提高新工业供应中心产能的途径

财富 500 强工业供应公司

一家财富 500 强工业供应公司在开设一个新的配送中心时，每天都会遇到多次持续的网络故障。这种停机时间停止了自动化并迫使员工手动完成订单，最终减慢了交付速度，并使客户和供应商关系紧张。收入下降，未来销售受到影响。所有这一切都是在新中心仅以 10-20% 的产能运行的时候。

百通进行了深入的网络评估，评估了现有网络的硬件、配置、备份系统、可扩展性和安全状况。在评估之后，Belden 发现了多个可能导致网络故障的问题，包括缺乏设备分段、网络主干上的开关速度较慢、硬件过时、缺乏安全认证、缺乏主动系统问题检测的可见性以及缺乏一致和可靠的协议。

• The implementation of Belden's recommendations led to a significant improvement in the company's network performance. The segmentation of the network into smaller, more manageable subnets improved overall network performance, limited unnecessary traffic, improved security posture, and contained outages to single network segments. The implementation of proactive management contributed to effective network administration, operation, security, and maintenance. The implementation of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) optimized network performance between the devices that require real-time motion control. Proper cable lengths and protection from strain and interference limited damage to cabling over time and prevented service degradation due to cable failures. With a proper network design and consistent configuration settings, the site was able to eliminate traffic floods to unrelated sections of the network. Overall, the company was able to mitigate the center’s downtime and network failure issues, and safely ramp up to 100% capacity without further harming customer confidence and supplier relationships.

• Reduction in network failures
• Increase in operational capacity from 10-20% to 100%
• Improvement in delivery times
