Implementing Smart Manufacturing in Smaller Chunks Will Lead to Bigger Success


Digital transformation is not an easy path to take and may often seem intimidating to those who have complex use cases in their organizations, making the process difficult. The trial and error methods of adopting smart manufacturing for the traditional manufacturers has unveiled the secret sauce for success, which is to implement the complex use cases in smaller chunks to make the bigger leap. When one is able to conquer the skill of implementation of smaller applications, a strong foundation is built for the implementation of complex functionalities of the same application.

Some of the very common use cases may include data integrity and monitoring system availability. Data integrity acts as a good starting point for any edge platform as it ensures that the data is being captured effectively and accurately. Monitoring the time duration for which the system is available, is under sleep time, or has been shut down is also a necessary use case that is implemented in most of the Industry 4.0 platforms. Now, the key idea behind implementing such small and easy use cases is to yield simple and quick returns by minimizing the waste of efforts, and having smoother implementation as the main output.

If the bigger and more complex use cases are implemented directly, OT-IT connectivity may still be established through manufacturing connectivity and intelligence platforms, but they may not be extremely efficient. This is because more time would be spent in doing so as it may be a tricky task to achieve. So the key is to integrate the rudimental use cases first, as they would most likely be required in most of the applications. Once this step is achieved, then the rest of the game becomes really easy to play!
