The goal of the Open Integration partner program is to ensure the streamlined integration of intelligent field instruments into different automation systems.

Softing Industrial Automation is the latest organization to join Endress+Hauser’s Open Integration network. This partnership program unites international manufacturers that want to ensure the streamlined interaction of the intelligent field instruments they produce. This network is gaining importance through Industry 4.0 solutions as it makes products’ integration into automation systems smoother.

As industrial production digitization progresses in the 21st Century, the Open Integration program grows more relevant and increases in scope.

Two ways that users profit

Open Integration network partners test and document the interaction of their field instruments for standard process-automation tasks. Users profit in two ways: the ability to combine high-end products for each application, and quick commissioning. Automation suppliers value the ability to detect potential issues early and solve them before installing products at customer worksites.

To date, 13 organizations belong to the Open Integration program, all of which supply control technology, fieldbus infrastructures, measurement technology, or actuator technology. High-profile examples include The Festo Group, Honeywell Process Solutions, Pepperl+Fuchs, and Rockwell Automation.

Endress+Hauser goes well beyond established test methods within this network, by scrutinizing the functionality of complete system architectures in a laboratory environment. This is done for specific application fields or customer solutions. After successful testing, the company publishes reference topologies in the form of mutual recommendations.

The newest member of this partnership, Softing is a leading provider of software and hardware for integrating technologies and data in factory and process automation. Endress+Hauser and Softing have collaborated for many years. Both companies make reliability and outstanding quality top priorities in their work and are a perfect match in helping their partners innovate sensor connectivity.

To strengthen the Open Integration network, Softing offers further expertise in data exchange and offering information at the field level. Both Softing and Endress+Hauser aim to exploit the potential of the increasingly important role of connectivity in the Industrial Internet of Things and of networking process-control technology.

As digital industrial technology moves forward and gets more complex, Endress+Hauser will continue to stay on track – and keep all of its corporate partners in the loop as well.
