Commercial Operational Technology

Industrial automation and digital transformation are driving market growth for scalable and standardized networking solutions to address the needs of commercial Operational Technology (OT) deployments.

The increasing demand for industrial automation and digital transformation is driving the market growth for scalable and standardized networking solutions. There has been a growing trend of convergence between industrial automation and digital transformation. This is due to the increasing availability of digital technologies that can be used to automate industrial processes.

Industrial automation is the use of control systems to automate industrial processes. This involves the use of sensors, actuators, and controllers to monitor and control equipment and machinery. Whereas, Digital transformation is the process of using digital technologies to change the way an organization operates. This can involve the use of cloud computing, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence to improve efficiency, productivity, and decision-making.

Industrial automation and digital transformation are two different concepts, but they are closely related. Industrial automation is a subset of digital transformation, and it is often used to achieve the goals of digital transformation. Both industrial automation and digital transformation require a reliable and secure networking infrastructure. Scalable and standardized networking solutions can meet these needs by providing the flexibility and performance required to support a wide range of devices and applications.

Key benefits of scalable and standardized networking solutions for industrial automation and digital transformation includes:

· Increased reliability and uptime

· Improved performance

· Increased security and

· Reduced costs

As the demand for industrial automation and digital transformation continues to grow, the market for scalable and standardized networking solutions is expected to grow as well.

There are various scalable and standardized networking solutions for industrial automation and digital transformation are: Ethernet, Industrial Ethernet, Wireless networking and Time-sensitive networking (TSN).

Moving forward, all of the solutions that were mentioned can provide a reliable and secure foundation for these applications. The convergence of industrial automation and digital transformation is creating new opportunities for businesses to improve their operations and create new products and services.
