Cisco and MEMEX partner to win the secure IIoT Market

Kicking Some Digital Ass in Las Vegas

July 21, 2016 | Sophic Capital | Sean Peasgood & Marcel Valentin

 

99% of manufacturing machine data is trapped inside the machines. Real-time machine data is essentially non-existent because manufacturers fear security breaches in a net worked machine environment. Unlocking this data via secure networks and allowing overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) analysis would weed out invisible and expensive inefficiencies. This issue was at the forefront of IIoT experts in the connected machines pavilion at Cisco live, Cisco’s annual technology conference. We saw Cisco’s secure network solution for manufacturing environments, which was exhibited with partner MEMEX’s manufacturing operations management system platform. Mass adopt ion of using real-time, machine data analytics to create business outcomes is beginning, and MEMEX (a Sophic Capital client) is positioned to become the industry leader.
