June 18, 2025 -AutomationDirect has added WAGO lean managed industrial Ethernet switches that provide a cost-effective managed network solution. These switches integrate principles of lean manufacturing into their design and functionality, offering advantages such as waste reduction, improved efficiency, and more. Their web-based interface and easy-to-use diagnostic tools reduce configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting time, and the diverse communication protocol choices eliminate the need for specialized switches, making these switches ideal for IIoT applications.
The VLAN support allows logical segmentation of the network, which improves traffic management and performance with efficient bandwidth utilization. Select models add MAC Security, which limits unauthorized network access, helps isolate traffic, and improves overall network security without the need for expensive complex hardware.
The new WAGO lean managed switches start at $713.00 (852-1812).
