Hosted on GE’s Predix platform, Clarity represents the first
commercially available solution generated by Pitney Bowes’
collaboration with GE to bring the power of the Industrial Internet
to the production mail industry.
“The Industrial Internet is transforming everything from
aviation to healthcare to oil field and energy services,” said
Yonatan Hagos, GM of Emerging Verticals for GE Digital. “The Pitney
Bowes Clarity solutions suite demonstrates how companies are using
cloud technologies – like the Predix platform – and analytics to
transform their go to market strategy and reinvent their
businesses.”
Many of the world’s leading insurers, telecommunications
companies and financial institutions rely on Pitney Bowes to
process billions of pieces of mail annually. There is an intense
focus on security, speed, accuracy and precision. Faced with
increasing competition and cost pressures, mail operations are
constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and productivity,
and maintain a competitive advantage. By connecting industrial
sensors, machine data, people and processes, the Clarity solutions
suite helps clients access new intelligence to drive higher levels
of operational performance.
“In its simplest form, production mail is about getting the
right information, in the right envelope, to the right customer at
precisely the right time, millions of times each day. It is an
industry measured in tenths-of-pennies and fractions-of-seconds.
Clarity provides our clients with a view of their operations and
our industry on a micro and global level that was never before
visible – from the performance of a specific motor on a single
machine, to the productivity benchmarks of leading print and mail
operations around the world,” said Jason Dies, president, Pitney
Bowes Document Messaging Technologies. “The insights derived from
Clarity allow us to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses in
our clients’ print and mail operations and recommend solutions to
improve both productivity and capability.”
Clarity is a disruptive technology that will help clients
achieve operational excellence. The suite includes three
offerings:
Clarity Advisor offers an intelligent
view into equipment performance to help drive machine efficiency.
It proactively monitors trends and patterns to diagnose and resolve
many issues before they occur resulting in increased runtime
capacity and reduced risk of downtime.
Clarity Optimizer leverages actionable
insights and industry benchmarks to identify an optimal combination
of jobs, machines and operators to help clients improve equipment
performance, operational productivity and capacity.
Clarity Scheduler provides real-time
adaptive scheduling to help clients meet critical service-level
agreements and drive productivity. It learns and becomes more
intelligent over time, linking a range of variables, including
available operators and equipment, jobs in production and planned
downtime into one dynamic schedule.
Clarity will be available on Pitney Bowes production mail
inserting solutions in North America in March, 2016, Europe in Q2
and globally by 2017.
Pitney Bowes is a member of the Industrial Internet Consortium
(IIC). Jason Dies, President of Document Messaging Technologies,
will be discussing Clarity at an IIC public forum on March 17 in
Reston, Va.
Clarity will be on display at drupa2016, the world’s leading
trade show for graphic and industrial print, media and
multichannel, May 31 – June 10 in Dusseldorf, Germany. Attend the
Pitney Bowes press briefing on June 1st at 2:00 p.m. in Room 7A, or
