- Market Trends & Technology Updates Wired Communication
Industry 4.0 brings many changes that require the adoption of new networking technologies in factories. Current solutions are only partially suitable for Industry 4.0, and new techniques and devices must be developed to meet the demanding needs of flexibility, bandwidth, real-time behavior, mobility, scalability, energy efficiency, reliability, availability, and security. These new technologies must interface with higher-level information technologies and communicate via Ethernet-based protocols.
