OT Network Investigation
Scope & approach
Orora needed to understand excessive latency on a production-critical OT network where the disruption was already affecting output and the investigation had to proceed without taking the running network down. Metromotion Controls examined the network topology, device configurations and traffic behaviour to isolate where latency was being introduced, then captured the as-built environment in accurate Ethernet schematics. The work produced recommendations focused on restoring performance and reducing repeat disruption.
What was delivered
- The investigation traced production-impacting latency back to the OT network environment through review of topology, device configuration and traffic behaviour.
- Accurate as-built network schematics improved future troubleshooting and change control on site.
- Recommendations were focused on restoring performance and reducing repeat disruption.
Scope items
- Site investigation of OT network topology, device configurations and traffic behaviour
- Development of accurate Ethernet network schematics reflecting the as-built environment
- Recommendations report to reduce latency, improve network performance and prevent future production impact
