Secure, agile and scalable cloud solutions for manufacturing

Optimizing IT and OT costs

Today’s manufacturing businesses are faced with higher spending obligations for not just the physical facilities, machinery and workforce, but they also have to allocate a handsome budget for developing infrastructure for the information and operational technologies. The operational and maintenance costs for such technologies is considerably high. Besides, the level of dynamism, optimization and capacity required for such infrastructures require continuous advanced research and development practices which is often not a great cost-effective option for most businesses.

Unlocking the potential of data

IIoT and Industry 4.0 strategies built by manufacturers around the world require extensive optimization to be harnessed and used. Data visualization, optimization, analytics and forecasting are highly valued in almost all manufacturing sectors including the smart manufacturing, engineering and design, supply chain management, smart product innovation etc. Due to lack of adequate technological infrastructure and a sound cloud support, it is getting increasingly difficult for manufacturers to unlock the true potential of data.

Building a smart manufacturing infrastructure

Digital transformation to an intelligent, connected manufacturing facility or plant requires a wide range of devices, equipment and systems. It also requires a robust digital infrastructure allowing seamless integration of a wide range of applications and processes to a centralized system which is essential for smart manufacturing. Manufacturers often lack the level of specialization, manpower, and the right equipment to develop such a system of their own.

Cybersecurity risk

As automation gets streamlined across the manufacturing industry, so are cybersecurity risks, which pose a substantial threat of monetary losses. The core fields in cybersecurity include identity and access management, infrastructure protection, detective controls, data protection, and compliance and for most businesses it is difficult to remain updated in every point of vulnerability. That is why it is always wise to employ a dedicated security protection provider to ensure complete cybersecurity for the digital infrastructure.
