Manufacturers face a constantly changing economy and a continuous desire to reduce costs. What can manufacturers use the Cisco internet of things to do?

Question

Options

• AIncrease the number of active onsite workers.
• BImprove their company marketing approach.
• CIncrease visibility into operations.
• DMaintain use of traditional manufacturing practices.

• A
  2% (1)
• C
  93% (41)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

C is correct because Cisco's IoT platform connects sensors, machines, and systems on the factory floor to collect real-time data - giving manufacturers deep visibility into production efficiency, equipment health, supply chain status, and operational bottlenecks that were previously hidden or delayed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because IoT typically reduces reliance on onsite workers by automating monitoring and processes, not increasing headcount.
• B is wrong because IoT targets operational and production intelligence, not marketing strategy or brand messaging.
• D is wrong because IoT is specifically a departure from traditional practices - it modernizes manufacturing through data-driven automation and connectivity.

Memory tip: Think of IoT as giving manufacturers "X-ray vision" into their own operations. When in doubt, Cisco IoT = visibility + data - not workforce, marketing, or staying the same.
