Industry 4.0
Asset Intelligence is made possible by embedding a range of sensors in the tracking and monitoring hardware, so, in addition to location you can also collect data on temperature, humidity, air quality, pressure, vibration, acidity and pretty much any environmental measure.
The benefits gained from this intelligence will differ from one business to the next, depending on their processes, materials and manufactured product. However, one common application is the optimisation and smoothing of asset utilisation, ensuring you have the correct number of any duplicate assets and tools and that they are receiving equal usage. It can also provide predictive maintenance alerts, enabling correct servicing before any failure or loss of efficiency.
But it’s not enough to just capture environmental data. It’s only useful if it’s accessible and used to make manufacturing decisions in real time. A criticism often levelled at ‘Big Data’ is that it’s just being stored and businesses don’t know how to make sense of it. Asset Intelligence becomes useful when it includes effective integrations, alerts and communications between devices, systems and humans. The ultimate aim for Asset Intelligence in Industry 4.0 is to support fully automated real-time optimisation of processes, something that is not too far into the future.
