Increasing Value

An Industrial Renaissance Proving its potential to optimize efficiency and transform business, the Industrial Internet has foundsuccessful application across various industries.

Oil & Gas

Through predictive maintenance, pipeline monitoring, automated workflows, IIoT is not only creating value but addressing major challenges in the oil and gas sector.

Oil flow through pipelines

Efficient fuel delivery

Smooth functioning of supply chain network

Sensors embedded within pipelines help engineers keep close tabs on line pressure, rate of flow, temperature, and other critical variables.

By tracking fuel transportation logistics closely with the help of sensors, the industry can gain significant cost savingsand productivity.

Business challenges like predicting and optimizing trip time, improving asset utiliza-tion, and formulating efficient pricing models can be addre-ssed through a connected supply chain.

Automotive

The ever-increasing demand for product variety and shorter turnaround, among other challenges, are tackled effectively by leveraging IIoT.

Assembly and fabrication of machine parts

Process efficiency and quality control

Asset condition and maintenance

In an IIoT-enabled unit, a network of devices track and manage parts assembly and material carriers across the factory floor.

IIoT enables process optimization by extracting real-time performance data from machinery to minimize errors and wastage.

Predictive maintenance through real-time performance monitoring generates enormous savings and enhances production efficiency.

Aviation

As a highly competitive and customer-centric services industry, aviation stands to gain immensely from the transformative power of IIoT.

Fuel usage optimization

Safety for long flights

Flight efficiency

Enabling Industrial Internet will help determine the exact fuel consumption of a plane, helping aircraft engineers to optimize usage and bring down costs.

Real-time monitoring and data analysis will help detect any irregularity in the functioning of an aircraft during flights.

Performance data from sensors on the aircraft can be analyzed to address flaws and inefficiencies, and optimize flight efficiency.

Key Features of an Industrial IoT Platform

Challenges in Implementing an IIoT Platform

High Availability

Security Scalability and Flexibility

OrchestrationData Volume and Diversity

An Industrial IoT platform should meet the requir-ements of security, privacy, identity management, and access control.

The platform must be highly available and equipped with multiple failover and immediate recovery capabilities.

The platform has to be flexible andscalable to ensure steady performance when new applications are integrated with it.

To interpret and create value from the massive influx of data, the IIoT platform needs to adopt standards that can man-age its diversity and volume.

The platform should orchestrate multiple applications, allowing users to create and optimize new opera- tional models.
