Cisco- IoT: Reimagine Smart with Cisco’s IoT

In the fast-running world, it is challenging to deploy IoT on a large scale. It necessitates configuring and managing many assets and devices dealing with complex operational and industrial needs. Furthermore, it provides possible blind spots, posing a security concern. Here, Cisco challenges all the obstacles and creates a 5G white paper with the fastest framework. Cisco IoT is an end-to-end IoT framework and offers the most secure and trustworthy IoT portfolio available. They deliver rock-solid infrastructure, unmatched visibility, control, and trusted knowledge using industry-leading networking and security capabilities. Cisco’s IoT and transformative use cases offer remote monitoring, asset tracking, worker safety, connected car, fleet management, and predictive maintenance. CEO Chuck Robbins said, “I believe we’re at a pivotal moment in our company’s history as we have a massive opportunity to transform what has been the traditional office and define the future of hybrid work.”

With several other services and solutions, Cisco emerges as a bridge between IT and OT to make better-informed decisions. They securely connect assets, applications, and data in real-time to apply transformative business changes in carpeted and non-carpeted spaces. Cisco ranked first in industrial ethernet switches, 2018. Their ability to provide cybersecurity to safeguard the IoT implementation and the business, gain better visibility and control throughout the network is commendable. Cisco’s IoT is a centralized network, application, and data management strategy with a network-integrated method for better deployment. They have implemented other tools like edge computing, data control, and exchange for better management of IoT. Cisco also created a wireless strategy for IoT in the age of Wi-Fi 6 & 5G. Robbins added, “We have an opportunity to build a secure, intelligent platform that solves some of the world’s most significant problems at scale. That’s what’s possible with hundreds of billions of connections and the capabilities that we can deliver together.”

Organizations expanded IoT projects while enhancing the reliability of their existing facilities with the reliable connection of Cisco. Integrated security provides visibility and control, containing risks, simplifying compliance, and consistently enforcing rules. Enterprises linked current and new IoT applications swiftly with the support of OT and IT standards. Cisco’s edge intelligence determines who has access to the data and where it travels by understanding and controlling. They helped in improving several company’s competitiveness by gaining intelligent insights from linked assets.  To satisfy the demands of operations and IT, Cisco standardized transportation and industrial network designs that are tested and certified. They provided the core networking framework to reduce risk and effectively deployed today’s leading automation systems and Industrial IoT applications.

In the recent case study, Boliden, a Swedish mining firm, uses Cisco IoT industrial networking technologies with Sandvik automation equipment and software to automate and improve its operations. Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology is the sub-division of the company, Boliden. It is a global leader in the mining and construction sectors, providing equipment, tools, service, and technological solutions. The applications are rock drilling, rock cutting, crushing, and screening, loading and hauling, tunneling, mining, breaching, and demolition.

Another successful venture, Cisco industrial IoT routers, offered Germany-based utility Innogy link equipment to a secure, flexible, and scalable network, even in remote places. This resulted in improved greenhouse emissions levels and a steady supply of energy.

Every year, 130,000 ships pass through Europe’s busiest port, which handles millions of tons of goods. Cisco IoT and security solutions assist the port assure safe passage and cargo movement, putting it on the map as one of the smartest ports in the world. With Cisco’s webcast and driving results in the industry, they have embarked on bringing in new opportunities with technology. Through digital transformation, Cisco empowers social change, and in the long run, they wish to have a better future in automation with Cisco Umbrella and help businesses grow.
