How an Event Mesh Works in Manufacturing
Advantages of an Event Mesh
Technical Advantages
- IT/OT integration: with an event mesh that supports a variety of open standard protocols and APIs, events can be streamed to and from OT and IT, across plants, factories, clouds and datacenters.
- Data in factories/plants and HQ is always in sync: data and events are streamed in real-time between factories/plants and datacenters/HQ.
- Data streaming is WAN optimized and lossless: data can be streamed globally using less bandwidth, and with lower latency and guaranteed delivery.
Business Value
- Improved asset utilization and operational efficiency: real-time product lifecycle management, quality management, and preventative maintenance.
- Reduced costs: events of interest are streamed to subscribing applications as they occur; non-relevant events or changes to data are not streamed.
- Increased agility: ability to quickly and easily add or remove technologies and capabilities to the system without disrupting it.
