1: Look for a company that let you develop field research regarding the topic
of the module.

A field investigation into Johnson & Johnson (J&J), an American multinational


corporation operating in the fields of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and
consumer products, it is essential to understand various aspects of its functioning.

2: (A) Business Type and Service Description

Johnson & Johnson is a diversified company that operates primarily in three


segments: medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. It focuses
on the development, manufacturing and sale of a wide range of products, including
prescription drugs, medical devices and personal hygiene products.

(B) Structure of Production Lines and Industrial Processes

J&J employs advanced and highly regulated production processes, especially in its
pharmaceutical and medical device segments, where precision, quality and safety
are crucial. Production lines in these segments may include chemical compound
synthesis, medical device assembly, sterile packaging, and quality control. In the
consumer products sector, production may involve mass manufacturing of hygiene
items, with a focus on efficiency and product consistency.

(C) Areas Requiring Wired Network Connection

At Johnson & Johnson, several critical areas require a robust and secure wired
network connection to ensure operational efficiency and data integrity:

Data Centers: Store large volumes of sensitive and critical data, including
research records, production data, financial information and patient records.
Production Facilities and Laboratories: Production areas, especially in the
pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, require a reliable network for
production process control, quality monitoring and real-time data management.

Administrative Offices: They need a secure connection to manage business


operations, human resources, finances, and internal and external communications.

Research and Development (R&D): Laboratories and R&D centers require high-
speed networks for the exchange of large research data sets, online collaboration,
and access to global scientific databases.

Warehouses and Logistics: Wired networks support warehouse management


systems, inventory tracking and logistics operations to ensure efficient distribution
of products.

3: Type of Data Transmitted, Frequency and Quantity

J&J transmits a wide variety of data, including production operational data,


research and development data, financial and human resources data, and internal
communications. The frequency and amount of data can vary significantly
depending on the operation; For example, production data can be transmitted in
real time, while other data can be transmitted daily or weekly.

Type of Data Transmitted

Production Operational Data: Includes details about manufacturing, such as


production rates, product quality, machinery efficiency, and maintenance. These
data are essential for the management of production lines and industrial
processes.

Research and Development Data: In the pharmaceutical and medical device


sector, R&D data includes experimental results, clinical trial data, safety and
efficacy studies, and patent registrations.
Financial Data: Information about sales, expenses, revenues, and other key
financial indicators that is shared internally and, in some cases, with regulators and
shareholders.

Human Resources Data: Includes information on employees, payroll, benefits,


and personal training of human resources.

Supply Chain Data: Information related to logistics, inventory, supplier


management and product distribution.

4: Restrictions and Extreme Conditions for the Installation of Network Cables

Restrictions for installing network cables may include the need to meet strict
hygiene and safety standards in pharmaceutical and medical device production
areas, as well as the need to protect network infrastructure in environments with
extreme conditions, such as high humidity or temperatures Additionally, it is crucial
to consider protection against electromagnetic interference in environments with
sensitive medical equipment.

Network Cable Installation Restrictions

Sterile Environments: Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing areas


often require sterile environments. Installing cables in these areas must avoid
contamination, which may require special installation and maintenance procedures.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): Sensitive medical and laboratory equipment


can be affected by EMI. This may require the use of shielded or fiber optic cabling
to minimize interference.

Use of shielded or fiber optic cabling for EMI sensitive areas or where high data
transmission capacity is required.

Implementing sealed conduits or protective-coated wiring to protect against humid,


corrosive or dirty environments.
Installation of fire-resistant cabling in critical areas to guarantee the integrity of the
network in the event of a fire.

Use of cables and components with certification for risk areas where there is a risk
of explosion or fire due to flammable gases or dusts.

6. Develop the design and explain it in detail through a document. Also,
mention the advantages, disadvantages, and areas of opportunity of your
design.

First diagram.
1. Servers that store important business data and run applications.

2. Provide access points for wireless connections.

3. Computers are connected to each other via a switch, which means that a local
area network (LAN) exists.

4. Connect your LAN to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) router for easy
access to the cloud.

5. Thin Clients Act as Endpoints for Accessing Centrally Hosted Applications and
Data

Second diagram.

This diagram illustrates the sequence of product assembly, inspection, and


packaging steps. Each step of the process is clearly defined and linked to displays
and thin clients, indicating a digitally controlled production environment.

Advantages.

• Real-time monitoring as each workstation has a monitor and a thin client,


which means the process can be monitored and adjusted in real-time.
• Automation at some sites (such as "Automatic Force Calibration" and "Flow
& Leak Testing") claim that the process is automated, meaning that human
error can be reduced and consistency improved.
• The digitalization of the process facilitates the traceability and quality control
of the entire production line.
Disadvantages

• Manufacturing relies heavily on technology, and any technical glitch can


cripple the entire production line.
• Maintenance on computer equipment and systems is extremely important as
they can suffer long-term damage.
• Staff training is important as well as we need qualified personnel to be able
to maintain such automated production lines.

Areas of opportunity of your design.

• The process could be further streamlined by eliminating unnecessary steps


or deploying more workstations.
• Continue to train staff on an ongoing basis in case technology changes in
the future.
• Create rapid response mechanisms for technical problems, as time is very
important on a production line.
• Monitors and thin clients are where the operator interacts so it could be very
good, it would facilitate operation and reduce the risk of human error
