Networks serve as the bridge in a connected industrial system. For data to get from one point to another, it will have to pass through a network. The network serves as the data highway where business-to-business, device-to-device, and people-to-device connectivity takes place and makes it possible to collect import data. Today, OT (operational technology) and IT are converging to improve the productivity and profitability of manufacturing, energy, mass transportation, city infrastructure, and more. But bringing edge connectivity, protocol conversion, and edge computing to a position where they can be adopted en masse on the factory floor is easier said than done. Fortunately, we can provide secure, reliable, and easy-to-manage IIoT solutions like industrial-grade Ethernet switches, routers and gateways.
