Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series Switches vs. Hitachi Lumada

In areas with harsh temperatures like freezers they are an awesome fit, as I mentioned in the first part of this review. I would not recommend this switch in an area where it may be exposed to other elements like water. For example, in a washdown area like in our food production plants, we are constantly hosing down / steaming the area to sanitize. The only way I would recommend it in an area like that is if it is physically located inside of some sort of enclosure, but in that case you might as well purchase a less expensive non-ruggedized switch and do the same.

Organizations may use sensors like RFID and break beams to automatically monitor components as they travel through the assembly. Real-time data from IoT may help managers and supervisors monitor the performance of their teams. With this level of transparency, bottlenecks can be identified, problems can be pinpointed, and progress can be made more quickly.
