Intelligent Manufacturing Enterprise Network Solutions

Today, many companies are gradually recognising that digital manufacturing and the industrial internet have become the core drivers of industrial software automation, intelligent manufacturing and mass production. In the complex ecosystem of intelligent manufacturing, equipment interconnection is the key cornerstone for building smart factories. Through scientific planning of the network, the development of unified network communication protocols and interface standards, the communication barriers between devices can be broken, the production line from different manufacturers, a wide range of equipment is closely linked, so that they work together to form an organic whole.

Solution advantages:

• Campus business isolation
  Three physically isolated networks (OA network/monitoring network/equipment management network) are used to achieve secure communication across network segments through firewall policies.
• Data centre bimodal architecture
  VXLAN/SDN solution: suitable for traditional virtualised business migration, supports cross-cabinet large Layer 2 network expansion, and achieves microsecond latency.
  Hyper-converged solution: more suitable for cloud-native applications, pooling of compute storage network resources, and sub-millisecond latency to meet new business requirements such as AI training.
• Production network special requirements
  Industrial-grade wireless coverage: adopts industrial Wi-Fi 6 and 5G hybrid networking, supports 99.9% mobile continuity of AGV and AR equipment, and the number of concurrent connections of a single AP is >200 units.
  Protocol compatibility: Deploy industrial protocol gateway at the network boundary to achieve multi-protocol conversion such as OPC UA, Modbus TCP, Profinet, etc..
• Branch edge node design
  Edge computing deployment: edge servers are deployed on the factory side to achieve 30% local processing of data (e.g., machine vision quality inspection) and reduce the transmission pressure on the cloud.
  SD-WAN interconnection solution: MPLS leased line and Internet mixed networking, end-to-end delay <30ms for critical services (PLC control commands).
