Powering Connected and Autonomous Factories: Network Awareness for Manufacturing Industry 4.0

To deliver on the promise of Industry 4.0 with its autonomous and intelligent operations, requires access to reliable, high-speed, low-latency connectivity. Today’s programmable networks, such as 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi 6 deliver wireless connectivity equivalent to today’s wired technology. Their speeds and rock-solid connectivity provide the foundation for AI integration with remote process sensors and ultra-high-definition video cameras for real-time automated decision-making and process improvements in a manufacturing environment.  

But competition for resources can create bottlenecks and disruptions. Shabodi NetAware solves that issue by giving cricital manufacturing applications control over network resources and the ability to intelligently negotiate for resources for optimized performance across your operations. 

Shabodi-NetAware Programmable Network Platform makes it easy for manufacturers to give their applications ‘network awareness’ to take advantage of the many network services available to impact performance and outcomes. NetAware provides simple, reusable APIs to enable application developers to quickly build and deploy intelligent, portable, vendor-agnostic network-aware applications. Manufacturers need these applications to bring advanced use cases to life, such as cost-effective automation at scale, immersive expert assistance with Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), automated quality control, and more.
