Top Use Cases for Smart Manufacturing Organizations
.avif)
Optimized for robotics & machinery operations
Even the smallest network or sensor anomalies—such as latency, packet loss, or data errors—can snowball into costly downtime for robotics, CNC machines, and other connected equipment.
- Catchpoint IPM tracks protocols (TCP/IP, MQTT), cloud endpoints, and connected robotic arms in real time to spot issues before they cause downtime—empowering proactive maintenance and seamless machine operations.
- Impact: Avoid costly, unscheduled downtime, extend equipment lifespan, and maintain consistent production output.
Unified network visibility for distributed manufacturing operations
With infrastructures spread across edge gateways, remote workcells, and international branches, even minor connectivity issues can stall production or analytics.
- IPM continuously monitors bandwidth, connectivity, and application responsiveness across devices, datacenters, and cloud platforms — detecting failures in VPNs, SD-WAN, or edge protocol handoffs before they disrupt operations.
- Impact: Ensure resilient connectivity, streamline inter-facility coordination, and safeguard uptime across distributed manufacturing networks.
Real-time production line optimization
Production throughput depends on seamless communication between controllers, sensors, and actuators. Bottlenecks in M2M communication can lead to reduced output and defects.
- IPM monitors message flows, latency, and congestion across OPC-UA, Modbus, REST APIs, and other protocols — pinpointing network or configuration issues instantly.
- Impact: Optimize production speed, minimize product defects, and maximize output consistency.
Digital twin & remote asset monitoring
Digital twin platforms depend on accurate, real-time IoT data to simulate operations and predict performance. Any latency or data loss can compromise models.
- IPM ensures reliable data flows between devices, message brokers, and cloud APIs (AWS IoT Core, Azure Digital Twin), flagging performance degradation before it skews results.
- Impact: Guarantee trustworthy simulations, support predictive maintenance, and enable more effective remote asset monitoring.
Supply chain & inventory traceability
Smart factories require real-time supply chain visibility to avoid logistics delays and stockouts. Connectivity disruptions can stall inventory systems and shipments.
- IPM monitors GPS, RFID, cloud tracking, EDI, and ERP integrations end-to-end —identifying failures or slow updates before they disrupt just-in-time operations.
- Impact: Maintain lean, efficient supply chains and ensure uninterrupted flow of parts and products.

Smart Manufacturing FAQs
Internet Performance Monitoring (IPM) provides deep visibility into every aspect of the Internet that impacts your business. It is crucial in manufacturing as the Internet is the new enterprise network, and it helps detect issues before they disrupt production lines, supply chains, or customer experiences.
By monitoring protocols, endpoints, and connected devices in real time, IPM spots anomalies, such as latency, packet loss, or faulty sensor data, that often precede equipment failures. This enables proactive maintenance, avoiding costly unplanned downtime.
Yes. IPM continuously tracks connectivity between edge gateways, datacenters, and cloud services worldwide. It ensures resilient, consistent performance across remote factories, global suppliers, and international production lines.
Digital twins rely on accurate, real-time IoT data. IPM ensures reliable data flow from devices to platforms like AWS IoT Core and Azure Digital Twin, preventing delays or data loss that could compromise simulations and predictive analytics.
The platform monitors GPS, RFID, ERP, and cloud logistics integrations end-to-end, identifying disruptions before they affect just-in-time supply chains. Manufacturers gain real-time visibility, ensuring smooth inventory flow and efficient distribution.
Absolutely. IPM is built for large, complex ecosystems, providing real-time monitoring across geographies, facilities, and digital touchpoints. It scales with business needs, ensuring resilience everywhere.
IPM complements, rather than replaces, APM, NPM, or observability solutions. It provides an external, “outside-in” perspective — monitoring the actual digital experience across networks, cloud services, and IoT devices — so IT teams see issues traditional tools often miss.
Reducing unplanned downtime delivers the fastest payback, as avoiding even a few hours of halted production can offset investment costs many times over. Manufacturers also see long-term ROI through improved supply chain visibility, higher product quality, and more efficient resource use.
No. It’s designed for scalability and ease of rollout. Agents can be deployed across geographies and facilities quickly, and once active, they provide unified visibility across production systems, supply chains, and employee-facing apps.
