Amidst increasing demands for efficiency and productivity, many\nmanufacturing companies still face challenges such as sub-optimal\nconnectivity in production areas, limited integrity between Information\nTechnology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks,\ntroubleshooting difficulties, and unintegrated operational stability.\nThese conditions have the potential to increase downtime, which hinders\nproduction performance.<\/p>\n
To address this, PT Multipolar Technology Tbk (MLPT), a leading\nsolution integrator under PT Multipolar Tbk (MLPL), is offering two\nintelligent solutions designed to prevent downtime in manufacturing\nfirms: Huawei iMaster NCE-Campus and Huawei OceanStor Dorado. Developed\nby technology giant Huawei, Multipolar Technology serves as the\nnetworking partner for these solutions.<\/p>\n
During a seminar titled \u201cSmart Factory in Action: Stop Downtime,\nStart Performance,\u201d held by Multipolar Technology and Huawei in\nCikarang, Bekasi, Budianto Chandra, Division Head of Network Presales at\nMultipolar Technology, stated that these solutions are designed to help\nmanufacturers build more reliable, intelligent, secure, flexible, and\nefficient operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a modern manufacturing environment, factory networks must be able\nto seamlessly connect production areas, warehouses, offices,\nsurveillance cameras, monitoring dashboards, and data centres.\nProduction systems must also support industrial machinery, robotic arms,\nautonomous guided vehicles, warehouse management systems, and IoT\nsensors in real-time. Huawei iMaster NCE-Campus is here to simplify the\nmanagement of such complex network connectivity,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Through unified IT\/OT management, iMaster NCE-Campus can manage\nthousands of network devices and tens of thousands of terminals\nsimultaneously. Its primary advantage lies in its ability to automate\nnetworks using Artificial Intelligence (AI). Additionally, the solution\nsupports plug-and-play provisioning to shorten the onboarding time for\nnew network devices, while its Wi-Fi 7 access points provide stable\nconnectivity without blind spots in industrial areas.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the iMaster NCE-CampusInsight platform, integrated with\nthe iMaster NCE-Campus solution, is equipped with AI-based root cause\nanalysis and a network digital map. This allows manufacturers to monitor\nuser experience, application performance, and network status through a\nsingle pane of glass management dashboard. The platform supports over 27\nOT protocols, such as Modbus, Profinet, and Onvif, which can detect and\nblock various cyber threats, thereby preventing network disruptions that\nlead to production downtime.<\/p>\n
To ensure the rapid data access required by iMaster NCE-Campus,\nHuawei OceanStor Dorado plays a vital role. This solution offers a\nnext-generation storage platform to support mission-critical workloads\nwith high performance, integrated security, and enterprise-class\nreliability. \u201cIt is understood that storage in the management of IT\/OT\nnetworks in manufacturing companies is no longer merely a support\ncomponent, but has become a strategic enabler,\u201d Budianto clarified.<\/p>\n
The FlashLink Algorithms used in OceanStor Dorado can increase cache\nefficiency by up to 50%, accelerate data reconstruction by up to 20\ntimes, and minimise latency in storage systems. Its RAID-TP feature\nallows the system to continue operating without interrupting production\neven if three disks fail simultaneously. The ability to handle up to 7\ncontroller failures out of 8, combined with agility in disaster recovery\nand business continuity, provides significant added value to this\nsolution.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn essence, the collaboration between iMaster NCE-Campus and\nOceanStor Dorado can serve as a strong foundation for realising a\nsmarter, more reliable, secure, and efficient smart factory without\ndowntime. This enables manufacturing companies to be more productive,\ninnovative, and competitive compared to their rivals,\u201d added\nBudianto.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/accelerate-manufacturing-productivity-with-ai-based-network-and-storage-solutions-1780898467", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
