4 Reasons Industrial IoT
is Advanc ing Manufac turing Pr oc es s es

2. Although the term was coined as early as
1999, the Internet of Things (IoT) has only
really become a comfortable part of our
vernacular in recent years. As manufacturing
factories become increasingly smarter,
technology-driven real time optimization of
manufacturing production has become a reality.

3. It is this next wave of innovation that is impacting the way in which
manufacturing organizations conduct business, structure supply chain
partnerships, manage demand, and run plant operations.
The Industrial Internet of
Things refers to the use of the
IoT technologies specifically in
the manufacturing industry.

4. The Industrial IoT combines mechanical systems with electronics to
“connect” all aspects of the manufacturing process. Specifically, it
makes use of internet-enabled devices and factory equipment to
collect, monitor, exchange, analyze, and implement information that is
fed back to the organization, including plant managers and senior
management — in order to make real-time, fact-based, informed
decisions about the business.

5. The issue that many of
today's manufacturers face,
when it comes to the
Industrial IoT, is not knowing
where to start in their
technology needs and
business processes, in order
to maximize the impact of
their investments.

6. Identifying the business benefits is the
first step to leveraging Industrial IoT-
enabled processes for business growth.
In the next few slides the four key
advantages that manufacturers should
consider are discussed.

7. 1.
Internet-connected machines and devices allow
data to be captured and broadcasted to shop floor
managers in real-time.
For example: A food manufacturing plant can proactively monitor
and react to instances where production temperatures rise and fall
outside the optimum range.

8. 2.
Collected data can easily be transmitted to
senior management and sales teams in
real-time. This offers greater visibility into
plant operations and allows for quicker,
more informed decision making.
For example: A salesperson is immediately notified
about delayed orders and can communicate timeously
with customers to manage expectations.

9. 3.
Data can extend beyond the manufacturing company,
into the supply chain and be shared with key suppliers.
For example: Smart machines let suppliers know when inventory
is running low triggering stock replenishment before
critical levels are reached.

10. 4.
Customers are easily notified about the
progress and delivery of their orders without
any manual intervention.
For example: GPS-location tracking on the order itself to
bypass reliance on factory staff or delivery drivers to
update information.

11. A major focus of the Product Innovation
team at SYSPRO has been to enable
easier access to SYSPRO data for
transaction and display purposes from
anywhere. The systems which have been
put in place in SYSPRO allows for full
integration of IoT devices with SYSPRO in
a controlled and secure manner.
And for the technically-minded…The
SYSPRO Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF) Service supports both
representational state transfer (REST) and
simple access object protocol (SOAP)
based communication methods which
makes access to SYSPRO possible
regardless of the platform.

12. The Internet of Things Revolutionizing the
Manufacturing Sector
Smart devices like machine sensors, RFID
readers and video cameras – connected to
the Internet and the Cloud and
communicating in real-time – are having a
massive impact on the factory floor production
and distribution process. Manufacturers will
benefit best by boarding the IoT train as soon
as possible or risk being left behind.
