Executive Summary
The concept of linking all sorts of things to the internet – from industrial controls to rail car tracking to wind farm turbines – is still fairly new, but it’s already making a major
impact in manufacturing, utilities and other mechanized operations. In a little more than a decade, the IoT has gone from a loose plan for many industrial operations to an
important element in day-to-day operations.
Getting from a lightly sketched plan to a fully implemented IoT system is a major undertaking, so companies want to be sure the rewards are worth the effort and expenditure.
Siemens and Machine Design surveyed those who have done much of the work – the engineers and managers who created the strategies and turned them into reality. We
polled technical staffs from a broad range of companies to find out how their implementations had panned out, looking at how their companies gained, and how their
operations changed.
Our research shows that even in these early stages of implementation, the benefits of IoT implementation are significant. Many said that making the changes didn’t require
major changes or large capital expenditures. But the paybacks for these efforts are many. More than half the survey respondents say they’ve seen major improvements in
areas like data analytics and production efficiency. And roughly two-thirds (68%) of the survey participants said their companies had been able to make their operations run
leaner. Executing an IoT program also brought significant improvements in maintenance and productivity. Half the implementers saw an increase in production output. A
similar percentage (49%) were able to create new maintenance schedules, improving the efficiency of their upkeep and repair programs.
Many also trimmed their downtime, making changes that are likely to enhance the company’s bottom line. Respondents also said that there’s a strong link between reduced
downtime and improved productivity. A solid 23% said they were able to start new production runs based on maintenance reports. Those benefits can extend well beyond
the facility walls. Many respondents said they routinely check on operations when they’re away from the plant. Perhaps more importantly, improved communications with
customers was a very common benefit, with 75% saying the quality of their interactions with customers improved.
Deploying this disruptive technology doesn’t require the high level of capital expenditure as many upgrades. Substantially more than three of four
survey participants said that only a partial redesign of internet/Ethernet systems was required. Slightly over half (52%) said they didn’t have to upgrade
their legacy systems. Equally impressive, extra personnel weren’t needed. Most implementations and ongoing operations were made without
substantial additions to their staffs. Nearly half the companies didn’t hire any new employees, and those that added personnel added four or fewer
employees.
All in all, respondents paint a positive picture of IoT. It’s a technology that can bring solid benefits without requiring huge capital investments or large
staff expansions. Leveraging the power of the World Wide Web can transform a company’s operations, setting the stage for continuing increases in
efficiency and improved connection with customers.
