Antaira Technologies, LLC announced membership in the Open DeviceNet Vendor Association (ODVA), a worldwide industrial automation consortium that develops and supports technologies based on the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP), including network adaptations like DeviceNet and EtherNet/IP. Joining ODVA demonstrates Antaira’s commitment to advancing ODVA technologies in the industrial automation sector.
“As ODVA’s newest member, Antaira looks forward to collaborating with 400 of the world’s leading automation companies in driving the adoption of CIP, in particular Ethernet/IP, within industrial network infrastructures,” said Joe Cook, General Manager, Antaira Technologies, LLC. “Supporting OVDA will help ensure the plug-and-play interoperability of Antaira products within the community of ODVA technologies, reducing network complexity, installation costs and downtime.”
Antaira provides industrial network solutions for applications as diverse as manufacturing automation, surveillance, oil & gas, utilities, and intelligent transportation systems. By leveraging the latest technologies, Antaira helps its customers optimize workflows and thrive in today’s competitive markets. Antaira ODVA-compliant switches, wireless devices and specialty networking equipment will further streamline automation networks with vendor-neutral interoperability, therefore eliminating the need for proprietary lock-in or custom programming.
ODVA‘s implementation specifications are developed and updated by several technical working groups. Antaira intends to participate in the working groups as a member and, where appropriate, provide its technical know-how, resources, and market insights to guarantee that CIP continues to be a dynamic, interoperable, and future-proof prototype.
