Which technologies are enabled by a wireless Industry 4.0 network1?

Question

Options

• Acybersecurity and distributed I/O
• Bwireless tooling and IP67 protection grade
• Cremote expert and AGV
• DCVD and Devnet

• A
  91% (29)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  6% (2)

Explanation

Option A is correct because a wireless Industry 4.0 network directly enables cybersecurity (protecting industrial data and devices from threats over the air) and distributed I/O (allowing sensors and actuators to be placed anywhere across a facility without physical wiring constraints). These two capabilities are core outcomes of deploying a wireless industrial network.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect because IP67 is a hardware ingress protection rating for physical device enclosures - it is a manufacturing spec, not something a network enables.
• C is partially plausible (AGVs do use wireless), but remote expert and AGV are application-layer use cases that depend on many factors beyond the network layer; they are not technologies the wireless network itself enables.
• D is incorrect because CVD (Cisco Validated Design) and DevNet are Cisco programs/frameworks for design guidance and developer resources - not technologies enabled by a wireless Industry 4.0 network.

Memory tip: Think of what a network fundamentally provides - connectivity and security. Distributed I/O = connectivity benefit; cybersecurity = security benefit. Eliminate options containing hardware specs (IP67) or vendor tools (CVD/DevNet) since networks enable capabilities, not physical ratings or documentation frameworks.
