In this section, we will discuss some of the IIoT use cases and the analytics needed for measuring the outcomes. Some of them are common and are used across industries including mining, aviation, oil and gas, power, healthcare, and semiconductors, and can be broadly classified into areas such as asset performance, operations optimization, and supply chain management.
In general, enterprises measure the performance of plants and run them efficiently by monitoring the health of the equipment, as well as business needs and targets. The following are some of the measures that provide an ability to get an insight into plant performance and efficiency:
- Asset reliability and availability
- Monitoring mission-critical events
- Reducing unplanned downtime
- Optimization of the manufacturing process
- Optimization of fleet operations
