SMART MANUFACTURING
Challenges for IoT Adoption in Manufacturing
Challenge 1 : Security This is a top concern for all industries , not just manufacturing . More connected devices equal more attack risks . Cellular technology outperforms other connectivity technologies as it has a built-in security mechanism based on the proven 3GPP standards . Plus , our global IoT Accelerator platform has a global core network that has built-in security solutions around threat detection and mitigation and traffic analysis , ensuring we prioritise security for our enterprise customers and telecom service provider partners .
“ One of IoT ’ s great strengths is that it generates huge amounts of data which can then be used to make smarter decisions ”
DAVID SIMS , SOLUTIONS SALES SPECIALIST , DYNABOOK EUROPE
Challenge 2 : ROI Businesses need to justify investments and realise returns , and to that end , we have developed business calculators to help enterprises quantify the benefits of IoT so they can embrace change with confidence : Manufacturing calculator . For instance , we can demonstrate that the payback period for using AR in manufacturing is less than three years .
Challenge 3 : Technology Fragmentation Technology fragmentation with many moving parts to consider , including chipsets , devices , networks , platforms , applications – all of which need to be orchestrated appropriately with simplicity and governance . As this environment scales , having simple and API-driven capabilities to manage this ecosystem is where Ericsson ’ s IoT platform is focused .
