An internet-connected production machine will automatically\ntransmit data and interpret it according to the user's\nspecifications, storing it on servers provided by the company or in\nprivate spaces in the cloud. This replaces the tasks of operators\nmanually entering data into the company's system and replaces\nanalysts who (in the past) must interpret that data to derive key\nmanagement indicators.
\nAccording to the Forbes study, companies that have adopted IoT\nhave improved their ability to visualise information by 52%,\nsubstantially improving real-time monitoring.<\/p>\n

Process tracking (production plant - sales floor)<\/strong><\/p>\n By coding raw materials, processes and finished products, all steps that take place in the plants and on the shop floor can be tracked. In this way, sales and marketing plans can be drawn up, reasons for defective products can be traced back to the raw material. We highlight the alarm systems that can be generated automatically (such as when a machine has a stoppage of more than x minutes or when defective units pass a certain threshold).<\/p>\n (read the 4 key indicators you need to follow to achieve world class production)<\/a><\/p>\n 3. Increases production capacity and opens up new business lines<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the aforementioned study, 49% of early adopters of IoT have significantly increased their production capacity, to the point that 51% of them have expanded their business lines (products and services). These increases come from being able to analyse data faster and improve reaction time to eventualities. Initially these analyses are done by improvement engineers, but Machine Learning is gradually gaining ground, automatically proposing improvements in production and key points of preventive maintenance.

Company-wide integration<\/strong><\/p>\n The IoT concept is based on communication between devices: production machinery, screens with indicators both on the floor and in offices, maintenance personnel, mobile phone alerts, planning and programming systems. In this way, the whole company is integrated, generating better relations between all staff and favouring multidisciplinary teams that often form innovation and improvement committees.
