Significant Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Industry 4.0 aims to fully integrate the communication processes used in manufacturing to improve the efficiency of factories and transform them into smart factories. This is achieved through the deployment of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), industrial automation, data exchange and smart field devices. The benefits of Industry 4.0 and IIoT include the integration of IO-Link solutions with full industrial automation systems, easy sensor replacement, elimination of manual parameter settings, continuous data monitoring and condition diagnostics, and increased uptime.
Restraint:
IO-Link solutions help reduce cabling and wiring in industrial machinery. The manufacturing industry demands compact and reliable solutions for operational processes. This requires small machines on the factory floor. In addition to being small, these compact machines consume less power and offer better performance than other industrial solutions. Also, wiring on small machines is already short. In these cases, deploying an IO-Link solution is more expensive for industry participants. Additionally, these machines are efficient and require less space than conventional machines and other industry solutions. Therefore, the use of small machines for industrial automation is a key obstacle to the growth of the IO-Link market.
Opportunity:
A minor downtime can result in huge losses for manufacturing units in the automotive industry. Defects can disrupt the entire production process. IO-Link devices are used to eliminate this downtime, improve products and production processes, and ensure regular preventive maintenance. The IO-Link master has been developed according to AIDA specifications for the automotive industry and offers enhanced performance. The automation initiative of the German domestic automobile manufacturer (AIDA) has defined standards for IO-Link masters used in the automotive industry. According to this standard, an L-coded power connection with functional earth is used for all field modules. Vertical integration of automation for the automotive industry includes support for EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP. IO-Link products are also used for seamless integration with the controller. The automotive industry is therefore expected to create tremendous opportunities for IO-Link ecosystem players in the near future.
Challenge:
IO-Link solutions are vulnerable to threats such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF), reflected cross-site scripting (XSS), blind command injection, and denial of service (DoS) issues. Additionally, other risks associated with IO-Link include spear phishing, watering holes, and database injection. In a phishing attack, digital criminals can steal data from your device by tricking you into sharing an application's security key. Cyber risks threaten industrial automation and control systems (IACS). However, cybersecurity measures are in place to protect IACS from these risks. These attacks threaten the manufacturing industry and are used to gain financial gain or valuable business information. These risks originate from the web, corporate systems, programming checks and unauthorized access.
