BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HCL
Technologies, a leading global technology company, and PTC, an
industry leader in augmented reality and IoT, today announced a
pioneering Internet of Things (IoT) solution – Realtime Manufacturing
Insights (RMI) – for the discrete manufacturing industry. The solution
was launched at LIVEWORX 19, which is the definitive event for digital
transformation for the enterprise and marketplace for solutions
engineered for a smart, connected world.
RMI is a significant business enabler for Industry 4.0 manufacturing
organizations that face a need to have near real-time visibility into
the availability, performance, and quality of any given tool, equipment,
or machine that is part of the manufacturing process. In addition, it
provides enhanced insights, such as role-based visualization, drill-down
functionality, alerts, trends, downtime, and data analytics.
“The Fourth Industrial Revolution has ushered the manufacturing industry
into an era of mass customization, digital products and services, and
higher efficiency. With RMI, we aim to support manufacturing companies
in reducing downtime, inventory carrying costs, and maintenance costs by
enabling real-time visibility and analysis into the manufacturing
process, tools, and machines. This solution is a key addition to our
robust portfolio that will help manufacturing organizations realize true
business value from their IoT led transformation investments,” said
Sukamal Banerjee, Corporate Vice President, and Head, IoT WoRKSTM,
HCL Technologies.
RMI is a robust solution that leverages PTC’s ThingWorx® industrial
IoT and Kepware® industrial connectivity platforms to deliver
an interactive experience layer that enables manufacturing stakeholders
to operate, manage, and decide based on near real-time data insights
using the latest artificial intelligence and machine learning
techniques. It provides real-time predictive visibility of processes,
assets, materials, tools, and logistics equipment across the process
chain that enable users to derive insights that enable them to increase
productivity and reduce costs.
RMI integrates with more than 100 south-bound manufacturing protocols,
and enables users to transform operational data into a fully
configurable and customizable data structure that makes the solution
extendable beyond operational information, such as energy data
management.
“The industrial marketplace is at an inflection point where effectively
leveraging disruptive digital technologies can alter the future
competitive landscape,” said Howard Heppelmann, General Manager of
Connected Operations Solutions, PTC. “We are thrilled to be
collaborating with HCL to bring breakthrough service offerings to the
market as we remain committed to guiding and supporting industrial
enterprises through the realization of step-change improvements for a
competitive marketplace advantage.”
