Was the time when manufacturers simply needed to be experts in the technicalities and marketing of their trades. But now, computing in some form or other – from the firmware in a machine tool right up to the business ERP software – is integral to their success. However, between the computing devices that increasingly drive manufacturing faster are networks that carry the data in whatever form – and advances here are also fast-moving. Moore’s law states that processor speeds double every 18 months. There is no such law for bandwidth but some have estimated carrying capacities grow by around 50% annually, while in a decade the cost of bandwidth has decreased by a factor of 10.
