The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is changing the way manufacturers design, plan, make, and service products. Learn from Plex CTO Jerry Foster about the IIoT landscape, how it's used in a manufacturing environment with Plex Systems, and a few examples of how industry leaders are using it to advance their businesses and products.

Final Thoughts The two use-cases illustrate two different opportunities for IIoT • Using data to add value and services to your smart device (GenZe Scooter) • Using smart device to add value to your internal process (Fisher) There is actually a third opportunity • Value in the data itself
Editor's Notes
- Internet of Things doesn’t mean anything. First, because it’s a buzzword, which means it gets attached to whatever. Secondly, because the phrases themselves are so generic. “Internet” is just a mechanism to transmit data “Things” is, well, it’s what you call something when you can’t think of anything Let’s be a bit more precise. For the purpose of our discussion, when I say “Internet of Things”, instead think: “smart, connected devices.” Some other entity – another device, a network, the manufacturer, a system
- (CAGR = Compounded Annual Growth Rate) BTW, who’s counting these?
- This is the Samsung Family Hub (previously known as a “refrigerator”). Only set you back $6,000 And, it is completely unsecured…
- “Industrial” simply is a modifier for devices you would find in an industrial environment, such as a manufacturing plant.
- What is the problem that it answers?
- Tell story about me connecting CNC machines to central computer back in early 90’s. So, if manufacturers have always been connecting things, why is it such a big deal now?
- Cloud Cheap Storage Big Data Analytics Descriptive, Predictive, Prescriptive Some others: Performance, miniaturization, and energy efficiency of sensors and batteries Ubiquitous, wireless connectivity New IPv6 internet registration system opening up massive amounts of IP addresses (3.4 with 38 zeroes behind it)
- The key to success with the IIoT is connection and moreover connecting data from one place and making it available to the organization for any number of uses. Plex’s native cloud architecture inherently connects the shop floor and all of its data with the top floor and the business processes that can benefit from it. <build> From shop floor sensors to mobile and wearable devices and across the plant for things critical data like quality and maintenance, Plex makes collecting data from anywhere easy. <build> And with real-time data such as Costing, the business has immediate and up-to-date information upon which to base decisions. <build> But its important to understand that it also enables an end-to-end connection from supply chain to customers for a truly connected extended enterprise.
- Here is an example. Genze scooters are connected products. They have sensors and telematics equipment on them, which constantly communicate with GenZe data center, sending signals on the health of the vehicle, usage patterns, fault situations, etc. At any time, GenZe knows where these scooters are, how much charge they have left on them, and at what speed are they traveling. All these signals from each consumer are combined with the VIN number of the scooter from Plex’s manufacturing database along with service history from its after-sale service management system – this is Internet of Things (IoT) in action for you. It goes beyond the four walls of the plant into the consumer world. GenZe plans to use these signals to impact their future designs. They may even one day think of pricing these scooters by number of miles rather than upfront Dollars. And they can then plan their service and maintenance business around that new revenue model.
- Fisher & Company is a great example of IIoT in action, using sensors, smart glasses, ring scanners and beacons to communicate information from the plant floor throughout the enterprise. You’ll hear a lot about “sensors” in the IIoT space and although manufacturing has been using physical sensors all over production for many years, the new-news is the proliferation of inexpensive wireless or IP-enabled sensors. Our Google Glass pilot leveraged iBeacons at workcenters to transmit the workcenter ID and status to a Google Glass wearer who enters the proximity zone for the iBeacon. This enables a supervisor to make their rounds without having to interrupt an operator to know the production status. The other example that is significant here, is that although the original idea of using Google Glass as a scanning device didn’t work out – because the app for bar code reading was too slow – adding a ring scanner made a combination that provided real productivity. So now the user does not have to listen for a beep from a scan gun – which they can’t hear well in a production facility – or even look at the display after each scan to confirm capture. The Google Glass display shows instantly. Note that all of these devices have separate IP addresses and Plex is able to communicate effectively to combine them into a productivity solution. Make a point here that you are making “people” connected. Mobile is no longer about a device, it is about the people and where they can do their job
