Strengthening operational efficiency
Supreme, a leader in the plastics industry with over 80 years of history, faced critical challenges in its IT infrastructure. The need for enhanced uptime, scalability, and visibility drove them to seek a robust technological solution. Prior to adopting Cisco solutions, Supreme faced traditional infrastructure limitations, including network visibility and scalability issues. Optimizing these issues was crucial for their production model and global operations.
The decision to implement Cisco solutions, including Cisco Meraki wireless and switching infrastructure, Cisco Firepower 1010 NGFW, Cisco URWB, addressed these challenges comprehensively. This deployment enabled Supreme to achieve greater network visibility, facilitate seamless connectivity across plants, and ensure rapid scalability to meet growing technological business demands.
The implementation timeline was structured to minimize disruption, with key milestones including the integration of Cisco Meraki cameras for enhanced surveillance and the deployment of Cisco IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Points for robust outdoor wireless connectivity. Cisco's role extended beyond mere product delivery, providing ongoing support and expertise crucial for the successful transition to advanced networking solutions.
Business impact and future outlook
Cisco solutions have yielded significant business impact for Supreme, enhancing their competitive edge and operational resilience. By ensuring maximum uptime and connectivity across their vast network of global facilities, Supreme has bolstered production efficiency and responsiveness to market demands. The integration of Cisco Meraki cameras has not only improved security surveillance but also streamlined operational oversight, enabling proactive maintenance and risk mitigation.
Moreover, the implementation of Cisco Firepower 1010 NGFW and Cisco Meraki Wireless has fortified Supreme's cybersecurity posture while facilitating centralized management of wireless networks, thereby reducing operational complexities and enhancing overall network performance.
Looking ahead, Supreme remains committed to leveraging Cisco's advanced networking solutions to drive further innovation and growth. Future plans include expanding IoT capabilities and integrating advanced analytics to optimize manufacturing processes and predictive maintenance. By embracing Cisco's robust ecosystem, Supreme aims to maintain its leadership in the plastics industry while continuously enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.
