Industrial switches can offer a scalable solution, providing advanced visibility and security features such as asset and traffic identification, VLANs, port security, network access control, and microsegmentation techniques to isolate and secure network segments . Industrial switches can offer a scalable solution, providing advanced visibility and security features such as asset and traffic identification, VLANs, port security, network access control, and microsegmentation techniques to isolate and secure network segments . Unmanaged switches are one of those components that almost disappear once they are installed. They do not require configuration, they do not expose dashboards, and they rarely generate alarms. For many engineers, especially early in their careers, they feel like a solved problem. Plug the cables. Industrial companies are seeking to drive operational improvements into their production systems and assets through convergence and digitization by leveraging the new paradigms in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4. Today's advanced manufacturing techniques like robotics, machine vision, and. In the era of Industry 4. 0, industrial networks are upgrading from "connection" to "collaboration", and traditional architectures can no longer support the real-time, reliability and security requirements of intelligent manufacturing.
