6. You might be tempted to deploy sensors along
every part of your manufacturing supply chain,
but …
An important first step is pinpoint “what theAn important first step is pinpoint “what the
problem statement is” and “what exactly you
want to achieve (goal)” through the IIOT
6

7. You also need to have a thorough understanding
of the process and relationships.
The sensor quantities, qualities, or locations are
then defined as a result of this analysis

8. All about Measurable Business Results
• Cost Reduction—Optimize inventory, reduce
shrinkage, and lower labor costs
• Increased Revenue—Reduce out-of-stock SKUs,
better monitor sales trends to optimize sales revenue
• Improved Efficiencies—Increased accuracy,• Improved Efficiencies—Increased accuracy,
reduction of data entry errors, and automated data
collection to provide real-time monitoring
• Increased Visibility—Gain greater insight into key
aspects of your organization
It is all about Business Results (Increase top line and reduce bottom line)

11. Sensors to meet Business Results
Questions to ask:
1. What business results are you expecting?
2. Are they are measurable?
3. What is the allocated budget?
4. What is time duration of deployment?4. What is time duration of deployment?
5. What resources are available for ongoing expense?
And then:
1. Define what sensors, how many, specs, where to locate
2. Define the HW/SW/System architecture to support the biz objective
3. Follow- through to make sure business results are achieved

1. Which sensors, where, specs (temp range,
humidity, vibration, resolution,…)
2. Capabilities: local processing, analytics,2. Capabilities: local processing, analytics,
power consumption, communication
3. Reliability, latency, fail-over, redundancy
4. Same for actuators

16. Summary
1. First a problem statement must be defined
2. What is the business result expected
3. Understand the upfront/ongoing budget, time duration,
resources
4. Define success criteria: financial and operational
Then
1. Define sensors and lean HW/SW/systems architecture
2. Define redundancy, availability, fail-over, security criteria
3. Follow- through to make sure business results are achieved
