The market demands increased production flexibility and improved operational efficiency. The next wave of automation investments are leveraging Internet Protocol to drive programs that make machinery capable of manufacturing a wider variety of products, deploy production lines with shorter switchover time between finished goods, and develop self-diagnosing plants that run through component failure.
The emergence of open networks and operating systems in industrial environments makes risk assessment and mitigation vital. The Industrial IP Advantage community can help you learn how to address your industrial security through a system-wide, defense-in-depth approach.
Mobility services that were once a convenience are now critical to production operations. Doing more with less means that workforces need better tools for staying informed regardless of their location. In addition, today's industrial processes require dynamic reconfiguration and rapid relocation and deployment of equipment.
Video has historically been an underused technology in manufacturing and production. Standard Internet Protocol allows for rapid deployment of video on a common platform without the need to deploy a parallel network, which greatly enhances physical security and surveillance, safety and maintenance opening a new realm of possibilities and value.
Virtualization and cloud techniques deliver higher availability and reduced deployment time and costs, and big data and analytics have potential to transform the way we optimize production operations.
Connecting intelligent machines on open IP networks gives line-of-sight without the need to be on-site. Whether machinery is remote from operations centers or human resources are distributed beyond the plant perimeter, real-time, borderless collaboration between manufacturing, engineering and suppliers improves decision-making, efficiency, productivity and use of internal and external resources.
It's very difficult to legislate for changes in energy costs these days. What you can do, however, is minimize energy consumption to minimize expenditure – relatively minor operational modifications can lead to significant savings.
