Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is industrial connectivity? Why is it important?

Industrial connectivity enables integrations and networking amongst various industrial devices, machines, and systems to enable communication, data exchange, control, and automation. This connectivity is the foundation for smart manufacturing, connected service, and digital thread initiatives to optimize efficiency, improve quality, reduce downtime, and enable predictive maintenance.

How does industrial connectivity work?

Industrial connectivity works by creating a channel for communication and data across the machines in your production. Leveraging device drivers, industrial connectivity gives voice to machines by translating the proprietary protocols of each asset into normalized data that can then be accessed by a variety of IT and OT software systems that help monitor, control, and analyze your machines.

What's the difference between industrial connectivity and industrial networking?

Industrial connectivity is a software solution for accessing OT data—created by devices, PLCs, machines, and more—and making it available amongst IT and OT systems. Industrial networking solutions are typically hardware-based and include routers, switches, cables, and devices.

What is industrial connectivity?

Industrial connectivity integrates and networks various industrial devices, machines, and systems for communication, data exchange, control, and automation. This connectivity provides data for smart manufacturing, connected products and service, and digital thread initiatives to improve efficiency, ensure quality, avoid downtime, and enable predictive maintenance.

Why should I standardize my connectivity?

Standardized connectivity creates a single, trusted source of industrial data that simplifies integration, improves security, and accelerates every OT and IT initiative built on top of it.
