Key Objectives:

• Mapping current infrastructure: Documenting all existing connected devices, network topology, and physical infrastructure to gain visibility and eliminate blind spots.
• Identifying inefficiencies: Pinpointing areas of productivity loss, downtime issues, quality discrepancies, and potential safety risks that can be addressed with improved connectivity.
• Evaluating data collection methods: Assessing the current processes (manual or automated) for collecting data from various systems and machines (e.g., CNCs, PLCs, sensors, etc.).
• Developing a roadmap: Providing a digital readiness report that outlines the feasibility of deploying scalable connectivity solutions and recommending necessary actions, including hardware/software upgrades and security measures.
• Ensuring security and compliance: Reviewing safety compliance related to electrical equipment and establishing secure network architectures that align with standards like ISA/IEC 62443 to mitigate cybersecurity risks.
