At the exhibition, B&R will be showcasing Orange Box as well as other allied solutions, which make machines and factories smart and achieve operational excellence. Orange Box enables factories and plants to fully transform into smart manufacturing set-ups and connect obsolete and digitally isolated machines.

Orange Box: Manufacturing intelligence for brownfield
The Orange Box is entirely flexible and modular. To collect and analyse basic operating data, all you need is a 25-mmwide compact PLC and the software component mapp OEE. For more advanced features – such as alarm management or energy monitoring – the solution can easily be scaled up with more powerful PLCs and additional software components. To give the Orange Box a modern user interface in addition to PLC functionality, a Power Panel or a Panel PC can be used.
