From automation and electromobility to communications and AI, many high-growth technologies owe their performance to high-tech chips from the semiconductor industry. Future demand will significantly exceed manufacturers’ production capacities. To close the gap, existing semiconductor plants must undergo further automation and new, highly efficient fabs must be built worldwide. A key technology in this area is EtherCAT, the Industrial Ethernet technology from Beckhoff Automation. Read more and watch the video
