INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM INTEGRATION
Connecting Machines, Processes & Data Into One Integrated System
Neo Technologies provides industrial automation system integration for connecting plant-floor equipment, control systems, supervisory platforms and manufacturing information systems.
A successful integration project is more than connecting individual automation products. Controllers, field devices, drives, robots, HMI, SCADA, industrial networks and plant software need to exchange the correct information through an engineered architecture.

FAQ
Automation System Integration – Frequently Asked Questions
What is industrial automation system integration?
Industrial automation system integration connects controllers, field devices, machines, drives, robots, operator systems, industrial networks and plant software so that the required information and control functions can operate across one engineered system.
Can different PLC and automation platforms be integrated?
Different automation platforms can often be integrated when compatible communication interfaces or suitable gateways are available. The appropriate method depends on the installed hardware, protocols and project requirements.
Can PLC, DCS and SCADA systems communicate with each other?
Yes, where the selected platforms provide compatible communication interfaces. Integration can use industrial protocols and data interfaces such as PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus and OPC UA where supported.
Can legacy automation systems be modernized?
Existing PLCs, relay systems, HMI, SCADA, drives and communication infrastructure can be evaluated for migration, replacement or integration with newer systems.
Can robots and machine vision be integrated with PLC systems?
Yes. Industrial robots, servo systems and machine-vision equipment can be integrated with PLC-based machine control where suitable interfaces are available.
What is IT/OT integration?
IT/OT integration connects selected operational technology data from industrial automation systems with manufacturing or enterprise information applications through appropriate data interfaces and architecture.
Can plant automation data be connected to MES?
Yes. Selected controller, SCADA, historian and production data can be exchanged with MES or MOM applications where the systems provide suitable interfaces.
