I. Background: Driven by Both Energy Costs and "Dual Carbon" Goals Against the backdrop of continued pressure on global manufacturing, energy issues have evolved from a "cost item" to a "core competitiveness factor." On the one hand, fluctuating energy prices and unstable supply chains place sustained cost pressures on energy-intensive industries; on the other hand, the continuous implementation o...

ARCNET still runs reliably in many factories, especially in legacy automation systems. Rather than replacing it, the realistic approach in modern Industry 4.0 projects is to integrate ARCNET into an IIoT architecture through an edge gateway. This allows existing control systems to operate normally while making operational data available to modern platforms. Why ARCNET Should Stay ARCNET remains us...
