Very often, different networks deployed in a production, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or legacy protocols, are isolated and separately managed. Devices and operational data remain in silo, connectivity to internal systems for monitoring, management and data transfer is challenging. Additional personnel effort is required to control the network. 
　
Inventec thus proposed a scalable centrally managed end-to-end connectivity solution for heterogeneous CT network management. It solves the problem of fragmented networks and integrates customer’s existing systems and applications which connects, observes, centrally manages, and controls heterogeneous networks. More importantly, it is tailored for OT specific needs：

• Heterogeneous networking CT connects all machinery, moving and static equipment, safety, and portable devices to one network. Each entity, such as machinery, AGV, AMR, sensor or worker’s wearable and handheld device and AI human-machine network will be considered as an asset of the Smart Factory. 

• This holistic end-to-end IT/CT/OT connectivity solution is scalable and flexible. It can be integrated with customer legacy systems and networks.

• 5G implementation can be added for better application performance, for example for low latency or high data throughput applications such as AR Intelligent Inspection or AI PPE（Personal Protective Equipment） Detection.
