The document discusses how the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) can benefit manufacturing operations. It explains that IIoT involves collecting sensor data from machines and using that data to optimize processes, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. Specifically, IIoT can help improve financial metrics like sales, costs of goods sold, expenses, and profits through predictive maintenance, continuous improvement efforts, and optimizing operational processes with large data sets. The document provides examples of how IIoT data collection and analysis can benefit areas like disposables procurement, production machinery maintenance, production line efficiency, and employee performance monitoring.

The business case for the manufacturer
2. What is IoT
IoT stands for Internet of Things
Its really about collecting data on things
managed and acting on that data
Think input of sensors, communication via
networks, and actionable data as the
output
Now think industrial
IIoT stands for Industrial Internet of
Things
Think more sales, lower Cost of Goods Sold,
lower expenses, more profit

Internet of Things:
(stylized Internet of Things or IoT)
the internetworking of physical devices, vehicles
(also referred to as connected devices and smart
devices), buildings, and other items embedded
with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and
network connectivity that enable these objects to
collect and exchange data. (from Wikipedia)

Predictive Modeling Benefits
Will provide significant improvements in up-time (predictive maintenance)
Will provide significant information on equipment performance (real time)
Data for continuous improvement efforts ever better efficiencies/utilization

8. How IIoT Will Improve Financials
Improve your P&L
Sales Income
Increase sales by reducing product waste via monitoring data indicators
Improving efficiency with data will increase production, annual sales volume,
and capacity
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Reduce COGS by using data to maximize efficiencies and reduce production
costs
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
Reduce SG&A by monitoring/automating disposable reorders
Better proactive preventative maintenance through data eliminates
collateral damage failures, or undetected early indicators of improper
maintenance, etc.
Reduce insurance premiums better safety record, reduced facility damage
due to catastrophic failures

9. How IIoT Will Improve Financials
Improve your Balance Sheet
Debt Load / Current Ratio Improvements
Reduce potential unplanned debt on balance sheet by proactive
data-driven maintenance and repair
Assets
Improve lifetime of capital equipment purchased and unplanned costs

10. How IIoT Will Improve Financials
Improve your Cash Flow
Work In Process (WIP)
Increase WIP by maximizing up-time of equipment via data-driven
maintenance
Increase production efficiency by looking through data for good/bad
practice, and operation of machinery.
Accounts Receivable (AR)
Increase cash inflows by getting more production by looking for
efficiency and utilization issues in the operation data.
Accounts Payable (AP)
Less failures, lower insurance, fewer catastrophic events, longer
lifecycles of machines and disposables all reduce your AP burden.

13. Example: Monitoring Disposables using IIoT Actionable Data
Blade
Data on items purchased
Promotional offers based on use of preferred brands vs. alternatives
Enhanced features and functionality based on use of IIoT enabled disposables vs. alternatives
Predictive analysis on when disposables need to be purchased, repaired, discarded
Automation in procurement of new disposable products
Option to disable operation due to use of unapproved disposables.
Data on disposables performance
Track and estimate amount of production waste per disposable, per employee
Determine with data which disposable to use in which operation
Detection of aging so as to replace before productivity, safety are compromised

Production Machinery
Preventative maintenance
Proactive detection of issues/failures within the system itself
Lifecycle as a function of other factors (usage, operations, etc.)
Maximize up-time using the above information and coordinate
repair timing to minimize downtime

15. IIoT Actionable Data Production Machinery
Production Line
Efficiency, safety, utilization measures as they relate to:
Other production lines (line-to-line comparison)
Team members, supervisors
Other identical equipment on other lines
Other machinery can indicate whether another machine is underperforming past results or other
machines
Product tracking
Use data collected from machine to determine varying levels of efficiency and utilization
As part of a larger IIoT system, track product as it moves through the process. Providing real-time
performance indicators
Are we slowing down or speeding up?
Are we stopped?
Are we spending too much time at one phase of the process or too little?

16. IIoT Actionable Data Other Systems
Other Systems
How well are machines being maintained?
Are there correlations with data supported issues/problems and other
systems being used?
Can we integrate our data with other systems data so as to model
the entire production process and look for improvements in
utilization, efficiency, safety, production, etc.?
Part of an IIoT Infrastructure
Eventually all systems within a plant will have sensors and data which
can be integrated with all machine IoT data to improve top- and
bottom-line performance
