Flexible Manufacturing With Time Sensitive NetworkingAn NI Industrial IoT Lab Demonstration

Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of new capabilities being added to the IEEE Ethernet standards. They are key for industrial applications such as process and machine control where low communication latency and minimal jitter are critical to meeting closed loop control requirements. The TSN for Flexible Manufacturing IIC testbed is being built by a number of industrial suppliers who are working on supporting TSN functionality. These vendors are combining early systems to ensure the creation of an interoperable ecosystem that meets the needs of next-generation manufacturing systems.
