Manufacturing today has embraced automation as an integral part of its production process. Automation makes the manufacturing industry is highly dependent on the strong IT infrastructure backbone to improve efficiency and productivity.
While the automation processes use propriety software, they are also interconnected to the online world through the complex IT infrastructure, which uses various office applications and software such as procurement process, operations to SCM.
The manufacturing sector has a scattered IT network across multiple locations. This poses a major challenge to manage endpoints spread across the IT network.
