Internet Of Things


With a relentless push towards automation in manufacturing processes, it is safe to say that Industry 4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution has arrived. Industry 4.0 has roped in The Internet of Things (IoT) to drive towards the idea of a smart factory. It is a day and age where an ongoing production process involves churning out products with complex BOMs/processes coupled with the dynamic material, supply, and schedule changes. Add to this, the increasing pressures from customers on quality and delivery schedules. A smart factory is a place where such processes are carried out with ease. The product runs are shortened and the delivery time is improved. It’s a place where the traceability is enhanced and the Supply Chain Management is of the highest quality.

To cut the long story short, a smart factory is all about finesse and agility, which point towards an integrated work environment where data is funneled smoothly among different departments. An ERP System seems to be an obvious choice to meet all the integration goals of a smart factory, and why not? Only an ERP System can unify the multiple business processes of an organization, pertaining to Planning, Materials Management, Manufacturing, and Finance, to achieve a comprehensive automation of an enterprise. Thankfully IoT has also greatly helped direct data capture from machines and devising decision support systems has become easier with IoT.
