In the final segment of this three-part series, I put an advisory lens on process automation monitoring, dissecting the application flow, and a little detail on why the serving wireless medium must behave in a particular way to support it.
This blog is the second in a three part series, bringing a lens on manufacturing logistics, dissecting the application flow and a little detail on why the serving wireless medium must behave in a particular way to support it.
The Internet is littered with articles about Industry 4.0. Adoption of digital industrial processes is facilitated when these processes run over wireless infrastructure, but the communications technology must deliver against strict application requirements for performance and reliability.
To stay competitive, manufacturing companies must implement lean and efficient operations to improve and protect operating margins. They must also drive automation improvements by leveraging technological innovation. Innovations like remote tool connectivity and mobility enable factory workforce productivity and collaboration like never before.
Factories, mines and production facilities have remained widely unconnected, limiting the productivity improvements that connected workers are capable of delivering. Enter the Cisco IW6300 next generation industrial wireless solution.
Last week at Cisco Live US 2019, we announced our next generation heavy duty industrial wireless platform, the IW6300. This Class 1, Div 2, IP67 rated intrinsically safe...
Manufacturers use wireless to increase margins, reduce cycle times, enable lean, and improve equipment productivity. While pervasive wireless connects sensors, tools, robots, AGVs, and RFID devices, it also enables mobility....
Today, organizations around the US are turning their attention to the future of manufacturing. Manufacturing Day (October 6) recognizes the critical role the industry plays in the county’s economy and workforce. Across the US, manufacturing is viewed as an essential sector to economic growth: 76% of Americans say they think the country needs to make […]
Earlier this month, I was involved in a webinar in partnership with CSIA and Panduit that focused on system integrators and expanding their business. The system integrator role is evolving from being project-centric into a long-term solutions partner who can help manufacturing clients in critical areas such as: Security considerations on the factory floor IT/OT […]
