The growing prevalence of automation
in manufacturing is driving demand for
improved visualization and high fidelity
imager or sensor data for real-time
awareness. As large amounts of data need
to be transported in a rapid, robust, and
reliable manner, connectivity poses a
critical challenge in modern factories."

To meet the increasing production demands, modern
factories are looking to enhance their manufacturing
lines to be smarter and more flexible with increasing
utilization of robotics and automation. This real-
time perception entails an increasing reliance on
sensors and systems that are rife with data that need
to be shared and processed. In an ideal scenario,
everything on a factory floor is connected such that
machines are aware of their surroundings and of
each other and coordinate processes accordingly.
