In 2012, The Economist claimed we were entering the third industrial revolution based on the digitization of manufacturing, also referred to as the “smart factory.” The development and adoption of the Internet of Things is a critical element of smart manufacturing as reduced sensor device cost, and increased connectivity and in-memory processing give manufacturers the ability to gather and use data to increase product quality and transform operations. IT organizations are increasingly involved with the management, security and governance of this data as equipment and products are connected to the internet. This session will provide a practical framework for evaluating ways to improve sensor enablement, transaction processes and analytics based on real-world customer examples.

Internet of Things
Impacts every aspect of your
life, personal and
professional.
Today’s technology cost is so
low, the ability to build
creative solutions can
transform company
operations.
How a company leverages the
current industry trends will
not only differentiate their
business, but gain insight to
making better business
decisions in real time.

Sensors alone do not
transform operations. They
have existed for years, along with
various software packages to
collect and analyze.
Data points without
connectivity do not transform
business operations. Networks
need to be designed to handle this
increased traffic while managing
the security requirements.
The key is to combine sensors,
networks and high computing
to empower decision making
from operators to executives

Providing a manufacturing roadmap
focused on transforming
operations, by leveraging the latest
in technology and business
processes.
Combined, IoT and Industry
4.0 are more than the latest

Challenge
TreeHouse has several shop floor information systems
unevenly deployed across SAP and non-SAP footprints. The
corporate initiative is to use a single set of consistently
calculated operational metrics such as Overall Equipment
Effectiveness (OEE), schedule adherence and attainment and
quality. The challenge was to find a solution agnostic for
whether the location is live on SAP or which shop floor
systems are deployed and provide increased confidence
reported metrics.
Products involved
• SAP Manufacturing Integration & Intelligence (SAP MII – 12.2)
• SAP ERP (ECC 6.0)
• Time Tracking Software, 3rd party ERP system and shop floor
systems
Project highlights and benefits
• Enabler to operational improvement: facilitates actionable
meetings of timely information with personnel who can drive
improvement
• Rapid template deployment: application can be configured to
each plant thus avoiding need for new custom development
and maintenance hassles
• Flexible platform for future functionality: ongoing plans to
add additional reporting and data capture features
• Platform independent: application is built on GPL open source
query plugins eliminating the need for specific browser/java
versions
