VORTEX 2024: Status report on the current state of industrial networks
More complex requirements for automated systems require in-depth OT network expertise
For maintenance engineers, network managers and e-planners/designers!
The VORTEX Report 2024 shows, based on over 500 metrological deployments on behalf of customers, that industrial companies are still far from fully exploiting the potential of their industrial networks, particularly in view of the increasing volumes of data and the need for efficient and secure networks. The foundations have already been laid: Ethernet-based networks with PROFINET, for example, are overtaking PROFIBUS in terms of the number of installed devices for the first time this year. This is also reflected in the analysis of more than 500 trade fair deployments by Indu-Sol's network experts.
VORTEX 2024 also deals with:
The typical sources of error
The number of installed devices with PROFINET exceeds the number of devices with PROFIBUS for the first time. Read how the current sources of error have developed.
Predictive maintenance
The importance of predictive maintenance is growing, as 90% of breakdowns can be avoided by taking timely action.
IT-OT connectivity and OT security
Both are key elements in increasing business efficiency and remaining competitive. A holistic strategy and network expertise are required from the planning stage onwards.
The true cost of unplanned downtime
The cost of unplanned plant downtime has risen by up to 50% in almost all industries. This compares with investments in condition monitoring solutions. When is the ROI achieved in which industry?
