Cisco and Rockwell strengthen OT/ICS security with visibility for converged plantwide ethernet (CPwE)
Industrial cybersecurity needs granular security policies. This requires visibility into what assets are connected. Learn how Cisco and Rockwell are enabling OT visibility into CPwE with Cyber Vision.
Is it time to virtualize your factory floor?
Virtualization of control systems in a manufacturing environment can be hugely beneficial provided you build a flexible, scalable, deterministic, and secure network to ease transition to a centralized pool of virtual machines.
Forward Thinking – Critical Infrastructure Outcomes In 2023
Over the past year, companies operating in critical infrastructure and industrial industries have faced numerous business challenges: labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical conflicts, cybersecurity threats, extreme weather events, and the urgency of implementing sustainability and net zero strategies, to name more than a few.
Industrial Processes and Wireless Communications – Part III: Process Automation Monitoring
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.
Industrial Processes & Wireless Communications – Part II: Manufacturing Logistics
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.
Industrial Processes & Wireless Communications – Part I: Robots and AGV
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.
