CISCO Meraki An Intelligent Platform Resilient Instructions

Embrace change and accelerate your  digitisation efforts

Manufacturing has faced massive disruption in recent years, with shocks to supply chains, revenues, and hiring.
Modernising operations for Industry 4.0 and beyond to reduce downtime, streamline workflows, and become more sustainable is key to staying agile in an ever-changing world.

In fact, 93% of manufacturing and supply chain professionals plan to focus on resilience of their supply chain, while 90% plan to invest in talent for digitisation.

The ability to evolve with speed, security, and scale is the foundation for succeeding in tomorrow’s marketplace. How manufacturers adapt—and how quickly—will set them apart from their competitors.

An intuitive, intelligent, innovative platform

Cisco Meraki offers a secure, cloud-based IT platform designed to future-proof your digital transformation.

Our extensible technology helps manufacturing organisations simplify network operations, extend beyond Industry 4.0 standards, and easily create and unify secure IT experiences.

The Meraki platform enables manufacturers to:

Reduce complexity

Make complex IT provisioning and monitoring a thing of the past. Cloud management allows scalability to thousands of locations for true end-to-end visibility with zero-touch provisioning for the entire IT infrastructure. Achieve operational savings through auto-deployment, as well as automated upgrades and patching.

Automate and modernise

Automate time-consuming, repetitive tasks like monitoring network performance and endpoints, rolling out upgrades and policies, and troubleshooting infrastructure to dramatically reduce time spent performing network changes. IT teams can also leverage modern, high-performance wireless and networking standards across multiple locations.

Unite IT and OT

Bringing together IT and OT enables factories to more easily embrace IoT technology across their entire operations. From intelligent security cameras that can identify product loss incidents to adapting manufacturing strategies based on data from production equipment, sales forecasts, product demand, and other sources, IoT can help manufacturers reduce costs and compete effectively

Secure and safeguard

As security threats grow more frequent, factories must prioritise employees’ physical safety, safeguard locations, secure data and privacy, and protect connectivity for cloud applications and network access.
