Internet of Things in Manufacturing 
GLOBAL 
OPERATIONS 
I can see my 
production line 
status and 
recommend 
adjustments to 
better manage 
operational cost. 
I gain insight into 
usage patterns from 
multiple customers 
and track equipment 
deterioration, 
enabling me to 
reengineer products 
for better 
performance. 
I know when to 
deploy the right 
resources for 
predictive 
maintenance to 
minimize equipment 
failures and reduce 
service cost. 
MANUFACTURING PLANT 
Aggregate product data, 
customer sentiment, and 
other third-party 
syndicated data to identify 
and correct quality issues. 
Manage equipment remotely, using 
temperature limits and other settings 
to conserve energy and reduce costs. 
Monitor production flow in near-real 
time to eliminate waste and 
unnecessary work in process inventory. 
GLOBAL FACILITY INSIGHT 
Implement condition-based 
maintenance 
alerts to eliminate 
machine down-time 
and increase 
throughput. 
CUSTOMER SITE 
Transmits operational information to the 
partner (e.g. OEM) and to field service 
engineers for remote process 
automation and optimization. 
Provide cross-channel visibility into inventories 
to optimize supply and reduce shared costs in 
the value chain.

Editor's Notes

  • #15 [Purpose of this slide: Set the context that when we say “Threshold” we mean the converged platform.] Nothing shows “One Windows” more than the way our platforms are converging, a journey which ends with Windows “Threshold” With the release of Windows 8 we laid the foundation. Windows Phone 8 took advantage of this. And, Xbox One was built on top of Windows 8 and even uses the same runtime. With the release of Windows Phone 8.1 the runtimes from phone and desktop came together. Over 90% API convergence. Threshold brings EVERYTHING together, the foundation is the same, kernel, drivers etc. – from PCs to phones, to IoT devices And the application platform is the same across all of these devices.
