As Moret described, the positive outcomes associated with IoT
will continue to accelerate as organizations progress from pilot or
proof-of-concept IoT projects to scalable IoT deployments.
According to the Global IoT Decision Maker Survey published by
International Data Corporation (IDC), nearly one-third (31 percent)
of those surveyed have already launched IoT solutions, and another
43 percent are looking to deploy solutions in the next 12 months.
Rockwell Automation is seeing a similar trend in its deployment of
IoT solutions, and continues to increase its number of pilots
across industries, applications and geographies.
“Manufacturers and industrial operators are discovering
practical ways to apply IoT across their operations, and they’re
deriving measurable business value as a result,” Moret said.
“Combining IoT technology and expertise in specific industrial
applications enables better collaboration, faster problem-solving
and increased productivity.”
Moret referenced several factors driving the adoption of
industrial IoT and connected operations, including lower cost of
computing and connectivity, and the convergence of information
technology and operations technology.
Moret explained how a connected enterprise that adopts IoT
technologies can generate better insight into industrial operations
and deliver greater value by providing the right information at
every level of their business through scalable analytics. He cited
Great Lakes Brewing Co. as a Rockwell Automation customer that is
adopting scalable analytics to improve visibility and productivity
for different parts of their operations.
The 2017 IoT World Forum explores the impact of IoT on business,
technology and society. As strategic partners, Rockwell Automation
and Cisco have long collaborated on industrial networking and
security solutions required for industrial digital transformation.
Together, they help manufacturers improve business performance by
bridging the technical and cultural gaps between plant-floor and
higher-level information systems.
“We have great technology, good people and a strong culture, but
another component that sets us apart from our competitors is our
ability to partner with companies such as Cisco. Together, we
deliver expertise and solutions for highly secure, smooth
connectivity from the plant floor to the enterprise network,” said
Moret.
