Buying trigger
Plant expansion, acquisition, remote-access risk, or production-continuity reviews require a common model without flattening IT and OT boundaries.
21Packets for manufacturing
Keep connected production moving across every plant
Unify factories, industrial edge systems, enterprise applications, and cloud environments through resilient, segmented, and continuously governed connectivity.
Operational use cases
Connect production without flattening OT boundaries.
Start with one production dependency, then define its participating plant systems, approved engineering access, alternate paths, and local edge workloads.
Critical workflow
Preserve approved production services and engineering access across plants while keeping line-control, supplier, enterprise, and cloud zones explicit.
Production-line continuity
Transition protected traffic away from degraded paths before underlay issues become application downtime.
View BriefingConnected factory segmentation
Apply least-privilege policy across industrial automation and control system security zones and conduits.
View BriefingMachine vision at the edge
Support latency-sensitive optical inspection and other approved inference near production equipment.
View BriefingMulti-plant connectivity
Connect factories, data centers, cloud environments, and partner locations through flexible vWAN topologies.

A governed production path across plants and partners
Modern production depends on interconnected IT, OT, cloud, supplier, and edge workloads. 21Packets provides one operating model for connectivity, protected service execution, telemetry, and local intelligence across plants and production systems.
- Keep production cells and plant services in explicit trust zones
- Constrain supplier and engineering access to approved relationships
- Preserve production services across degraded inter-plant or cloud paths
Multi-plant continuity with controlled engineering access
Production zones remain segmented while approved services and supplier access follow policy-bound paths.
Operating model
Govern access and continuity plant by plant.
01
Zone
Bind production cells, plant applications, engineering users, suppliers, and cloud workloads to explicit identities.
02
Authorize
Permit only the service relationships required for production, support, and approved data flows.
03
Preserve
Transition protected production traffic across healthy paths when inter-plant or cloud transport degrades.
04
Localize
Place selected machine vision and operational services close to production data under governed policy.
Evaluation priorities
Standardization without production disruption.
Continuous path evaluation
Continuously evaluate transport quality and transition traffic across healthy, policy-approved routes.
Controlled external access
Limit supplier and engineering communication to approved services and production zones.
One governed lifecycle
Onboard, validate, admit, scale, re-attest, replace, retire, and revoke Endlets through EdgeControl.
Architecture review
Questions to bring into the evaluation.
Can plants use different underlays and existing routing environments?
Yes. The Route Ledger can work with existing customer and cloud routing environments while adding authoritative policy and optimization for the 21Packets fabric.
How is supplier or engineering access constrained?
Identity-centric policy defines the specific services, workloads, and production zones an approved participant may reach.
What happens to a production service when a WAN path degrades?
Slip-Routing evaluates transport health and can transition traffic to a healthy, policy-approved path while DEFT preserves the logical service relationship.
Can machine vision remain close to production data?
Eligible inference can run as a governed Endlet capability with placement, locality, latency, sovereignty, capacity, and execution policies.
Review a production dependency
Model one plant, one production dependency, and one remote-access workflow.
Bring the participating production zones, approved users, service paths, and local workloads. We’ll map segmentation, continuity, and edge execution to the workflow.
