Ethernet networks are common within corporate business networks, but are also becoming a popular choice within industry. It offers a way for many companies to integrate within their current business networks with speed, flexibility and openness. A trend shows that more and more industries are embracing this type of network.
While the networking concepts are similar, effectively maximizing the power of Industrial Ethernet networks requires specific expertise and education in this area.
“IT corporate/business Ethernet-based networks and Industrial Ethernet networks may seem like they are one and the same,” Melvin Foo, Principal Engineer and owner of Kazio Networks, said. “However, there are still many who apply IT-based techniques, methodologies and equipment to Industrial Ethernet infrastructures -- not being aware that there are unique differences and requirements within an industrial environment.”
According to Foo, industrial companies that apply these techniques and methodologies within a manufacturing and production environment may prove costly, and at times, even fatal.
According to the ARC Advisory Group, Industrial Ethernet is an increasing network infrastructure and will grow to nearly a one billion dollar market, worldwide.
