Industry RequirementsDriven by the deep integration of "smart manufacturing" and the Industrial Internet, the manufacturing sector is rapidly advancing toward digitalization, networking, and intelligent transformation. Across discrete manufacturing (e.g., automotive, electronics) and process manufacturing (e.g., tobacco, chemicals), as well as from traditional to high-tech fields (e.g., semiconductors, 5G equipment), manufacturers increasingly demand higher stability, security, and efficiency in network resource management.Key challenges include:
With the rapid growth of Industrial IoT (IIoT) devices, AGV robots, and sensors, traditional IP allocation methods have become inefficient, often leading to address conflicts and resource waste — ultimately impacting production line continuity.
Production control systems such as MES and SCADA rely on low-latency, highly available network services. Slow DNS responses or DHCP failures in traditional architectures can lead to production interruptions or data loss.
In multi-factory and multi-branch environments, network resources are often fragmented and lack centralized scheduling, resulting in low efficiency in cross-regional data synchronization and collaborative manufacturing.
With the increasing openness and interconnectivity of industrial networks, DNS hijacking and DDoS attacks pose a direct threat to production continuity. Traditional protection mechanisms are insufficient to counter modern network attacks and security risks.
Manual IP address configuration and decentralized DNS management lead to high operational complexity and limited scalability, making it difficult to support rapid deployment of emerging technologies such as 5G private networks and edge computing.
Solution BriefTailored for the manufacturing industry, this solution is built around the principles of “High Reliability, Strong Security, and Intelligent Collaboration.” It establishes a DDI service framework covering production networks, office networks, and edge nodes, empowering manufacturing enterprises to achieve the following goals:
Through a redundant DNS and DHCP architecture, the system ensures 7*24 uninterrupted operation of production environments, enabling millisecond-level failover in case of single-point failures and meeting industrial-grade SLA requirements.
By integrating DNS, DHCP, and IPAM functions, the solution enables automated IP address allocation and conflict detection across the entire plant. It supports dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 management, ensuring smooth scalability for future network expansion.
Leveraging intelligent DNS resolution policies, the system dynamically optimizes data transmission paths across factories, clouds, and edges, reducing industrial data latency and improving collaborative manufacturing efficiency.
Incorporating DNSSEC validation, threat intelligence integration, and malicious domain blocking, it builds a dual-layer security defense for both production and office networks, effectively countering industrial-grade cyberattacks.
Featuring a scalable and flexible architecture, the solution seamlessly integrates with 5G private networks and edge computing nodes, providing a high-performance networking foundation for scenarios such as digital twins and AI-based quality inspection.
Use Cases
Provides access control for industrial robots, AGV vehicles, and other devices through DHCP fingerprint recognition, automatically isolating unauthorized terminals. With high-availability DHCP clustering and policy linkage, the solution improves device onboarding efficiency and supports the construction of “lights-out factories.”
In cross-regional collaboration scenarios, intelligent DNS resolution policies dynamically sense link quality and data center load conditions, routing production data requests to the nearest or optimal node. This reduces inter-regional transmission latency and enhances supply chain collaboration efficiency.
Deploys a DNS security gateway at the industrial internet entry point to intercept malicious domain requests and DDoS traffic in real time. By encrypting DNS responses with DNSSEC, it prevents production data from being tampered with or stolen during transmission, complying with the Industrial Internet Security Protection Guidelines.
For manufacturing scenarios such as smartphones and smart home devices, a unified IPAM platform enables automated IP resource allocation and conflict detection across the supply chain, reducing manual intervention and improving overall responsiveness and operational efficiency.
Key BenefitsIntelligent DNS resolution and high-availability architecture reduce response times for critical business systems to milliseconds, minimizing production line interruptions caused by network latency and improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
A multilayer defense system blocks over 99% of malicious traffic, mitigating the risk of production downtime caused by DNS attacks and safeguarding industrial data assets and intellectual property.
Automated management tools minimize manual IP configuration, while a unified platform enables centralized monitoring of resources across multiple factories, allowing IT teams to focus on core business innovation.
The elastic architecture supports emerging technologies such as 5G-powered industrial internet and digital twins, providing a forward-looking foundation for smart manufacturing upgrades.
Fully aligned with Industrial Control System Information Security Protection Standards, the solution is compatible with domestic software and hardware ecosystems, reducing supply chain dependency risks and supporting localization-driven transformation.
