Orrin P
ORiN (Open Robot/Resource interface for the Network) is a standard network interface for FA (factory automation) systems. The Japan Robot Association proposed ORiN in 2002, and the ORiN Forum develops and maintains the ORiN standard. Background The installation of PC (Personal Computer) applications in the factory has increased dramatically recently. Various types of application software systems, such as production management systems, process management systems, operation monitoring systems and failure analysis systems, have become vital to factory operation.

Once this type of application is installed in a factory and if there are no resident software engineers for the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
