Manufacturing

Modern manufacturing has evolved beyond the production of standalone products rather, it operates as a intricate process involving the procurement, production, and integration of various components within a global supply chain subject to raw material availability, skills, expertise, customer demands, and more. Today, manufactures are also confronted by the challenges and opportunities of Industry 4.0. With this digital progression unlocking new possibilities to enhance and optimize operational efficiency, productivity, safety and sustainability, modern manufacturers are tasked to digitally transformation their operations. 

Challenges for the Manufacturing Industry

  • Centralized Control – Increasing demand for centralization of enterprise resource planning applications as manufacturing activities are spread across different geographies to leverage low-cost manufacturing and mitigate supply chain risks
  • Agility – Build anticipatory/adaptive supply chain management to respond to supply chain disruptions such as a spike in demand, natural disaster, or supplier delivery failure
  • Efficiency – Just-in-time manufacturing means service disruptions will result in cost and productivity losses
  • Connectivity – receiving dynamic files from software packages like AutoCAD over traditional WANs can be time-consuming and unproductive
  • Learning – Machine to Machine communication and the advent of the connected device means that collection manipulation and use of big data from each machine is essential to drive efficiencies in a global supply chain
  • Availability – Complex supply chain of employees, suppliers, and customers that require 24/7 business systems availability and collaboration capability
  • Data – Constant flow of data from advanced digital tools causing network bottlenecks due to insufficient bandwidth, storage, device or server overload
  • Security – Lack of security awareness, compliance and regulatory standards and knowledge when building and maintaining networks viable for Industry 4.0

Bringing a Global Organization Together to Innovate: VMware SD-WAN and Coevolve are the key to the to the collaboration highway for automotive manufacturer.

Since migrating to VMware SD-WAN, the performance of our Internet links has gotten better and better, and the bang for the buck has improved. In the past, we often felt that we all needed our own dedicated bandwidth, because we didn’t trust the Internet to carry our business-critical traffic. We don’t see an issue at all now.” – Andy Loughlin, IT Director at AutoPacific Group
