The fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, driven by technologies, such as IoT, advanced robotics and cloud computing, is dramatically impacting how manufacturing and production sectors operate. The factories are becoming smarter, more autonomous and less wasteful, while reducing the overall operating costs.
One of the pillars of adopting Industry 4.0 is a reliable and secure communication infrastructure. It is an enabling factor for various advanced platforms and applications in an industrial setting, such as predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, industrial edge computing and more.
With more sensors being installed on the machines, communication and connectivity solutions that can withstand harsh environmental conditions are being adopted.
