Machines that make up a modern factory create more than just sweatshirts or submarines. They create lots and lots of data. This data can tell you everything from how efficient the machine is to how likely it is to break. For plant managers, being able to see and act on this data is key. It holds the secrets to new product introduction velocity, real-time margins, and productivity stats at the worker level. It even allows access to a so-called ‘product pedigree’ – so they can so they can track a product from start to finish.
To help plant managers tap into that data, Cisco is introducing three new pieces to the Connected Factory portfolio. In doing so, we are laying the foundation for Industrie 4.0. And our own Digital Network Architecture, or DNA, is powering it. Welcome to the next generation of smart manufacturing.
1. Time Sensitive Networking now supports the IE4000 Switch family: A new standard that protects the data and makes sure those critical applications are running on the network. And, what you purchase today will work tomorrow.
2. Cisco IoT Intelligence Platform: Not looking for just another visualization platform? This one is unique. It can extract data from a variety of sources – and it can tie together all the existing data threads in the plant. Oh, and it’s also analytic-engine agnostic. Reporting is easy – just drag and drop data in a simple interface.
3. Industrial Network Director: Made with operators in mind – not just IT. Factories have full control of the plant network. They can also set-up faster and risk less downtime. Plus, it offers true plug-and-play functionality. Install your managed switch and rest assured that the proper security, settings, and functionality are set. No manual programming required
