Introduction
Within the context of industrial production IoT projects
andapplications are developing in manufacturing, supply
chain,supervision and servicing.

IoT Applications for Industry

Value Creation and Challenges

• IoT Applications:
IoT applications are solutions using IoT technologies
capable to improve and easy adapt industrial
manufacturing processes, enable new and efficient ways
to do operate and interact in production plants, create
new service or supervision means for industrial
installations, offer an optimized infrastructure, reduce
operational cost and energy consumption or improve
human safety in industrial areas.

• Value, Benefits:
Value can be generated and may show up as a result of
a combinationof IoT applications with other systems or
processes, or can originatein new human behavioror
new interactions.Asset utilization, productivity, logistics
efficiency, innovation havestrong connections with IoT
applications in industry
•
 Value, Benefits (cont.)
“values” each contributing to the total benefit such as:
• Value from visibility identification, location tracking
• Value from IoT-supported safety in hard industrial
environments
• Value from right information providing or collecting
• Value from improved industrial operation and flows in
industry
• Value from reduced production losses
• Value from reduced energy consumption
• Value from new type of processes made possible by IoT
applications
• Value from new type of maintenance and lifetime approaches
• Value enabled by smart objects, connected aspects
• Value from sustainability

• IoT applications requirements and capabilities:

• Reliability
• Robustness
• Reasonable cost
• Security and safety
• Simple use
• Optimal and adaptive set of features
• Low/No maintenance
• Standardization
• Integration capabilities
• Reach sensing and data capabilities

• Industry grade support and services.

Challenges faced by IoT industry applications:

divided in 4 groups:
• IoT device technical challenges
• Lifetime and energy challenge
• Data and information challenge
• Humans and business (lake of business models)

Future Factory Concepts

• Smart Factory production facility

• Digital product memories in open-loop processes

• Smart products
• Smart equipment and smart infrastructure
• The augmented operator

Brownfield IoT: Technologies for Retrofitting

• High value use cases for IoT retrofitting

• These “brownfield” use cases are all targeted towards

optimizing
existing processes by decreasing the gap between the
real world And the virtual world
.
• They are thus examples for an evolutionary approach towards
an “Industry 4.0” that builds upon IoT Technology.

• Iot supported interactions as part of a complex Cyber-

Physical-System
 lOM oAR cPSD| 82 685 65

• As depicted in Figure so called cyber-physical-systems in an

industrialenvironment are by definition heavily interconnected.

• They reflect their physical interdependencies also by

communicationlink and data exchange.
• Technologies like sensor networks and RFID often builds the
missing link in such an environment. IoT technology delivers
“smartness” andcontext awareness to otherwise “dumb”
objects and environments.

Cost-effective Technical Integration of IoT Devices:

• A developer of IoT technology has to take various technical
requirements into account such as energy, communication
bandwidth, communication topology,or processing resources of
different IoT systems.
• Additionally the interoperability is crucial to the value of the
system.
Cost-effective Process Integration of IoT Devices:
• Opportunistic data collection through local infrastructures and
ad hoc mobile access.
• Context-aware interlinking of heterogeneous data
starting from existing processes.
• Human agility and expertise supported by a human-centered
information design.
Smart Objects, Smart Applications
• Smart Object is a bi-directional communicating object which-
observes its environment and-is able to make decisions
depending on the application and based onthe information
extracted from the physical world.
• One approach to Smart Objects is based on the technology
ofwireless sensor networks, as they already provide the
communicationplatform and the sensors.

The ISO/IEC JTC1/WG7 Working Group on Sensor Networks

has designed reference architecture Figure, which separates
the sensor node functionality into three layers:-

Communication Layer: describes the communication protocol

forthe interaction of a smart object with other smart objects,
aninfrastructure or backbone networks.
Service Layer: represents a set of functions commonly
required,such as sensor information gathering, filtering by
various policies andrules, data comparison and analysis, data
mining etc.
Application Layer: realizes the use case of a smart object by a
set offunctions to users to meet defined requirements.

• Figure: Architecture overview of interconnected smart

objects.

• From the users prospect the smartness of a smart object is

realizedwithin the service and the application layers.
• Smart objects are designed as miniaturized, low
powermicroelectronic systems based on micro controllers,
transceivers,sensors and energy supply.
• As these microelectronic systems provide very limited
resources (i.e.,processing power, memory) reconfigurable
software implementations for smart objects become a
challenge. Especially when reconfiguration requires:
-easy programming
 lOM oAR cPSD| 82 685 65

-minimum code size

• Reconfiguration is done by adding or changing components or

bychanging the functionality behind the interfaces.This is done
by code programming of the components and bysoftware
update on the smart object.
• Code Programming and data-intensive software update can
beavoided by the new approach of smart applications.Service
oriented approach vs Smart applications approach (consist
ofsoftware components).

Four Aspects in your Business to Master IoT

1. Internet Conquering Product Business:-

In order to deliver value for business it is too narrow to just
look atconnectivity.-It is important to look at the business
process and the benefit for theinvolved stakeholders in a
specific application.-In recent years, the internet has
transformed communications (Voice overIP, Twitter), the
media landscape (news, advertising), commerce (eBay,Amazon)
and the music industry (file sharing, online music stores).-Now,
smartphones and tablets are helping it to spread throughout
ourprofessional and private lives.-Given that daily life is ever
more interactive and networked, and ourcontacts ever more
global, and can expect everyday objects to be moreintelligent
and networked, too.

4. Reference Architecture and the Core Competence for

Business
• The business success in one vertical domain is the key entry
point, butsuccessful architectures will reach out to other
verticals later.
• Only architectures that can cover multiple domains will be
successfulin the long run.

Value Creation from Big Data and

Serialization
• This chapter explores IoT technology as a value creation
capabilityrather than as a cost optimization strategy,
specifically exploring thevalue of data that is collected from
 lOM oAR cPSD| 82 685 65

multiple infrastructures across aproduct lifecycle andwhere the

Auto-ID serialized identifier may serve as a key to
linkingrelevant data to individual products, processes and
related outcomes.
Serialization Role in an ‘Internet of Things’
• Big data in the pharmaceutical industry
• Tracking serialized products
• The value of supply chain data
• Quality by design
• Legal information flows
• Finance flows
• Regulatory oversight
• Product lifecycle management data
• Keeping better track of things

Opinions on IoT Application and Value for

Industry
• At a recent international workshop on IoT application and
value creation for industry, a quick survey was done asking
participants at the workshop on
their opinion on value creation using industry IoT applications.
• The structure of the survey, as shown in Figure 3.24, has asked
on IoT areas of application and expected time evolution,
technologies and challenges.
• The respondents have been form academia,
research,public/governmental and industry.
