HMS Networks introduces Anybus Diagnostics line

HMS Networks has announced the expansion of its Anybus brand with the introduction of Anybus Diagnostics, a new business line focused on helping industrial companies avoid unplanned downtime.

The company said a critical factor for ensuring full operation and efficiency of automation systems is the reliability of the industrial networks used in these systems. To address this growing need, HMS Networks said it is therefore expanding the scope and direction of the Anybus brand with the launch of a new business line offering products and services to ensure network uptime and security.

While companies are constantly taking steps to mitigate the costs of unplanned downtime, the most effective solution is to prevent it from happening in the first place. HMS Networks said that Anybus Diagnostics addresses this matter by taking a proactive and cost-effective approach to equipment maintenance. With Anybus Diagnostics, users can constantly monitor their equipment and network communication, enabling them to proactively address potential issues before they result in costly downtime and repairs.

Anybus Diagnostics is designed to offer a range of products and services to help industrial companies avoid costly unplanned downtime through:

• Permanent monitoring of Profibus and industrial ethernet networks.
• Network segmentation products that divide the network into separate segments, isolating any issues and preventing them from impacting the entire system.
• Network insights through AI-powered software that can analyse the network to identify the root cause of any issues.
• Education and training with e-learning and certified training programs.
   

“We are thrilled to add the Anybus Diagnostics business line to our existing portfolio of Anybus products and services,” said Simon Mortazavi, Business Line Director for Anybus Diagnostics at HMS Networks. “Anybus Diagnostics will offer customers a comprehensive range of solutions to help them tackle the significant challenge of unplanned downtime that is known to have a severe impact on manufacturing. With the Diagnostics line introduced, the Anybus brand is now fully equipped to provide end-to-end industrial connectivity solutions. We help our customers to get connected — and stay connected.”
