The Connected Factory

"We rely on Cisco industrial solutions to secure our AGVs. As a leading manufacturer of Autonomous Guided Vehicles, as well as robotic and warehouse solutions for factories and distribution centers, it is our responsibility to ensure the safe operation of our products. By leveraging the hosted and built-in defense-in-depth security features of Cisco Industrial Ethernet switches, we gain the visibility, segmentation, and device authentication necessary to detect and contain malware before it can compromise the security and safety of our deployments."

Fabio Oleari, Manager of OT Cybersecurity, E80 Group

Cisco and Splunk AI solutions empower Northvolt to leverage data for production optimization, Argos to save energy and achieve NetZero goals, and E80 Group's AGVs to avoid obstacles and keep workers safe.

Cisco’s integrated IT and OT networking infrastructure enables Northvolt to employ smart manufacturing techniques, make data-driven decisions, and scale their operations in their quest to build and recycle batteries with low carbon footprint.

"To increase security, decrease support requirements, and improve flexibility, Audi is developing its Edge Cloud for Production (EC4P) platform. EC4P virtualizes production assets and relies on software-defined networking by Cisco IoT and Enterprise solutions that provide a scalable, resilient, secure, and deterministic network."

Dr. Henning Löser, head of Production Labs, Audi

"Gaining visibility into industrial assets is key to securing operations. The combination of Cyber Vision and Cisco industrial networking makes it simple to gain visibility at scale. It’s the foundation for a robust OT network and a comprehensive approach to IoT security."

Dino Busalachi, CTO and co-founder, Velta Technology

"Previously, we had firewalls in place, but little visibility of what was behind each firewall. Cisco Cyber Vision gives us the visibility of exactly what devices are connected, their profiles, how much traffic they generate, what they are communicating, and who has remote access to them."

Pascal Pauwels, infrastructure director, Unilin Group

"Cisco industrial Ethernet switches helped us create a secure and highly functional IoT network with which we could collect critical operational information from the manufacturing equipment terminals, helping us create a more intelligent production line."

Yuichi Murai, supervisor of the Powertrain Production Engineering Department, Nissan

"The biggest part of Volkswagen Group's network is Cisco-based. It was extremely valuable to discuss our network requirements with such an experienced organization."
