Abstract

This IDC Survey Spotlight examines the connectivity services spend by Asia/Pacific manufacturers. Data has been the core of manufacturing process evolution and the role of connectivity technologies is to aid in capturing these operational metrics and curating insights in real time. Interestingly, several manufacturing organizations have admitted to investing in technologies that can help track, source, and store their operational digital footprint but do nothing beyond that. The objective of these datasets is not only for identifying historical markers that affect asset productivity, but also for predicting future aberrations and outages. And that would be possible through computing architectures either on edge or cloud by partnering with managed network SPs that can bring in industry best practices and frameworks based on existing network infrastructure maturities.
