What is Gears?

A Feature-based Product Line Engineering (PLE) Factory operates much like a conventional manufacturing plant, yet its emphasis is on digital resources instead of physical goods. In establishing this factory, your organization curates an extensive "superset" supply chain comprising digital assets that are available for use across a broad spectrum of products. These digital assets encompass every feature option in the product portfolio. Each product's chosen features are specified in the Bill-of-Features, after which a product asset instance is created with the help of the Gears product configurator. The PLE Factory, powered by Gears, evolves into an automated system that efficiently assembles and configures the shared digital assets based on the selected features for each variant, all with the simple press of a button. By leveraging BigLever’s Gears, your organization gains access to a cohesive set of PLE principles and frameworks, enhancing the effectiveness of your tools and assets, which ultimately streamlines engineering workflows throughout the complete product lifecycle. This seamless integration not only boosts operational efficiency but also encourages greater innovation in product development, paving the way for a more agile and responsive market approach.

What is FactoryTalk Linx?

The transmission of binary data throughout industrial networks, which links various automation components, is the driving force behind your industrial operations. Ensuring the secure transfer of this data and its precise reconstruction at its destination is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of your processes. At the core of this operation is industrial communication; without it, the ability to effectively monitor, manage, control, and secure your processes would be nearly impossible. FactoryTalk® Linx plays an essential role in unifying all devices that utilize FactoryTalk, including critical third-party components that are integral to your industrial infrastructure. It offers solutions that can accommodate everything from small applications on a single computer with one controller to large-scale installations featuring distributed and redundant data servers that interact with extensive automation systems. Furthermore, the FactoryTalk Linx Gateway allows for smooth communication with both FactoryTalk-compatible devices and those that do not conform to this standard. This adaptability guarantees that your entire operational ecosystem remains interconnected, responsive to changes, and capable of meeting evolving demands, ultimately enhancing productivity and performance across the board.
