The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way manufacturers can do business, enabling critical data to be supplied in real time and allowing smarter and faster decision-making processes across the end-to-end value chain. Let’s take a look at the scenario.

1. IoT for better business
IoT for Smart Manufacturing

2. The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way
manufacturers can do business, enabling critical data to be
supplied in real time and allowing smarter and faster
decision-making processes across the end-to-end value
chain. Let’s take a look at the scenario.

3. Innovation is shaking up traditional production
There is no escaping it
The next wave of manufacturing will affect producers’ entire value chain,
stretching from design all the way through the supply chain, including
production, distribution, customer service.

4. Industrial Internet vs Industry 4.0 vs IIoT
It’s all about Internet
No matter which cultural approach you take, the common essence is that
machines, data and people are all tied together and that they use adaptive logic
transmitted through the Internet.
MAPI– https://www.mapi.net/research/publications/industrie-4-0-vs-industrial-internet

5. How manufacturing will make gains
The disruptive impact of Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 will make it possible to gather and analyze data across machines,
enabling faster, more flexible and more efficient processes to produce higher-
quality goods at reduced costs.

6. “Invisible assets” have a real chance
Almost every manufacturer owns a majority of invisible assets, pieces of
equipment invisible to the network. Digitizing them (and bringing them online)
now can be done with a small impact on budget and deployment time.

9. IoT and manufacturing: a virtuous marriage
Data shows 204% year-over-year growth in the number of IoT connections in
manufacturing. Virtually no sector is immune from IoT. IoT can add value to
most, if not all.
*VERIZON, State of the Market, The Internet of Things 2015

10. Let’s move from scenario to reality. Internet of Things helps
you never miss your favourite pint. Let’s go through an
“Internet of Beers” use case.

11. Transforming a brewery in a fully
integrated, automated, optimized facility
Challenge 1
Challenge 2
Challenges
Optimizing both brewing processes and
beer supply chain management
Challenge 3
Increasing end users and bar managers’
customer loyalty

12. Smart beer equals smart factories: interconnected and harmonized machines to
facilitate significant improvements in costs, safety and environmental impacts
• 24x7 machinery remote consultation
• On line, real time updates on machine status
• Real time alarms in case of downs
• Notifications about machinery status changes
• Monitoring, comparison and optimization of machinery energy consumption

13. From a smart process perspective, Internet of things also helps to investigate
and resolve brewing process and beer quality issues unique for each brewery
• Beer analysis and quality management
• Brewing process automation
• Supply optimization across the entire chain (from raw materials to finished
beer)

14. Internet of beer also means improving efficiency and accuracy of deliveries and
collections throughout the sales channel and end user customer loyalty
• Inventory management optimization to avoid both waist and out of stock
• Predictive maintenance of drought beer taps
• Customers’ real-time insights and trends for marketing purposes

16. From scenario to reality
“I seem to have a problem with the
the insertion of the plugs into the
bottles. All complaints are traced
to bottles packaged by me. I
understand that the problem is the
parameter X. I just changed the
setting. Recheck is scheduled in 1
week.”

smart manufacturing, no matter that we talk about beer,
HVAC, elevator equipment, food processing machines or
wearables.

18. The problem we solve
We help you to connect your
machinery, processes and products,
