Solutions for Industrial Applications

Industrial Automation

Manufacturing efficiencies are growing exponentially due to network infrastructures built to integrate all systems of the business. This combination of real-time data from the factory floor with a secure network of systems translates data into action points that can help reduce waste and improve flexibility, productivity and quality overall. A wide variety of Samtec interconnect solutions are available to support all automation related needs.

Autonomous Robotics

Autonomous robots are helping streamline supply chain operations with increased speed and improved accuracy. Coupled with AI, autonomous robotics have a higher level of autonomy for data collection and decision making that can help reduce costs and boost productivity overall. Samtec offers micro rugged and high-density interconnects to support robotics advancements.

Embedded Vision

Embedded vision is revolutionizing the industrial market, from robotics to logistics, with unlimited capabilities for more accurate and reliable systems. Designed for application specific tasks, embedded vision systems capture, analyze and measure real-time data, as well as provide accurate diagnoses to inform assessments and decision making for quality and consistency assurance.

Samtec product innovations and technical support enable all aspects of a vision system: lighting/illumination, image sensor, camera module, processing unit, system I/O and final image output.

Industrial Internet Of Things

IIoT is transforming the production and delivery of goods and services by pushing forward greater efficiencies with unprecedented operational and financial benefits. With smart machines collecting data to drive AI and predictive analytics, industrial processes are more agile and streamlined. In turn, IIoT reduces downtime, enhances quality control and supports asset tracking among many other solutions for better business intelligence.

Samtec offers micro high-speed and rugged solutions to connect and sustain critical systems where downtime could create high-risk situations.

Smart Cities, Grids & Factories

Multidirectional data networks used in smart cities, smart grids and smart factories are quickly replacing the traditional linear approach in order to provide greater value and efficiencies to businesses and communities alike. Wireless connectivity between all system assets provides smart grids with real-time control from power generation to end use, and positions smart factories more competitively in the market with increased agility and reliability.

The integration of infrastructure and technology in smart cities allows people to interact with the surrounding environment in a way that brings maximum benefit and efficiency to everyday life. From traffic and public transit to security and utilities, the opportunities are there to connect with every layer of a city.

Samtec offers high-speed performance solutions with flexibility and reliability to support the connection needed for these data networks collecting and processing data in real time.

Testing and Support

Samtec’s products are tested to or beyond industry standards to ensure quality and performance in industrial applications.
