AS-Interface Market Poised for an Explosive Growth in the Near Future

AS-Interface stands for actuator sensor interface. An AS-Interface is a networking solution which is used in PLC, DCS, and PC-based automation systems.It is a master slave system where a single AS-Interface where a single AS-Interface master is used to exchange I/O data with up to 62 to AS-Interface slave devices.The main purpose of AS-Interface is to connect I/O devices such as actuators, sensors, rotary encoders, push buttons, and analog inputs and outputs using a single 2-conductor cable.

An AS-Interface serves as an alternative to hard wiring of field devices. It used as a partner network for networks such as Profibus, DeviceNet, and industrial Ethernet. AS-Interface is used to link connection to a higher level controller system with other devices, which enables a smooth flow of data given to the slaves. It enables effective monitoring, controlling, and execution of the manufacturing process. Applications of AS-Interface is extended to automation applications, conveyor control, process control valves, bottling plants, electrical distribution systems, elevators, packaging machines, airport baggage carousels, and bottling lines.


Demand for AS-Interface technology is high since it addresses the lowest level of a control system architecture.The recent trend in the semiconductor and electronic devices market is to replace simple sensors and actuators with AS-Interface sensors and actuators. AS-Interface replaces the wires that link a controller with sensors and actuators. It serves as a single cabling system which is fast, easy to wire, and easy to operate. Using AS-Interface is cost effective as it replaces the vast number of wires in networks of industrial and automation sites.

The use of AS-Interface offers cost saving of around 15% to 20% over the other bus systems which use traditional cabling methods. AS-Interface devices offer enhanced operation and reduced life cycle costs. Demand for AS-Interface devices is high since it helps to improve the product quality by offering better performance and less downtime.


Demand for AS-Interface is also influenced by the rising demand in its end-use applications. Its application and demand in process automation industry is expected to soar in future. Growing demand in industrial automation is another major driver promoting the growth of the AS-Interface market. Fourth Industry Revolution (FIR) is also a major growth driver for the AS-Interface market. FIR has led to the fusion of physical and cyber systems.

The integration of physical and cyber systems in industrial manufacturing industries enables increased profitability, higher efficiency, predictive maintenance of machines, and greater safety. Demand for safety in industrial manufacturing and automation industries drives the need to introduce safety instrument systems. Hence, demand for AS-Interface systems is expected to be high compared to the conventional wired equipment and systems.

The AS-Interface market is segmented on the basis of component, application, industry, and region. The component segment is further segmented as AS-Interface cable, AS-Interface slave, AS-Interface gateway, and AS-Interface power supply. On the basis of application, the AS-Interface market is segmented as building automation, material handling, drive control and others.


The AS-Interface market by industry is segmented as pharmaceutical, automotive, metal and mining, food and beverages, chemicals, oil & gas, and water and waste water treatment plants. On the basis of geography, the market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South America. The report also provides country level analysis for each of the segments. The U.S., Canada, Germany, Italy, France, U.K., China, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia, Africa, Brazil, and Argentina are the countries included in the market study of AS-Interface.


Some of the key players in the AS-Interface market include Bihl+Wiedemann GmbH, Baumer Electric AG, Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH, Siemens AG, Valmet Corporation, ABB Ltd, Emerson Electric Co., IFM Electronic GmbH, Schneider Electric SE, and Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. Ltd.

Mobile Printing Market: Comprehensive Evaluation Of The Market Via In-Depth Qualitative Insights

Mobile printing let end-users print documents when they are in traditional network of away from it The mobile printing enables end-users to print from their devices to any mobile printing application enabled printer located in the office, public print location or at home. Mobile printing is wireless and provides high degree of efficiency to its end-users. It uses 802.11 networking or Bluetooth to communicate and can be used on both local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN). Thermal based technology is being used in mobile printing to provide high quality output. There are two types of thermal printing methods which are uses in mobile printing namely direct thermal and thermal transfer. With the help of mobile printing technology the security of the device and system will be enhanced, as an individual is able to set password to prevent unauthorized access, in case of remote printing over internet.. Furthermore, mobile printing reduces need for individual printers on every d

Growing Industrialization will Influence the Oil Condition Monitoring Market Growth

Major players in the global oil condition monitoring market are Bureau Veritas, Intertek, Parker Hannifin Corporation, Castrol Limited, Spectro Analytical Instruments, General Electric Company, and Insight Services Unveils TestOil Oil is an important resource used in various machineries and engines in order to provide lubrication and for temperature regulation. After prolonged usage, oil starts to lose out on its properties and becomes less functional. Using such oil can damage the engine or machinery in which it is being used. Hence, it is necessary to keep a check on the condition of oil and replace or upgrade it after its optimum usage. Oil condition monitoring means keeping a timely check on the quality of oil that is being deployed in the system and taking the necessary steps so that the oil serves its purpose to the fullest. The monitoring also helps in increasing the efficiency of the machine, reduces downtime, and reduces cost, thereby increasing profits. Request A Sampl

Communications Electronics Cooling Systems Market Growth to be Stimulated by Brisk Technological Expansions

The Electronic cooling systems have wide range of applications in many industrial domains for their nature of keeping the electronic device cool and maintain the temperatures optimally required by the device. There are various cooling techniques that includes heat sinks, thermoelectric coolers, forced air systems, fans, and heat pipes.
