Extreme Networks’ solutions can help manufacturers embrace digital transformation and adopt digital manufacturing practices, enabling them to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve quality.
The network is a strategic asset for Smart Manufacturing because it enables manufacturers to leverage the latest manufacturing technologies and practices to improve their operations and gain a competitive advantage. A robust and secure network infrastructure is essential to support these technologies and practices, including the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), robotics, automation, and advanced analytics.By providing real-time visibility into operations, the network enables manufacturers to monitor production processes, optimize supply chains, and respond quickly to changing market demands. The network also enables manufacturers to collect and analyze data from various sources, including machines, sensors, and devices, providing insights into production processes, quality control, and maintenance needs.
In addition to supporting advanced technologies and practices, the network is also essential for collaboration and communication between different parts of the manufacturing operation, including design, production, logistics, and customer service. This helps to improve efficiency, reduce lead times, and enhance customer service.
A strategic network infrastructure also enables manufacturers to improve their cybersecurity posture, protecting their operations and data from cyber threats. The network can be designed to provide secure connectivity, robust threat detection and response tools, and compliance with industry regulations and standards.
