qiáng)強(qiáng)聯(lián)合，可更加有效、更加高效地解決客戶的通信需求，幫助他們應(yīng)對(duì)全球較嚴(yán)苛的工業(yè)自動(dòng)化環(huán)境。”
