What can workers in the manufacturing industry do now as a direct result of Cisco IOx?

Question

Options

• AIncrease their firm's global relevance.
• BExpand their company's marketing initiatives.
• CReceive earlier notification of an approaching peak or Reduce worker time spent in hold of
• DReduce worker time spent in manufacturing plants.

• A
  10% (7)
• B
  3% (2)
• C
  82% (56)
• D
  4% (3)

Explanation

Option C is correct because Cisco IOx enables edge computing by running applications directly on network devices within industrial environments, allowing real-time local data processing from sensors and machinery. This means workers can receive earlier warnings about approaching operational peaks - such as equipment stress thresholds or production bottlenecks - before they become critical problems, enabling faster, proactive responses.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Global relevance): IOx is a technical edge-computing platform, not a strategic business tool for expanding market presence.
• B (Marketing initiatives): Marketing has no connection to IOx's industrial IoT and network application-hosting capabilities.
• D (Reduce time in plants): IOx doesn't eliminate the need for workers on the floor - it enhances their awareness while working there, it doesn't replace their physical presence.

Memory tip: Think "IOx = IoT at the eXit ramp" - data is processed at the edge (before it travels far), so alerts arrive earlier, like an off-ramp warning before you reach a traffic jam.
