Need help for Code optimization

I have written following code for gathering inventory based on IP address range. However it takes longtime to gather all information since it goes one by one to each machines. Is it possible to optimize following code to all multi-threaded execution?

Thanks you!

Consider using the background job subsystem. You could start several copies of the script as background jobs, with each copy handling a group of your computers. Look at Start-Job as a beginning point.
