SD-WAN Edge Computing in Manufacturing

Edge Computing In Manufacturing
Corporation J - Leading U.S.-Funded Pharmaceutical Company

Company J is a US-funded international biopharmaceutical industry leader that
is building a global system for new drug R&D and manufacturing services. By
empowering global pharmaceutical, biotechnological and medical device
companies, Company J expands its services in fields such as chemical drug R&D
and manufacturing, medical device testing. With a business platform for R&D
innovation projects around the world, it shares industry databases with many
research institutions and universities to build a comprehensive data warehouse
of case studies and test samples.

Company J is currently seeking to integrate its production processes with
digital transformation practices, and after introducing sd wan pro services and
technologies such as Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud and big data
analytics, to collect a large amount of data for the performance of machine
learning and artificial intelligence algorithms in fault prediction, quality
assurance, etc. The basis for the convergence of these SD-WAN edge computing
technologies is connectivity. Highly secure, flexible and cost-effective
intelligent connectivity SD-WAN edge computing is critical, especially the
reconfiguration of connectivity between heterogeneous cloud platforms. Here we
recommend smart factory edge computing from GoSD-WAN.

OSDWAN's Innovation in SD WAN in Manufacturing

Multi-cloud Interconnection
New edge computing use cases manufacturing is characterized by diversified
ecosystem and globalization. The industrial links become more refined, and
different ecosystem partners from upstream and downstream links cooperate to
achieve the simple goal of reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and balancing
supply and demand. Globalization lies in pursuing higher price-performance
ratio. To fulfil above two demands, enterprises in the wave of digital
transformation with data as the carrier, become more relying on cloud computing
and interworking of various kind of cloud products on even different multi
cloud connectivity platform across a broader geographical area.

Low-latency, Light-load Inter-cloud Routing
Public clouds usually have better multi-line Internet egress and larger
bandwidth, but it is difficult for cloud providers to guarantee bandwidth SLA
for a single tenant. Multiple clouds, especially intercontinental public
clouds, can only be synchronized through Direct Cloud Connection based on
international lines. But adding hard links is not the most cost-efficient
solution for new SD-WAN manufacturing customers. The SD-WAN can accelerate
synchronization between heterogeneous public clouds with low-latency, light-
load inter-cloud routing without involving dedicated lines, and such routing
can be deployed on-demand and on a pay-as-you-go basis.


Software-defined Security
Systems of different enterprises, although in a common ecosystem, have their
own security policies, asset management, and logs to guide task scheduling,
decision-making, and distributing instructions. The benefits of digitization
and automation are self-evident. However, new SD-WAN manufacturing enterprises
also need system security protection measures based on security domain.
Frequent manual adjustments of device policies for various access requests
bring huge workload to the security management teams. A default feature of SD-
WAN software-defined security is to describe security policies in the business
language based on the business label, with physical device operations and
translation done by the intermediate controller, achieving refined security
management in a secure and cost-efficient way.

Edge Computing
As edge computing reduces network latency, container facilities such as small
data centers deployed close to operational sites such as workshops, cab
effectively avoid risks resulted from decision latency. In addition to cost
reduction in hardware and infrastructure, the value of SD-WAN lies in high-
frequency detection of network performance and path mapping to enhance latency
awareness. When the network become worse, certain application information is
processed on-site rather than being sent to the data center or the cloud via
long path, making the data processing more responsive.

Edge Computing Manufacturing Technical Design Highlights
Heterogeneous Cloud Gateway
uCPE is directly generated inside different public cloud VPCs and managed by
managed SD-WAN network at the edge of uCPE in the cloud. Transmission
performance data of different customer interfaces is mapped in the customer’s
visual network management background to provide latency, packet loss, jitter,
and application analysis reports periodically.

Cross-region Inter-cloud Lateral (east-west) Routing Optimization
Without building dedicated lines, the original latency of hundreds of
milliseconds is reduced to tens of milliseconds, thereby expanding the
transmission capacity, which was previously a bottleneck, by several times.

High Redundancy Design
With end-to-end redundancy design of the whole network, when the latency index
deteriorates, services are automatically switches to a backup path to ensure
high availability of the production network.
