How is IIoT used in
manufacturing?
Industrial Internet of Things solutions empower manufacturers to operate smarter using connected assets, real-time data analytics and monitoring to keep agile, informed and in control. Whether you’re looking to launch smart connected products, improve quality or gain insights into your supply chain, do it quickly and easily with the #1 self-service IoT platform.Explore these IIoT use cases in smart manufacturing, and imagine what you can achieve with an IIoT solution and Software AG.
Smart product monitoring
Deliver new features faster with connected products. With the ability to
remotely monitor, manage and analyze product data, you’ll know how and
when customers use your products. You’ll see how to sell more services,
create new product bundles, design contracts based on use and offer
higher-value services with stronger SLAs. You can direct sales to profitable
opportunities with insights on real customer needs.
Predictive product services
Use predictive analytics with your IIoT solution to reduce downtime by
anticipating maintenance needs. With an enterprise IIoT platform, you can
access and analyze usage and status data from sensors embedded in your
connected products and use predictive models to forecast the need for
repairs. Increase customer lifetime value and first-call repair rates on a platform for usage- or outcome-based services.
Condition-based & predictive maintenance
With an IIoT solution, you can access real-time usage and status data from
sensors and actuators embedded in your manufacturing equipment.
Continuously stream this data to your IIoT solutions in the cloud, or analyze
that data at the edge for real-time fault detection and alerting. Condition monitoring
improves asset use and availability, increases product quality and reduces
maintenance costs.
Manufacturing process optimization
Monitor manufacturing processes and machinery in real time and identify
what’s causing production bottlenecks. Analytics-driven visualizations of
operational KPIs help you see, decide and act faster. By creating a “digital
twin”—a digital representation of a physical asset—you can remotely
monitor a machine’s status at any time.
Smart logistics
Build a digital supply network by connecting your systems and those of your
suppliers, distributors and customers. Asset tracking, from supply to
delivery, informs you on asset use. Gain real-time insights into location,
vibration, temperature and other environmental factors with connected
assets. Receive alerts when something’s not going according to plan.
