- 8. Data Access andInsight What’s stopping the progress of Industry 4.0? • Many organizations are trying to use cloud IT platforms for Industry 4.0/digital transformation
- 9. Data Access andInsight What’s stopping the progress of Industry 4.0? • Many organizations are trying to use cloud IT platforms for Industry 4.0/digital transformation • However, none of the cloud IT platforms available can interact with the plant floor (OT)
- 10. Data Access andInsight What’s stopping the progress of Industry 4.0? • Address the needs of OT in the same way as you address the needs of IT • You need a platform for OT • Without an OT platform, you cannot leverage a cloud IT platform
- 11. Data Access andInsight What’s stopping the progress of Industry 4.0? • Ignition is the OT platform • Bring order to the chaos at the OT level so you can easily connect up to IT
- 12. Data Access andInsight What’s stopping the progress of Industry 4.0? “Ecosystems are often open networks of strategic business partners with the common aim of driving growth and fostering innovation. “… typically ecosystems are built around intellectual property stemming from one core partner.” — Eric Schaeffer, Industry X.0: Realizing Digital Value in Industrial Sectors
- 13. Industry What Does “Platform”Mean? • A platform is a group of technologies that are used as a base upon which other applications, processes, or technologies are developed.
- 14. Industry Why a Platform? SolvePain Points: • Ease of installation/upgrade • Open, standards-based • Cross-platform • Rapid design & deployment • Scalable • Modular • Extensible • Backwards-compatible • Future-proof
- 15. Industry Why a Platform? Drivers: •Innovation (ecosystem of users, partners, collaborators, and producers who contribute and generate innovative ideas) • Faster response times (technology shifts) • Lesser risk (more stability, more users and contributors) • Large community (case studies, training, templates)
- 16. Industry Product vs. Platform •Closed, proprietary • Keeps only consumers in mind • Open, standards-based • Keeps producers and consumers in mind
- 17. Industry Core Platform Tenets BuildingBlocks: • Open access & interfaces (but not insecure) • Connectivity (in & out) • Modular architecture (easy to build on, extend) • Provide solutions (endless possibilities) • Vibrant ecosystem (how value is created around the platform)
