Industrial Ethernet Vertical Markets
 
The oil and gas industry plays a crucial role in fueling the global economy that has driven the industry's need to boost overall productivity by constructing or upgrading its automation system. The oil and gas industry now faces a variety of challenges such as operational efficiency, future integration flexibility, production availability, process reliability, and safety.
  
 
The key responsibility of power utilities is to offer uninterrupted and reliable electric power to the public, even in harsh environmental conditions. Power automation systems require integrated communications in order to manage the various processes. Interoperability, reliability, and environmental suitability are three key issues that utilities must deal with.
  
  In the world of mass production, increasing productivity is an ongoing goal. Major decisions are influenced by production yields, total costs, and the flow of information. As Ethernet technology is deployed from the office to the factory floor, even higher levels of efficiency and productivity are expected.  
  The plant can utilize a combination of managed and unmanaged switches for direct connection between PLCs, HMIs, and peripheral devices in multiple buildings. Fiber is required in many areas because it is easier to deploy for longer distances throughout the facility.  
  The ship classification system offered by DNV is designed to safeguard life and property in maritime environments. Moxa’s DNV certified Ethernet Switches entail verification of a set of requirements during the design, construction, and operation of devices used on ships and offshore units.  
  As transportation systems everywhere are updated and overhauled, planners will turn to Industrial Ethernet as the backbone of the new infrastructure. Establishing an advanced, intelligent transportation system involves integrating data, video, and voice over IP networks to set up a surveillance management system.
