Industry 4.0

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.

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.

For over a decade, manufacturing leaders and technology partners like Cisco have worked to accelerate industry 4.0 and digital transformation strategies to deliver business outcomes: operational efficiency, reduced downtime, security resiliency, environmental monitoring and sustainability.
