Production Wireless LAN

Program logic controllers (PLCs) deliver clear benefits: reduced costs and improved bottom-line performance. But factories need to modernize to take advantage of this opportunity--which includes installing reliable switch networks that help streamline the production process and automate quality control. In these scenarios, reliability matters more than speed or bandwidth; 10 or 100 Mbps (megabytes per second) may be sufficient, but the network's connectivity must be unshakably trustworthy. A fiber-optic, Ethernet-enabled Matrix E5 can be the best choice for data centers where a factory has 50 to 60 machines, but only requires one switch.
