CASwell Embraces The Future With Smart Factory Powered By Private 5G Networks

NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan - June 13, 2023 - PRLog -- The dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has ushered in an era of innovation and technological advancement, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the realm of manufacturing. Smart factories, powered by cutting-edge technologies, have become the backbone of efficient and agile production systems. Among these advancements, the integration of private 5G networks stands out as a game-changer, revolutionizing the way computing systems are manufactured. However, those networks also come with security risks that need to be addressed beforehand. CASwell and HawkeyeTech are setting an example by running their own smart factories using private 5G networks, secured by PacketX.

Enhanced Connectivity and Efficiency

Private 5G networks offer unparalleled connectivity, providing reliable and ultra-fast data transfer rates within the smart factory ecosystem. Compared to local Wi-Fi, which is susceptible to congestion and interference, private 5G networks ensure low latency and high bandwidth, facilitating seamless communication between various computer systems. This enhanced connectivity paves the way for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and streamlined automation, ultimately boosting production efficiency and reducing downtime.

Improved Reliability and Scalability

By leveraging private 5G networks, CASwell's and HawkeyeTech's smart factories enjoy improved reliability and scalability. Unlike local Wi-Fi, which may experience coverage gaps or connectivity issues in certain areas, private 5G networks provide widespread and consistent coverage across the factory floor. This enables CASwell and HawkeyeTech to deploy a vast array of connected devices and sensors, empowering them to gather valuable data and optimize processes with precision.

Cybersecurity Challenges and Solution by PacketX

While the advantages of private 5G networks are undeniable, their implementation also brings forth cybersecurity challenges that must be addressed. As the number of connected devices increases, so does the attack surface for potential cyber threats. Smart factories need to implement robust security measures, including encryption protocols, authentication mechanisms, and intrusion detection systems, to safeguard their networks from unauthorized access and data breaches.

To counter any threats, CASwell and HawkeyeTech turned to PacketX and its automated defense mechanism for industrial control network security to automatically guard the operation of the factory production line to maintain stable production capacity. Using the security company's solutions, digitized information is communicated with the manufacturing execution system through the IP network and instructions are issued uniformly through the factory control center, which can quickly switch production lines and increase production capacity. This increases the factories' production flexibility.
