Accelerated market demands
Technology has grown rapidly, so has mankind’s vision to
evolve and sustain earth. The world has become more astute and time
considerate. This is the era of smart technologies and smart living with no
much room left for manual processes which consume unnecessary time and money.
This is one of the many reasons that the market demands and people interests
are changing rapidly, bringing a paradigm shift in every sector of business and
its operations.
IoT - a revolution for a sustainable planet
The world has experienced extraordinary revolutions since
the early ages of human kind. We have evolved to learn and develop ourselves
into a dominant race.
The mechanical, electrical, computer and the internet
revolution, played a key role in our development and humanities quest for more
once again raised the famous question of “WHAT NEXT?”
The answer lies with the new generation technology companies
who have already orchestrated and prepared for an incipient revolution, which
may rewrite the history of the world by its seamless capabilities.
Introducing the IoT revolution (Internet of things). Indeed,
IoT is a vision and a concept where humankind, environment and the man-made
objects/assets blend their futuristic thoughts and work as a unified service
unit to scale today's business needs on the fly and tomorrow's deliverables set
by today. Automation controls and data
acquisition is the heart function of IoT in a keenly interactive world. We may
literally call IoT as an INTRANET or a BLUE BOOK or a DIGITAL LIBRARY on all
connected equipment's for a country or a region.
IoT in manufacturing, upcoming Business Model for OEM
business administration
The interest rate on most OEM businesses is transmuting from
traditional product-oriented business module to service-oriented business model
which leads to a data driven lifestyle supported by IoT enablement in their
business network. The whole optimization and governance of data will enable
cost reduction in operating a large scale manufacturing network and their
services through increased operational efficiencies and real time data
availability. This will help the OEM portfolio managers to execute any dynamic
business changes as the need arises.
Why is it said that IoT changes the way manufacturers think
tomorrow?
IoT in manufacturing sector is an interesting subject, researches
reveals that 42% of the manufacturers are self-prepared to become Internet of
things connected players.
Also 45 % are thinking that they need to urgently shift from
traditional ways of business to up-to-the-minute IoT cutting-edge services.
For majority businesses, IoT is one of the top 3 priorities.
Only 3% of OEM will stick with their
traditional level of product oriented business model for long and eventually
adopt IoT and data driven policies to drive their business network.
Current OEM Business model Vs. IoT driven business Model
Anybody familiar about an open loop and a closed loop in
control system engineering would be interested in below statement.
In simple words, an open loop is an automation method with
no control on its process output.
A closed loop concept actually performs what the situation
exactly wants and therefor enabling fast decision making capability. The
perfection to process governance in closed loop is adequate in comparison with
an open loop.
Nowadays, every manufacturing industry is struggling with
cut-throat competition from their domain of business area and the traditional
business process flow concept is struggling and seems inefficient to respond
towards this generation's dynamic market needs. This is almost similar like an
open loop (Most of the OEM business models are driven as linear progression
method so the failure rates are high in current circumstance and customer
demands or market trends are slowly adopting to the portfolio).
Today the OEMs are facing big challenges in terms of
business visibility about their flagship products in the market.
Compare the IoT enablement as a closed loop feedback control
system or a tool which can fill the business process gaps for any manufacturer,
who would really be interested to see live customer interactions and comfort
level graph towards their product and services in the market. This will definitely
help any OEM to execute customer retention policies in a smarter way. The business outcome and the value
proposition is measurable in terms of quality, performance, SLA maintainability, operational excellence,
product enhancement etc. Further, the next generation IoT services will enable
a bunch of new revenue streams, bringing a standard governing policy to the OEM
portfolios networks and this will change the way we interact with any OEM
tomorrow.
