Case Study: AGC Inc. achieves automated, seamless Wi‑Fi and lower network management costs with Allied Telesis

AGC Inc. boosts production uptime across 3 buildings with Allied Telesis

AGC Inc., a global glass manufacturer, faced challenges managing its complex and fragmented production network at its Sagamihara plant in Japan. The existing system was difficult to manage effectively and prevented the company from harnessing IoT and big data. To achieve comprehensive network management and utilize crucial production data, AGC Inc. selected vendor Allied Telesis for its Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) and Allied Wireless Connect (AWC) solutions.

Allied Telesis implemented a new network automated by its AMF technology and featuring its reliable AWC Wi-Fi. This provided automatic recovery from failures and seamless wireless connectivity for staff and handheld devices on the production line. The solution resulted in a highly reliable network, significantly reduced IT administration, and the new ability to capture real-time data. This improved operational efficiency, maximized production uptime, and reduced wastage for AGC Inc.
