  • 1.  Industry 4.0, the dilemmas of smart systems and overall reliability

    Posted 06-10-2022 03:59 PM
    In the light of Industry 4.0 revolution, the Industrial Internet of Things (lloT) allows digitalizing manufacturing processes and increasing the digital connectivity and automation in smart factories and industrial systems. The reliability of a system is considered as a key performance indicator that defines how accurately and perfectly the system works. Ensuring reliability in the lloT systems exposes several challenges due to the presence of uncertain and dynamics in the industry environment as well as the complex nature of industrial systems. While there are no standard frameworks proposed and applied for the IloT systems with multiple reliability levels, as professionals how do we overcome these challenges to achieve the overall system management (interoperability, reliability, network performance (profinet) & security, scalability, maintenance).

    Hi Abel,

    Thanks for posting this. There are several resources in defining a framework and one of them is ReliabilityWeb's Uptime Elements Digitalization Strategy Framework. While there are several components to ensuring the security and success of any IIOT program, the solutions and respective partners should be involved to identify the right solution for the need. The industrial market has many flavors and selecting the right flavor involves time and resources to ensure value retention. One additional thought to keep in mind is as technology changes the needs will change. What was not possible yesterday is possible today.
