What more could you accomplish if you could
analyze your equipment’s data? Increased
efficiency. Predictive maintenance. Reduced
downtime. Higher production.
It sounds simple enough, but harnessing the
information and thus the power of your connected
devices is a process that takes time. The
technology behind the Industrial Internet
of Things can bring about business improvements
in virtually every industry, but a layered
approach to your IIOT strategy can help you
show measureable improvements to your operation,
which can help convince the powers that be
at your company to keep the IIOT improvements
coming.
It starts with connecting your equipment.
From there, you’ll use communication tools
to transfer data throughout your operation,
and then store and aggregate it. After analyzing
the information, you can take action based
on the results, and realize benefits from
IIOT-connected operations.
These improvements from IIOT connectivity
can come in a variety of applications.
Modernization projects help you adopt newer
machinery that is better equipped to help
you benefit from the IIOT because they’re
designed for IIOT uses. And you can do this
in a phased approach that lets you update
your facility on your time frame using OpEx
dollars. American Castings opted for a phased
modernization and estimated over $100,000
saved – and IIOT benefits including streamlined
access to operational data and better follow-through
of process control.
Oil and gas producers can benefit from fully
connected sites that allow for less equipment
and more reliable communications, including
24/7 remote access to measurement and telemetry
data. Pelican Gathering benefited from integrated
solutions that brought their data directly
into their control system, and Modbus modules
that connected field instruments to their
disparate PLC.
In a variety of material handling applications,
reliably connecting your facility’s smart
conveyors can help boost the return on your
IIOT investment. An Italian eco-ethical company
introduced a new network into their facility
to take full advantage of their Wi-Fi radios’
EtherNet/IP support; now they can easily manage
and monitor their AGVs, which transport wood
throughout their facility. They’ve improved
capability and output as a result of these
changes.
