北京2016年10月27日電 /美通社/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADI) 今日宣布收購Innovasic Inc. -- 確定性以太網(wǎng)半導(dǎo)體和軟件解決方案的領(lǐng)先供應(yīng)商。此次收購?fù)瓿珊?，ADI公司可掌握一整套多協(xié)議工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)解決方案，并為適用于工業(yè)自動化和工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)(IoT)的ADI智能自動化解決方案產(chǎn)品組合增添關(guān)鍵的配套技術(shù)。
目前，工業(yè)自動化市場正逐步從串行現(xiàn)場總線向以太網(wǎng)連接轉(zhuǎn)變，同時，工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)日趨普及，敏感的工業(yè)自動化應(yīng)用亟需高度可靠的實時以太網(wǎng)連接。ADI公司收購Innovasic后，可立即為客戶提供一整套面向工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)應(yīng)用的創(chuàng)新解決方案，同時打造業(yè)內(nèi)較佳技術(shù)路線圖，以滿足工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)等未來連接需求。這些解決方案將進一步完善ADI公司現(xiàn)有的高性能工業(yè)自動化解決方案，包括軟件可配置IO、現(xiàn)場儀器儀表、高效伺服驅(qū)動系統(tǒng)等。
ADI公司自動化業(yè)務(wù)部門總經(jīng)理Kevin Carlin表示：“我們的自動化客戶需要高度可靠的同步網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)，以支持如汽車制造等需要多組機器人在惡劣嘈雜的條件下井然有序地協(xié)同作業(yè)的應(yīng)用環(huán)境。這些客戶還力爭在即將實現(xiàn)的工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)中更廣泛地應(yīng)用以太網(wǎng)，以提高作業(yè)效率，降低成本。IEEE（電氣電子工程師協(xié)會）業(yè)已明確，為使以太網(wǎng)滿足新興應(yīng)用的確定性需求，需要實行新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，為此，IEEE正在制定全新的時間敏感型網(wǎng)絡(luò)(TSN)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。Innovasic公司的技術(shù)不僅能解決當(dāng)前的工業(yè)以太網(wǎng)問題，還能滿足全新IEEE TSN標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的部分前期要求。此次收購Innovasic公司后，ADI可幫助客戶打造一條由傳感器邁向未來工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接的發(fā)展之路。”
Innovasic團隊將加入ADI公司的工業(yè)自動化業(yè)務(wù)部門，作為核心技術(shù)組，負責(zé)開發(fā)公司的確定性以太網(wǎng)技術(shù)解決方案，并繼續(xù)為工業(yè)客戶提供生命周期較長的半導(dǎo)體產(chǎn)品組合。Innovasic團隊將由其聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼首席運營官Jordon Woods領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，工作地點仍位于美國新墨西哥州阿爾伯克基市。
Woods表示：“我們很高興能夠加入ADI公司，成為‘智能自動化’解決方案的一分子。Innovasic和ADI都致力于幫助客戶解決最具挑戰(zhàn)性的技術(shù)難題，提供生命周期非常長的產(chǎn)品，以便滿足工業(yè)市場的獨特需求?，F(xiàn)在，我們通過強強聯(lián)合，可更加有效、更加高效地解決客戶的通信需求，幫助他們應(yīng)對全球最嚴(yán)苛的工業(yè)自動化環(huán)境。”
