6 production asset management problems
that most businesses face
01
Manual management of machinery and equipment (assets), mostly on paper. Asset operation and maintenance are judged by the operators' senses and experience.
02
03
No automatic notifications or alerts when assets need repair or replacement.
04
Missing or no data for analysis to improve performance, optimize asset operation and eliminate risks… Data is inaccurate and not real-time.
05
Production assets and separate, disconnected management software duplicate data and limit the ability to automate and connect the business's activities.
06
Investment costs and choosing a capable partner to consult on and implement the solution are a major challenge.

Opportunities and context
According to the State of the Market report:
66% of leaders use IoT to measure risk, protect company assets and improve employee safety
60% of leaders are improving the reliability or performance of their products and services with IoT
According to IDC, in 2016 alone the manufacturing industry accounted for USD 102.5 billion (out of USD 178 billion in total IoT revenue). IoT in manufacturing, and IoT solutions for factories in particular, therefore make up the largest share of global IoT development.
IoT solutions
Production operations
Applying the solution to asset management, smart manufacturing, performance optimization and monitoring, automated production planning, human-machine interaction, and production process tracking and reporting.
Production asset management and maintenance
Control performance and optimize asset operations, including monitoring and tracking everything from location to parameters in areas such as quality, performance, potential damage or incidents, bottlenecks…. IoT also improves equipment maintenance with a new approach: predictive maintenance.
Connect data from customer-facing departments such as Marketing and Sales with Production. IoT's rich information network works very well with planning and scheduling tools and brings many positive changes to a company's production operations.

Software
ERP software |
ERP software integrated with IoT devices enables remote connection, control and supervision, visualizing the data flow from production assets and delivering information to users through reports.
Reports with KPIs and parameters customized to management requirements.
Multi-dimensional, automated, real-time reports
Asset operations management
Manage your asset list visually: asset code, name, year of manufacture, year put into service, warranty period, design capacity, vendor...
Provides real-time monitoring information on asset operations: operating hours, asset status, location, capacity, consumption...
Automatic data flows update the system, providing instant, proactive analytical insight.
Asset maintenance management
Sends notifications and alerts when assets need repair or replacement, so operations run continuously or are interrupted only as planned (predictive maintenance).
Automated preventive maintenance: standard statistics help you plan preventive maintenance, including mean time between failures, mean time to repair and the expected date of the next failure. You can also schedule measurements and preventive maintenance automatically.
Major efficiency gains in operations
Many manual tasks are automated: automatic data collection and 24/7 automatic monitoring reduce human involvement in some production and management steps, saving labor costs and improving data accuracy.
Applying a manufacturing execution system (MES) and making full use of real-time monitoring lets the business track the production cycle down to each asset location, improve accuracy, and track and trace, thereby limiting potential risks and incidents...
