Cisco Industrial Network Automation

Industry leaders discussed the technology paradigm shift in manufacturing, and challenges and innovations around security, wireless technologies, and IT/OT collaboration.

After digitizing their operations, today’s factories are poised to take the next step in modernizing their plants. They are investing in advancements that use software to control and automate manufacturing processes from design to production. This software-driven approach consists of using analytics aided by AI/ML technologies to analyze operations data, draw insights, and provide feedback to control systems for more efficient and flexible production processes. 

Cisco Validated Design for offshore wind farms decreases deployment time, risk, and complexity while improving overall security.

Cloud-driven industrial asset visibility and remote secure equipment access accelerate digitization across industries

Cisco IoT solutions enable remote, secure access to onsite machines, leading to significant time and cost savings.

When using the network as a “digital nervous system” it delivers amazing experiences to us humans.

Unless we are talking about highly automated plants, manufacturing workers will always be on-site and unable to work from remote locations. It makes sense to provide this workforce with the same digital mobility and collaboration tools that office workers have — or risk losing a greater mindshare of next generation of workers.

New industrial IoT solutions extend wireless to more places and applications and help operations remotely manage flourishing industrial IoT

OT experts in digital manufacturing borrow tried-and-true practices from IT teams to keep the network high performing, available, and secure.
