Connected Manufacturing

Modern manufacturing is complex, highly automated and driven by customer demands for speed, quality and customization. Data from machines and devices must be leveraged, making connected, secure and intelligent operations essential.

Manufacturing technology solutions enable connected manufacturing, strengthening competitiveness in today’s rapidly evolving manufacturing industry. Securely connecting people, machines, objects and processes delivers full visibility and enables real-time, data-driven production, driving faster decisions, increased agility and greater resilience.

Manufacturing powered by future-proof technology solutions

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise enables secure connected manufacturing through advanced networks, communications and cloud solutions focused on three key areas:

Autonomous Production
