Delta Showcases SCADA-based Energy Management System VTScada and IIoT Solution for Industry 4.0 at Advanced Factories 2024

Delta, a global leader in power management and a provider of IoT-based smart green solutions, announced today its participation in the upcoming Advanced Factories 2024 with a showcase under the theme "Connecting Devices, Shaping Solutions." The exhibit will include the VTScada energy management solution and the IIoT Solution for Industry 4.0. VTScada is a cutting-edge SCADA software that has been supporting the world’s largest mission-critical applications for over three decades. For instance, almost 40% of offshore vessels operating in the Gulf of Mexico are supported by VTScada.

Jose Salgado, Country Manager for Iberia at Delta's Industrial Automation Business Group, said, "In the Iberia market, we are observing a few critical trends, including the digitization and the adoption of smart manufacturing technologies, as well as the adoption of energy management systems for higher production efficiency. Delta’s solutions are designed to address these key market trends of enhanced connectivity and intelligent automation. By integrating our advanced IIoT solutions and automation technologies, we empower businesses to streamline their operations and achieve unprecedented levels of performance."

Delta's exhibition at Advanced Factories 2024 will feature an impressive lineup of advanced automation solutions, including:
 

• Energy Management Solutions – VTScada: Delta's VTScada offers a comprehensive energy management system that enables users to monitor and control energy consumption across multiple systems, including HVAC, EV charging, energy storage, and solar energy infrastructure. By integrating data through an Ethernet Switch to the VTScada primary server, this solution offers unparalleled visibility and control. Visitors can witness the success of VTScada through real-time remote monitoring of Delta Americas Headquarters and Raleigh Office, showcasing system-wide redundancy, built-in data historian, and remote access capabilities.

• IIoT Solution for Industry 4.0: Expanding its presence in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0, Delta introduces three significant enhancements to its IIoT solutions. The DOP HMI acts as a gateway to DIACloud, facilitating OT data sharing and remote maintenance without the need for VPN routers. DIAWeb Designer simplifies data visualization and decision-making with its user-friendly dashboard editor, while AS-FFTP01 Function Card offers cost-effective IIoT access for AS PLC users with support for OPC UA server, MQTT client connectivity, and Node-RED web-based dashboard. These innovations demonstrate Delta's commitment to bridging the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) layers, enhancing connectivity and intelligence in industrial environments.

• Pick-and-Place Articulated Robot: Showcasing Delta's expertise in robotics, this solution demonstrates the efficiency and adaptability of Delta's robotic arms for automating "pick & place" tasks. The demonstration features the AX-8 as the core motion controller, illustrating how it controls kinematic transformations for articulated robotic arms and manages various production line devices. With support for multiple communication protocols and cloud connectivity, this solution emphasizes the cost-saving and integration benefits of combining PLC, motion control, robotics, and HMI functions into one compact, efficient package.

• AX-5 PLC-Based Motion Controllers: The Delta AX-5 Series represents the cutting edge in motion control, featuring the latest multi-core processor for rapid response and high-performance automation. With its ultra-slim design and support for a wide range of communication protocols, including EtherCAT, CANopen, Profinet, and MQTT, the AX-5 Series offers unmatched flexibility and space savings in automation cabinets. Visitors will learn how the AX-5 Series enhances industrial automation with its powerful features and seamless integration capabilities, making it an ideal choice for a broad spectrum of applications.

• VP3000 Drive for Fan, Pump, HVAC, Chiller, and Compressor: Highlighting Delta's innovation in drive technology, the VP3000 frequency drive showcases advancements in component lifetime and predictive maintenance. Its low harmonic and built-in EMC filter make it ideal for commercial HVAC and industrial applications. The drive's focus on energy efficiency, with support for high-efficiency IM, PM, IE4/IE5 PMa SynRM motor and advanced communication options, represents Delta's commitment to sustainable and intelligent industrial solutions.
