When it comes to optimizing Wi-Fi networks, IT teams have their work cut out for them. A single network can consist of hundreds or thousands of devices in a manufacturing facility, all of which must be monitored in real time for true, assured optimization. This is a difficult, if not impossible, task for humans — and one that grows exponentially more difficult for teams responsible for multiple facilities. This is because real-time optimization depends on the ability to analyze thousands of data packets a second in order to pinpoint existing or possible issues proactively and resolve them before critical business processes are affected.
Since networks have evolved into vast ecosystems, the best and most cost-effective way to scale manufacturers' IT departments and achieve this real-time optimization is with the use of Wi-Fi automation platforms.
