The palm-sized ultra-compact fanless PC "Tiny Edge PC3 (Model: BXC-TNY3)" has been certified as INtime Ready!!

The definitive version of PC-based hard real-time control, "INtime."

INtime is an event-driven real-time operating system that operates in parallel on the same PC as Windows. It transforms a PC into a control controller for industrial systems, integrating the traditional "PLC + data processing PC + external I/O" into a single unit. ■ It enables high-performance real-time systems on a single industrial PC. ■ It operates on PCs for both commercial and industrial applications. ■ INtime handles control and external I/O, while Windows is responsible for information processing such as HMI, databases, and AI. This division of roles allows for the integration of 'IT and OT' within the same enclosure. ■ Applications running on INtime are developed using Visual Studio, allowing for C/C++ implementation and debugging with the same feel as Windows applications. ■ PLC ladder language and Python can be utilized (optional). ■ Major industrial external I/O interfaces are available, including PCI/PCIe, serial, LAN, and fieldbus (CC-LINK, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, MECHATOROLINK), among others. ■ Comprehensive technical support is provided. Dedicated staff will assist with handling and inquiries related to the product.

MECHATROLINK solution for INtime/INplc

【High-Precision Real-Time Power】 Due to its characteristics, a PC can easily and affordably utilize the latest CPUs. However, high precision and high-speed MECHATROLINK communication cannot be achieved by CPU performance alone. The real-time OS 'INtime' enables deterministic task scheduling. 【Function Integration】 In addition to motion control using MECHATROLINK, a single PC can handle a variety of software functions such as main control processing, sequence control, process control, and HMI. This achieves cost reduction and improved maintainability. 【Free PC Selection】 INtime and INplc can operate on any PC that runs Windows. This means that almost any PC is available for use, allowing for free selection of a PC based on price, size, and expandability to match the target system being developed. 【MECHATROLINK Association】 https://products.mechatrolink.org/product/detail/id=27

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at CTC First Contact, Inc. ~In the case of CTC First Contact~ To prevent situations where one might wonder "I thought I submitted it" or "Where are the documents?", they considered systematization. They were also managing payments to business partners using Excel, but there was a challenge to reduce and improve that workload. After the introduction, the integration with the transfer search significantly reduced the workload. They were able to change the payment site, which was impossible with paper operations. [Case Overview] ■Challenges before implementation - Uncertainty about the location of application documents ■Key points of implementation - Can be operated at a low cost - Flexible customization of settings *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Under the floor and in the attic... "Invisible spaces" are being reconsidered now The environment surrounding the housing industry has changed significantly in recent years. Rising timber prices, increased costs of equipment, a shortage of skilled workers, and prolonged delivery times are not temporary changes but are becoming entrenched as structural changes in the entire housing industry. Furthermore, in recent years, the global surge in resource prices, the depreciation of the yen, and rising logistics costs have compounded the situation, leading to a generally unstable environment for housing-related materials. What was once taken for granted—that "necessary materials can be obtained immediately when needed"—is no longer a given. Additionally, the construction and equipment industries continue to face a serious labor shortage. In particular, the aging of veteran craftsmen who support the field is progressing year by year, while securing young talent is not easy. As a result, situations such as difficulty in scheduling construction dates, longer waiting periods until construction, and limited availability of contractors in certain regions are increasingly common nationwide. In the housing industry, there is a growing sentiment that "construction plans cannot be made with the same sense as before," whether for new builds or renovations, which is becoming the norm across the country.
