Industries
Manufacturing networks for plants, warehouses, and industrial IoT.
Connect production lines, control systems, sensors, and offices with secure, resilient networking built for Industry 4.0.
Built for uptime and safety
Network designs consider production schedules, environmental constraints, and safety needs so connectivity issues don’t stop the line.
Connectivity challenges in manufacturing
Plants mix legacy control systems with new IIoT sensors, mobile devices, and cloud analytics, often in harsh RF environments.
Downtime, latency, or security incidents can quickly affect output, quality, and worker safety.
What an industrial network needs
- Robust wired core: Industrial‑grade switching and cabling for controllers, PLCs, and critical systems.
- Reliable wireless: Wi‑Fi or private cellular tuned for roaming devices, scanners, and sensors.
- Segmentation: Separate IT, OT, guest, and vendor networks with clear policies.
- Security & monitoring: Threat detection and visibility across production and corporate segments.
Services for manufacturers and industrial sites
Industrial‑grade Internet & WAN
Connect plants, warehouses, and offices with resilient links.
SD‑WAN & private networking
Prioritize production traffic and connect multiple facilities securely.
Plant Wi‑Fi & IIoT connectivity
Wireless for scanners, AGVs, tablets, and sensors on the floor.
Advanced & Managed Security
Help protect both IT and OT from cyber threats and misuse.
Manufacturing use cases we support
- Connected production lines: Link machines, sensors, and controllers for real‑time monitoring.
- Quality and OEE analytics: Move data from the floor to analytics and MES platforms.
- Warehouse & logistics: Support scanners, robots, and yard operations over Wi‑Fi.
- Remote sites: Connect remote plants, depots, and service centers securely.
Benefits for plant managers and IT/OT teams
Less unplanned downtime: Reliable connectivity supports monitoring and maintenance workflows.
Better visibility: Central telemetry from production lines, sites, and devices.
Improved security: Reduce risk from ransomware and lateral movement between IT and OT.
Scalable design: Add lines, shifts, and sites without redesigning your entire network.
Example plant and warehouse network design
Use core and distribution switches for production zones, with separate VLANs for control, IIoT, corporate, and guest traffic.
Plant Wi‑Fi provides coverage along lines and aisles, while security overlays monitor traffic and protect critical systems from external and internal threats.
Typical path
Machines/sensors/terminals → Industrial switches & Wi‑Fi → Security Edge/Advanced Security → SD‑WAN/Internet/private backbone → MES, ERP, analytics, and cloud services.
Manufacturing FAQs
Can you support both legacy OT and modern IIoT?
Yes. Designs can segment and connect legacy control networks alongside newer IIoT and analytics platforms, with appropriate protections in between.
How do you handle Wi‑Fi in harsh or RF‑noisy environments?
Site‑aware designs, directional antennas, and careful channel planning help maintain stable connectivity even around metal racks and machinery.
