The automotive industry suffers the highest financial losses from unplanned downtime, costing $2.3 million per hour and $695 million annually per large plant, according to a 2024 Siemens study. This is 1.5 times higher than five years ago. Complex and interdependent manufacturing processes mean downtime in one area can affect the entire assembly line. Industry 4.0 has mitigated many minor downtime issues through data capture and failure prediction. Downtime can stem from IT issues, network performance bottlenecks, and dependencies between IT, WAN, and OT networks. Proactively addressing these issues is essential to ensure the reliability, functionality, and efficiency of manufacturing operations.
