Cisco Industrial Routers and 2G & 3G sunset

Cellular technology, evolving from 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE and now 5G, is one of the main pillars of industrial IoT networks. It enables connectivity with thousands of remote devices deployed in the field, across industries and use cases. Like any technology, cellular technology evolves over time as new releases of 3GPP specifications are developed, implemented by […]

Securing digital manufacturing—from a vicious to a virtuous circle

What do factory operations (OT) and IT teams have in common? They both want a reliable and efficient industrial network to increase production outputs, reduce downtime, and protect the enterprise from cyber attacks. But beyond that, each team has its own objectives. OT is dealing with crises like supply chain disruptions and the relentless push […]

About time! Migrating to the new IP67 industrial router

About 10 years ago, Cisco built its first Rugged IP67 router, the Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers. Suffice to say it had a unique skill set, such as the ability to withstand a drop from about 15ft high, being dunked in water, and shoved into an oven! These IP67 routers are completely ruggedized, modular […]

General Motors speeds innovation in electric and autonomous vehicles with Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul

While it sounds futuristic to jump into your self-driving car and take a nap, tackle some work, or simply admire the view out the window, autonomous vehicles are increasingly becoming a reality. Autonomous and electric vehicles will lead to a safer, less congested future for all. General Motors is striving to make this vision a […]

Industry 4.0 and the pursuit of resiliency

Downtime can cost a manufacturer upwards of USD 21,000 per minute. Fortunately, AI has evolved to accurately identify issues and take action. This advanced technology allows companies to easily add intelligent “eyes” to their operations with standard mobile devices — the same smartphones and tablets that you’re using right now. All to quickly identify defects […]

Intelligent asset management and the race to Zero D

In an earlier post, IBM industry expert Scott Campbell talked about how manufacturers are pursuing resiliency and Zero D to stop defects and improve products and service quality. In part two of our discussion, he discusses how mitigating rework can save millions and offers some insights on the value of creating citizen data scientists. Can […]

20 ways smarter asset management paves the way to more sustainable operations

As companies address their role in mitigating environmental impacts, one thing is very clear. A more sustainable world needs the industrial world to build more sustainable operations. The good news is that for heavy industry, sustainability has been on the forefront for years. Adopting environmentally sound practices helps conserve energy, reduce waste, and minimize regulatory […]

Aviation operators rely on environmental intelligence technology as climate change alters global weather patterns

It’s happened to so many of us: we book a flight, make sure our luggage meets airline standards, head to the airport early to get through security, and when we reach the gate, the flight is canceled due to weather. Unfortunately, weather is the most significant cause of flight delays, and severe weather events are […]

Women on the verge of transformational leadership

When IBM launched its first women in leadership study in 2019, the research revealed a persistently glaring gender gap in the global workplace. At that time, only 18% of senior leadership positions worldwide were held by women. And only 12% of organizations surveyed were going above and beyond their peers to address it head on […]
