The global industrial network solutions market size is predicted to reach USD 25.40 billion in 2024 and USD 65.88 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 21% during the forecast period.
The backbone of any automation system architecture, an industrial network solution provides a powerful means of data exchange, control, and flexibility to connect to various devices. Unlike traditional communication networks, these solutions require wired and wireless network systems and are used in product distribution, technical support, and IT services. An industrial network solution is an essential part of any automation system architecture, as it is committed to providing efficient means of data exchange and controllability and data flexibility to connect multiple devices. In general, communication networks are used to allow data communication between computers and other devices. These networks are used to distribute various products and provide technical support, which must be wired and wireless network systems. The industrial ecosystem is moving away from fieldbus technologies based on proprietary networks to communication protocols over standard networks such as Ethernet, 802.11 Wi-Fi, and the IP wallet protocols (for example, TCP and UDP). This focus on open network standards is a fundamental aspect for the devices that make up the industrial ecosystem to communicate through converged public networks, which greatly improves the accessibility of data and information.
The need for state-of-the-art industrial networks has not only led to the use of networks. Still, the use of network services and an increased need for support drive the global market for industrial network solutions.
Manufacturing is subject to improvement and optimization programs throughout the life cycle of the products manufactured. The tendency is that process improvements need to be made quite frequently and almost continuously in some cases. More and more IIoT sensors are added to existing operations for more efficient process improvement. For example, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has urged manufacturers to take a risk-based approach to meeting regulatory and product quality requirements through drug screening technology—process (PAT). A fundamental element of PAT is the continuous online monitoring of the process dedicated to transforming raw materials into finished products. This monitoring technique requires additional instruments and sensors for the process, and the new sensors will require industrial networks to communicate with the control systems.
In today's digital manufacturing environments, there are too many sensors and devices and too much data to rely on manual processes. There is a growing need for manufacturing organizations to automate the monitoring of plant-wide systems and their responses to abnormal conditions, such as equipment showing signs of stress. As most industrial operations take place over a long period, sensors must be adapted to existing machines, which can be done efficiently with wireless communication technologies.
Mass customization in manufacturing has caused a radical change in assembly plants. Modern assembly lines and logistics must be agile and flexible to handle required product variability without compromising quality. To support flexible manufacturing, the network must be able to dynamically self-configure. Machine maintenance should be performed during scheduled downtime to maintain the highest production level in manufacturing. This is effective when machines can predict when and where failures are about to occur and then be repaired. This collected data must be communicated over several industrial networks for analysis purposes to be used for machine learning and driving business intelligence.
In June 2020, Veracity Industrial Networks, developer of Industrial Software Defined Network (SDN) technology for operational networks, announced a new round of seed funding, supported by existing investors Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) and Option3Ventures, along with the latest strategy of DYNICS, Inc. and Interstates, Inc.
