Industrial networking refers to the communication systems used in manufacturing and production environments. It connects various devices, such as sensors, machines, and computers, allowing them to share data and work together efficiently. This networking is crucial for monitoring processes, controlling equipment, and improving overall productivity. These networks often utilize specific protocols and standards, such as Ethernet, Modbus, or PROFIBUS, to ensure reliable communication. By integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, industrial networking enables real-time data analysis and remote management, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency in industries like automotive, pharmaceuticals, and energy.
