Enriched Data Accelerates the Realization of Smart Manufacturing

Manufacturers struggle to get real insight and realize payoff from Smart Manufacturing data. The key challenge is in the foundational step: building better data which requires capturing, structuring, integrating, and enriching machine data. This process is complex, time-consuming, costly, and resource intensive. However, with application enablement platforms to ease the extraction of data from a device or machine, simplify the integration and enrichment, and get it into a form that is easily consumable to the IIoT application, manufacturers can build enriched data that will accelerate the realization of Smart Manufacturing.

SICK AG WHITEPAPER

whitePaper | June 3, 2022

Production and intralogistics in the consumer goods industry are currently undergoing significant changes. This is the result of rising cost pressures and the need for greater automation as well as increasing product variants and customization. The changes that are taking place also relate to the goal of digitization: Every sensor, every machine, and all people involved in the production and intralogistics processes should be able to communicate with each other at all times. The vertical and, in the next step, horizontal networking of sensors, machines and factories is the systematic further development of this digitalization.
