Developing production machines and products for the Asian market

摘要

Success in overseas markets often requires vendors to adapt their products or services to suit their target markets. This is particularly evident in automation, where each continent tends to favour specific communications solutions. Here we look at how several European machine builders and device makers have addressed the needs of potential customers in Asia using the CC-Link network. CC-Link and its Industrial Ethernet equivalent, CC-Link IE were originally developed in Japan and today are used throughout all of Asia, a fact acted upon by many European companies trying to do business in the region.
