Click the link: https://hubs.ly/H0g9Hc10 If the vision of Industry 4.0 is to be realized, most enterprise processes must become more digitized. A critical element will be the evolution of traditional supply chains toward a connected, smart, and highly efficient supply chain ecosystem. Industry 4.0 is about more than just the smart factory or the implementation of new technologies. The supply chain today is a series of largely siloed processes ranging from product development, to manufacturing, distribution, and more. Digitization brings down these walls, and the supply chain becomes a completely integrated ecosystem that is fully transparent to all the players involved. This infographic aims to overview the essential elements of supply chain and logistics in the age of Industrial IoT.

1. Why Industry 4.0 is crucial to the
supply chain?
Industry 4.0 is more than a flashy word, it encompasses machine learning and
artificial intelligence, as well as analytics and cloud computing systems.
Respondents expect to more than double their level of digitization by 2020

The power of Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 challenges
Network-focused visibility
The ability to see and
understand the
activities and events
of multiple players.
Connected manufacturing
The ability to solve
problems that exist
in equipment, using
data from thousands
of sensors and data
points.
Connected demand
The ability to improve
customer experience,
reduce cost, by using
real-time data to
satisfy customer
demand.
Connected value chain
The ability to leverage
IoT that will create a
connected supply
chain, which can help
you innovate
faster in a
customer-driven world.
Connected service
The ability to create an
IoT enabled supply
chain, that can help
with pro-active
& timely maintenance
and avoid production
uptime.
Connected fleet
The ability to create
organized logistics
operations that
improve efficiency,
lower costs, and
enhance customer
satisfaction.
To be successful in implementing IoT technologies to transform supply chain
operations, organizations need to take several aspects into consideration:
The digitization of the supply chain will enable companies to address customer
requirements better, allowing them to tackle the challenges on the
supply side, as well as enhance operational efficiency.
1. Proper planning is
essential
Because well begun
is half done.
Choosing the right
technology partner
Because the best
people give you
the best edge.
3. Understanding data
is critical
Because those who
can read the
signs can avoid
trying times.
4. Merge IoT with
app processes
Because the best
tools are only as
good as how well
they’re used.
5. Initial and ongoing
education
Because those who
keep up with the
times stay three
steps ahead.
Faster deliveries
Flexible supply
chains
Accurate &
real-time data
Better cost
efficiencies
