Smart connected operations leverage digital technologies across product development, manufacturing, operations, supply chain and service. Connecting these functions together forms a connected enterprise which unites and integrates information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT), resulting in a digital thread of information that spans the entire value chain.
Smart connected operations delivers measurable shareholder value by improving safety, increasing quality and optimizing factory performance.
With smart connected operations, manufacturers can achieve significant financial benefits, including:
Improved OEE
Increased production capacity
Reduced downtime events
Improved labor efficiency
Increased productivity
Reduced maintenance cost
Reduced service call time
Increased asset utilization
Improved energy efficiency
Faster time to market
