A smart manufacturing plant needs a high-performance, industrial-grade network

Heavy process manufacturing like chemical, refineries, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper is a tough business. These sprawling industrial plants operate complex product processes running continuously 24/7. Often they involve harsh environments and are in remote locations. It’s an industry where up-time, safety and security are paramount.

This highly-competitive industry faces many challenges with customer demands for shorter production cycles and new product innovation while, at the same time, improving operational efficiency and productivity, and meeting workers health and safety requirements.

To meet these challenges, process manufacturers are automating and digitalizing their plants and processes. Nokia assists process manufacturers in their digital transformation journey by providing advanced data communication and networking solutions to support their business and mission critical plant operations.
