Access Data and Capture New Insights with Plant-Wide Connectivity

Industrial connectivity technology gives central control rooms access to the vast volume of data being created across intelligent buildings and factory floors, enabling remote asset management, centralized planning, and real-time diagnostics. The first step toward a digital enterprise is connecting previously unconnected field devices or assets.

Engineering an intelligent, connected automation environment where all equipment seamlessly collect and share information is central to the IIOT vision. The challenge becomes interconnecting all the devices across the enterprise and enabling both real-time and nonreal-time traffic to coexist. This requires low latency, deterministic, low power, robust industrial connectivity technology to unlock the intelligent edge. Understanding the choices available and identifying the best technology is essential to future-proofing the network architecture.
