Traditional factories have long been an information silo with fewer cybersecurity concerns than enterprise networks, which typically have numerous external access points. Nowadays, smart factories involve mass-customization and cloud services, which requires IT and OT to be integrated by connections to sensors, machines, and production lines. Through technology, smart factories can consolidate data, making the ICS (Industrial Control System) network in these factories more vulnerable to the external and internal threats such as hacking, malicious attacks, or even malpractice by employees.
To address these issues, the top priority when enabling cybersecurity is to allow only necessary traffic on mission-critical networks. In other words, you need to create a “clean” network environment to protect smart machines, production lines and ultimately your entire factory. This level of protection is achieved with industrial firewalls and other industrial networking devices that comply with the IEC 62443 industrial security standard. IEC 62443 defines guidelines for different parts of a network and those who perform different responsibilities on the network.

 | Simplifying Collaboration between Machines and Operators Even though most factories would like to be fully automated, the initial financial investment often means it is not feasible. Instead, most factories adopt semi-automation, whereby humans make the decisions and the repetitive, high-risk work is performed by machines. This working model improves efficiency and reduces risks. Read on to discover how Moxa’s solution helped a factory take their first step towards automation. |
 | Key Considerations for Designing Industrial IoT Networks In the era of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), industries now have more opportunities to become more productive, more efficient, and more dynamic. However, many applications still have to overcome several networking challenges before they can really reap the benefits of the IIoT. A successful IIoT strategy is driven by a number of key factors related to connectivity. We take an in-depth look at three of these key points. |
As more Industrial Control Networks become connected to enterprise networks and even the Internet, security continues to be a rising concern. These converged IT/OT networks introduce security vulnerabilities and challenges that operations managers are still learning to deal with. In this webinar, we share the most common cybersecurity issues with IT/OT networks, and the practical tips and best practices that have been developed to counter them.
In this webinar you will learn:
• Where the biggest security gaps and vulnerabilities are.
• Which emerging cybersecurity industry standards to watch for.
• How security zones and conduits keep you safe.
• Common weaknesses and easy fixes.

 | How to Choose an IIoT Edge Gateway Many options and factors need to be considered when you are looking for a solution to connect industrial operations to the cloud. Selecting the right Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) edge gateway will allow you to collect, connect, and analyze your field data in a quick, safe, and secure way. We discuss the benefits of IIoT edge gateways and how to choose the most suitable IIoT edge gateway for your IIoT application. |
 | Speed Up SCADA with 10X Faster Modbus Data Acquisition Large-scale networks are constantly under pressure to perform at their maximum potential. Several factors can hamper a SCADA system’s performance, such as scan times, protocol conversions between serial-based and Ethernet-based devices, and the accuracy of serial data acquisition. We discuss how you can speed up your application's SCADA performance with Modbus data acquisition that is ten times faster than traditional methods. |
Site conditions play a major role when it comes to selecting the right equipment for remote surveillance systems. Installing network equipment for remote applications often requires rugged equipment, built to withstand environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference, high vibration, or even hazardous gasses.

For machine builders and automation engineers, being able to monitor their Ethernet switches from a SCADA/HMI gives them a great overall view of their control systems, and the ability to react in time to minimize system downtime. In addition, the most common concern related to deploying managed switches is operational complexity, including both setup and subsequent management. Moxa’s super-slim SDS-3008 smart switch is designed to meet these challenges. With its simplified protocol configuration, flexible mounting design, easy-to-use interface, and slim form factor, the SDS-3008 smart switch is the perfect fit for control cabinets in any smart manufacturing application.
Common Challenges for Ethernet Switch Deployment
Cost IssueFor applications that require only basic monitoring and control functions, it’s not economical for engineers to choose expensive managed switches, which often support too many unneeded functions.
|
Space LimitationsEngineers work with different types of control cabinets, and each one has space or installation limitations.
|
Complex ConfigurationIT-oriented user interfaces, which are often very complicated and come with a steep learning curve for IA engineers, make it harder to update configurations and handle basic troubleshooting tasks.
|
 | In the industrial automation world, business owners who follow the IIoT trend are able to optimize operational efficiency and maximize profits. In order to achieve this, one of the main goals that must be accomplished is to ensure reliable connectivity between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Moxa offers comprehensive industrial edgeto-cloud connectivity solutions that accelerate convergence of the OT and IT worlds and allow you to make your IIoT dream a reality. |
