## Orange Precision and Hilscher Achieve Significant Breakthrough in Multi-Protocol Industrial Communication

Orange Precision Measurement, in collaboration with Hilscher, has achieved a significant success in industrial Ethernet protocols. They have rapidly deployed PROFINET, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP protocols alongside the DeviceNet fieldbus protocol.

### A New Standard in Multi-Protocol Communication

Developed based on Hilscher's netX 90 ASIC technology, this solution can support 9 different industrial communication protocols. This enables device manufacturers to meet global market needs without changing hardware. For Orange Precision, this means quickly integrating legacy field protocols with modern Ethernet infrastructures into a single, scalable system.

### Software Simplicity and Rapid Development

Thanks to Hilscher's application programming interface (API), Orange Precision engineers accelerated development by reducing software complexity and focused on customer value rather than protocol-based issues.

### Strategic and Technological Gains

Berwin Banares, CTO of Orange Precision, states that the selection of a multi-protocol platform was not just a technical decision but a strategic one. It provides rapid integration capabilities for diverse industrial customers, competitive advantage, and the power to adapt to the future. CEO Karl Li considers the protocol integration, achieved in as little as one year and with minimal resources, a success of netX 90 technology and team collaboration.

### Industry Impact and Future Readiness

This achievement stands out not only for the number of protocols but also for its speed and excellent application performance. Orange Precision has begun deploying its products with integrated advanced communication capabilities worldwide. As new protocols emerge, they have the flexibility to adapt without redesigning their systems from scratch.

The collaboration with Hilscher supports innovative solutions in industrial automation, leading the way for the widespread adoption of smarter and more connected systems.
