Helping manufacturers achieve production uptime, real-time
analytics and unified data to boost efficiency and revenue
Belden (NYSE: BDC), a leading global supplier of network
infrastructure and digitization solutions, today announced
game-changing new network and data capabilities for the discrete
manufacturing sector. These initial three capabilities – network
resilience, edge computing and data interoperability – are enabled
through Belden Horizon, a platform that brings together hardware,
software and services in a single source. The capabilities also
serve as the building blocks for Belden’s solution-driven approach
to meeting customers where they are, clarifying business needs
through thoughtful conversation and solving for desired outcomes.
For consumer-packaged goods and automotive (discrete)
manufacturers, this means helping advance their digitization
journeys to unlock the efficiency and insight promised by the shift
to Industry 4.0.
Today’s production lines generate substantial amounts of data
from connected operational technology (OT) devices. When discrete
manufacturers evolve their network infrastructures and data
operations, they can collect and make sense of this high-value
data, propelling productivity gains and increasing revenue. Belden
provides solutions to connect every facet of the plant – machines,
people, processes, robots and more. By quickly and securely
collecting and analyzing vital performance data at the edge, Belden
solutions transform data into actionable insights that lead to
better decisions for operations and the bottom line.
Belden’s newest capabilities solve for common discrete
manufacturing pain points, allowing manufacturers to minimize
unplanned downtime, pursue real-time analytics and overcome data
silos:
- Network resilience. Belden’s solutions improve network
resilience and production uptime by connecting all machines and
assets to the network to eliminate blind spots and ensure committed
bandwidth – without replacing existing technology. Manufacturers
can protect networks from traffic surges and cybersecurity threats
and build network redundancy to maintain reliable service and
prioritize critical applications.
- Edge computing. By enabling data processing close to the
machines, equipment and devices generating it, Belden solutions
empower people to access, analyze and act on information to solve
local issues faster and reduce data transfer to the cloud. Edge
computing enables manufacturers to keep sensitive data on premises
while driving real-time data analysis and network performance
monitoring to identify, prioritize and resolve unexpected issues
quickly.
- Data interoperability. Seamlessly convert and bring
together data from various sources, formats, protocols, and sites
to power applications and analytics for better decision making.
Belden solutions translate previously incompatible proprietary
protocols into a common language to unite OT data and gain richer
insights.
“A long-recognized leader in the industrial space, Belden’s
portfolio extends beyond our traditional cables, switches and
routers to provide network and data solutions to our customers,”
said Vinod Rana, Vice President Global Products and Solutions,
Industrial Automation Solutions. “With the launch of our new
capabilities for discrete manufacturers, we’re addressing the
realities of digital transformation and Industry 4.0 – the need to
connect and secure more devices and equipment, extract more data,
and put data to meaningful use. By helping manufacturers build more
resilient networks, harness the power of edge computing, and unify
and convert data, we’re enabling them to create a robust network
backbone that satisfies today’s requirements while scaling for
tomorrow’s ambitions.”
Combining best-in-class products, services, and deep expertise
from more than 120 years as a networking and connectivity
innovator, Belden capabilities empower manufacturers to modernize,
optimize, automate and secure their networks from end-to-end. With
Belden solutions, discrete manufacturers can achieve factory-wide
visibility, organize data for meaningful use, reduce total cost of
ownership, and attain powerful business outcomes.
