With the adoption of Industry 4.0 technology on the rise, more manufacturers are now syncing digital twins between their IT and OT systems. This integration allows organizations to create real-time simulations of their production environments by connecting live data from OT devices to IT-based platforms. Through this process, adjustments can be tested without disrupting operations.
Integrating High-Speed 5G and Time-Sensitive Networking
The combination of private 5G and TSN is reshaping how factories manage critical processes. This pairing offers wireless flexibility while meeting the high performance standards of industrial automation.
Tim Mirth, a senior specialist solution architect at Red Hat, highlights the cost and complexity associated with wiring in OT environments. The introduction of private 5G provides a more reliable wireless option in areas with heavy interference, complemented by TSN’s sub-millisecond precision across connected devices.
