The article, authored by industrial journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, noted with the sudden interest in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), manufacturing has finally received the attention it deserves. Even without the love of the technology companies, manufacturers were still able to produce amazing amounts of high quality products with incredible accuracy; there is a lot of room for improvement. According to Cisco, by 2017 there will be 1.7 billion wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) connections across the supply chain. They also estimate that smart factory technology can create US$1.95 trillion in value by 2022 by improving control, agility, and flexibility in the manufacturing processes. This is money saved by the industry because of more efficient practices; the improvement is a return on investment – which considers the cost of the technology.

Real Time Systems Like Vimana Make Industry 4.0 a Reality

Will Sobel, CEO of System Insights said, “To achieve a true 4.0 revolution, we will need to instrument and collect huge amounts of data from machine tools and tie the success of the process, quality, into a feedback loop to identify where in the process defects were introduced. The defect detection must be done as close as possible to point at which the defect was introduced so there is the least amount of interference that may make attribution more complex. “

Business Value of Industrial IoT and Industry 4.0 Shines Light on Leadership of System Insights

The recent hot topic for the venture capitalists and the industry visionaries is the Internet of Things (IoT). According to Will Sobel, CEO with System Insights, “They have suddenly realized there are more things than people, and unlike people, things produce data. Things are the new buzzwords, but nobody has figured out how to make real money from things or what is the value of a thing. Manufacturing keeps coming up as an area of focus, but again, while the broad strokes are there, the ideas are not grounded. There has been a lot of focus on security and protocols, very necessary, but less focus on how to generate the business value from things.”
