MANUFACTURING
Connected factory
improved machine performance through local
sensing
Algorithms for
• self-tuning
• self-diagnosis
• safety
Connected factory
improved manufacturing process through global data
analysis
TODAY:
main reason for
inefficiency is
lack of real time
and coherent
factory floor data
being made
available
Connected factory
Sensor data build predictive models for
maintenance
TODAY: 30%-50% of
maintenance euros are
wasted through
ineffective maintenance
management
“if it ain’t broke, don’t fix
it”
Connected factory
remote configuration & real-time decision

IoT: many constrained,
embedded devices
