Explore Cisco's latest Industrial IoT solutions in this 25-minute conference presentation that examines how network architecture is evolving to meet the demands of modern industrial environments. Learn about Cisco's two-decade journey in the industrial space and their position as the largest vendor in this market, driven by increasing IT involvement in operational technology (OT) environments for cybersecurity and AI readiness. Discover how 48% of customers expect generative AI to significantly impact their industrial environments, creating new use cases including machine vision, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and edge-to-cloud integrations that directly affect network demands. Understand the conflicting network requirements emerging from evolving industrial applications, such as machine vision systems moving toward networked AI-driven models that consume more PoE ports and require 10-gigabit uplinks, alongside virtual PLCs that demand deterministic, ultra-low latency control traffic. Examine Cisco's response through their new portfolio of industrial switches, including the IE 3500 switch with enhanced PoE budgets, 2.5-gigabit downlinks, three 10-gigabit uplinks, and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) frame preemption for prioritizing latency-sensitive control traffic. Investigate Cisco's unified wireless approach that integrates Wi-Fi and ultra-reliable wireless backhaul technologies into single access points, supporting Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6E, and industrial portfolios for seamless roaming and near-zero packet loss in critical applications like automated guided vehicles. Review the comprehensive Industrial IoT solutions featuring 19 new switch SKUs, including IP67-rated models and rack mount switches, all moving toward unified management via the Meraki dashboard with AI-enhanced security for automated asset grouping and segmentation in flat industrial networks.
