Production lines need a cloud connection that never wobbles
A manufacturer is moving factory analytics to Azure, but the production lines can't tolerate the ups and downs of an internet VPN. The team needs a steady connection with predictable response times, a backup route in case one path fails, and a single hub for all the sites — without building a separate network for each plant.
Trigger — OT and IT teams are merging the project; the production uptime commitment cannot slip.
Good outcome — The factories run on a dedicated, low-latency line to Azure with a VPN backup. One hub serves every site, and there's a way to manage and secure the plant-floor equipment from the cloud.
