Over the last several years, manufacturers have tapped industrial Ethernet to connect machines, sensors, and a broad range of devices on the factory floor. Customers have taken advantage of a rapidly evolving IoT ecosystem to transform that data into action and to integrate with applications to gain operational and business insights.
Such an approach has generated dramatic business outcomes including:
- Improved business efficiency as measured by improvements in Overall Equipment Effectiveness
- Business growth as measured by new product introduction velocity
- Increased productivity as measured by asset utilization and workforce effectiveness
