Integrating Industrial Networks for Seamless Connectivity and Operational Integrity
Industrial networks must seamlessly integrate edge devices, switches, and cloud connectivity in a cohesive strategy that aligns with industry standards and best practices. These networks need to provide reliable access to operational data across the organization while maintaining the integrity of critical systems. The complexity of industrial network infrastructure often falls into a gap between traditional IT support and control systems automation - IT groups may not fully understand the unique requirements of OT environments, while automation engineers may lack expertise in network architecture "above" the control system level.
