Simplifying Industry 4.0 digitalization requirements

Nokia Italia

Data are the new industrial asset that will enable industrial company achieving growth, resiliency and sustainability in their competitive marketplace. Wireless Connectivity and Edge Cloud computing are prerequisite to create efficient, safe, resilient E2E supply chains. Nokia is already achieving this result with more than 500 customers.

The fourth industrial revolution is under way.
Enterprises across all industries are looking for ways to embrace data-driven operations, adopt zero-touch automation and transform the way people and machines work together.
Their goal is to digitalize their operations to make production processes safer, more productive and more sustainable.
Connectivity is the key to achieving this goal. But the wireless networks at most industrial sites weren't designed to connect all industrial devices or transform data into insight.

They also can't interface with legacy environments and enable mission-critical processes that demand pervasive broadband coverage, strong security, 24/7 availability and deterministic performance.

The path to transformation is complicated by the need to navigate a fragmented landscape of application, industrial device, connectivity and edge computing suppliers.

This can lead to longer integration times, higher costs and an unpredictable return on investment.
Nokia makes digital transformation simpler and faster with one digital platform that provides multi-technology connectivity, Industrial Edge, applications and devices.

Our platform brings you:
- Industrial-grade private LTE/4.9G or 5G connectivity that can help you digitalize your operational technology (OT) systems to make them infinitely more agile and resilient
- A complementary Wi-Fi layer that provides connectivity for IT systems and non-business-critical OT use cases
- Certified industrial devices that help improve worker communication, productivity and safety
- An on-premises edge that can support and unify your industrial OT use cases and processes
- An application ecosystem that cuts through complexity and helps accelerate your digital transformation

With this unified platform, you get a complete private wireless connectivity infrastructure that can meet the security, reliability and performance demands of your machines, people and processes.

This infrastructure can provide the deep data insights you need to support more agile and proactive operations and achieve your Industry 4.0 ambitions today and tomorrow.
