The software opportunity in operations
Digital twins. AI analytics. Control systems virtualization. Operations teams are now starting to build these new software capabilities in their industrial environments, hoping to raise product quality, improve operational efficiencies, reduce downtimes, and lower costs, among other benefits.

The path forward
To take advantage of these opportunities and contend with increased risks, the operations network needs to be scalable, resilient, secure, and deterministic. Key capabilities in industrial switches can help you evolve your operations.

Join us in an interactive discussion led by Cisco experts:
• Paul Didier, Senior Manufacturing Solutions Leader,
• Manmeet Singh, Industrial IoT Product Management Leader, and 
• Albert Mitchell, Industrial IoT Technical Marketing Leader

This session would be a good opportunity to:
- Recognize both the opportunities and challenges that more software control brings
- Learn the key industrial switching capabilities necessary to ensure success
- Understand Cisco Industrial Ethernet products and solutions

It requires a wide variety of deployed and supported use cases to continue improving the safe, reliable, and efficient delivery of power. With the ever-increasing operational reliance on these connected power system assets, the industry remains focused on their underlying operation networks. The scale of assets being deployed within utilities will rival the largest communication networks ever built.

Management automation for grid security, substation and electrical distribution is essential to meeting these challenges.

Learn how to improve system reliability and security with the latest innovations, including software defined networking together with Cisco’s purpose-built for utilities networking portfolio.

In this webinar, we will cover:
- Best practices for WAN and LAN automation in substation scenarios,
- New industrial routing, switching and management capabilities,
- The role of automation in managing a large-scale distribution/feeder network,
- Automating security policies across the power grid.

Next-level Network Automation for the Power Grid

Managing remote access to industrial assets, ranging from traffic signage to connected machines and assets at solar and wind farms is increasingly important, to maintain and upgrade equipment and ensure business continuity. However, it isn’t easy.
 
Challenges range from
·       Minimizing site visits and truck rolls to remote and harsh locations.
·       Providing remote access to third parties quickly so that outages can be addressed fast and you can reduce downtime.
·       Multiple vendors may use their own remote access solutions without your control or oversight.

Operations teams need to be able to manage remote access to connected assets centrally using tools that are aligned with IT to solve these challenges.

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how you can use cloud-based Cisco IoT Operations Dashboard and Secure Equipment Access to provide a consistent, flexible remote access solution under the control of your operations teams. With Secure Equipment Access, operations teams can simply and securely manage access to any connected industrial assets, at scale.

Centrally manage secure remote access to industrial assets

What is CPwE?
Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) is a tested, proven, and validated architecture for networking and securing industrial operations that incorporates products and services from Rockwell Automation, Panduit, and Cisco Systems. It is designed to help achieve the real-time communications, reliability, scalability, security, and resiliency requirements of modern industrial operations, and has been adopted successfully in many manufacturing facilities around the world.

What is new with CPwE?
A living architecture that evolves with the underlying technology, CPwE has recently been enhanced with updates for better visibility, more robust security, improved industrial DMZ (iDMZ), and enhanced resiliency, that address the growing threat landscape more effectively.

Join us for an interactive discussion featuring CPwE experts including:

Substation network operators are facing many challenges in the operational landscape. One of these is the increasing complexity of balancing the wide array of new power generation assets (such as solar and wind) with an equally complex consumption model (such as increase in electric vehicle charging). This real-time balancing act requires operators to connect more assets for increased visibility and control.

As substations are becoming more complex, greater demands are being placed on the network and connectivity.

Join us to find out how to address these challenges, with Cisco’s next-generation routing solutions!

Historically, wireless technology in manufacturing has been limited to less-than-critical sensing applications and connecting IT devices. With rapid digitization of operations and ever-more-mobile applications, the need for high-throughput, scalable, reliable, broad wireless connectivity is rising. Modern wireless technologies have evolved significantly and have radically increased the options for connecting devices and applications in industrial zones. Manufacturers must now decide which technology or technologies to invest in. It is important that they choose the technology best suited for their use case without making compromises on IP networking, cybersecurity, automation, and performance.
Join our experts for a discussion of wireless connectivity technologies that have evolved to support bandwidth-intensive worker productivity applications, reliable mobility for critical assets, and increased data collection from all areas of the plant. All of which significantly boost operational efficiencies and production uptime. We will cover:
- The defining characteristics of various wireless technologies such as public and private 5G, Wi-Fi 6/6E, Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul, and more
- How to evaluate these technologies from their data rate, spectrum, cost considerations, etc.
- How to select a technology by matching your manufacturing use cases with the available options
- Why a combination of multiple technologies may be the right answer for you

Cut Through the Noise: Find the Best Fit for Your Manufacturing Wireless Needs
