IoT in Manufacturing
The top 3 areas for digital transformation in manufacturing, according to IDC, are:
- Manufacturing operations
- Production asset management and maintenance
- Field service
IoT and digital twin technologies are changing the way products and services are developed, sold and consumed. Connected solutions empower organizations to differentiate offerings and add value in new and compelling ways.
The smart factory can leverage 6D's networked value chain application functionality to integrate and share information derived from thousands of IoT sensors, actuators, and digital twin technologies across all aspects of manufacturing and supply chain operation.
Other use cases for IoT and digital twin technologies in manufacturing include:
- Safety, security, and worker protection
- Connected services
- Transportation
- Supplier services and supply chain visibility and monitoring
- Demand chain visibility and monitoring
- Vehicle and asset tracking
- Access control
- Health monitoring
- Environmental monitoring
- Intelligent parts and product inspections
- Asset protection
- Facility management
- and more
IoT and digital twin technologies offer manufacturers the ability to:
- Increase efficiencies
- Increase automation
- More intensely focus on the customer
- Realize competitive advantages
- Increase margins
- Grow revenues through new innovative products and services
Implementing 6D will allow manufacturers to realize the benefits of IoT and digital twin technologies at the best possible value.
