Abstract

For me as a layman, this Lightning Talk is for the purpose of capturing keywords and major categories. Looking at the wording in the industrial field, the film mainly reads the slides. For those who are already in progress, you don’t need to watch this session. For those who have not yet, you can skip to the end to find a suitable partner to get started faster.

You can consider referring to this official blog article “Connected Factory Solution based on AWS IoT for Industry 4.0 success”, basically the same content, you can take time to watch other sessions.

Introduction

  • Data drives manufacturing transformation
    • By consistently leveraging the value of industrial data, manufacturers can:
      • Reduce product development costs by up to 50%
      • Reduce operating costs by up to 25%
      • Increase gross margins by 1/3
    • Average impact customers are seeing:
  • Implementation challenges
    • Multiple devices (PLCs, SCADAs, RTUs)
    • Multiple protocols
    • OT integration into devices from applications does not scale
    • Lack of single source of truth of data
    • Inconsistent interfacing with OT
    • Systems for similar output
    • Scalability challenges
    • Note: OT = Operational technology
    • Multiple protocols (Note: sort of survey result, from high percentage to low)
      • None
      • Modbus
      • Don’t Know
      • CAN
      • Industrial Protocol (Ethernet/IP…)
