>> Hi. My name is Olivier Bloch.
I'm the PM in the Azure Light Edge team
and I wanted to share with you a series of
short videos we put together to illustrate how
Microsoft can help you in your Industrial IoT project.
This 12 part series,
breaks out's everything you need
to know about Industrial IoT at Microsoft.
We start with setting up the stage,
explaining a fictitious scenario with
a fictitious company called Parnell Aerospace and
we show how they can leverage
Microsoft Technologies to go through their digital transformation.
I hope you enjoy the series. Let's get started now.
This is the first part of our mini series about industrial IoT.
In this one, we will talk about
the main issues that customers are facing
in that realm and what are
the key business outcomes they're looking into.
That's we're using a fictitious customer called Parnell Aerospace.
Let's look at what they want to do.
Manufacturers are pressured to innovate and digitally
transform in order to keep up with the rapid pace of the markets.
Competition, supply chain, resources,
worker shortage and productivity requirements.
However, digital transformation and IoT, for that matter,
in manufacturing require companies to fundamentally
change their business models and operations, modernize processes,
highlight processes assets and worker inefficiencies,
and give managers and frontline workers
alike the tools they need to be more productive.
I want to show you how
Microsoft's Industrial IoT platform can help
manufacturers transition into this new era of the digital.
I want to frame the demo that will
follow by discussing the main and common challenges with
see customers facing and then describe
our vision for a Microsoft Cloud for manufacturing.
Introduce a customer scenario with
specific expected business outcomes,
the technical approach and show how with some demonstration,
the value of the Microsoft Cloud for
manufacturing can be put into action.
There are many customers work with us,
share similar technical challenges
when digitally transforming their businesses.
Assets, connectivity and management at scale is top of mind.
They have existing infrastructures that
we call brownfield that they need to get connected.
They need to have these assets connected
alongside the new ones that have been added recently.
They also are implementing
new layer networks that ensure security across
the IT and OT world and we need to provide tools that
allow them to traverse the different layers of these networks.
They need to have a unified control plan as well.
That's something that they already have
in IoT infrastructure to manage servers and
PCs and they want to
have something that allows them to
control these new set of assets,
which are the individual ones.
You're a newly connected in the same way.
Security is paramount how do you monitor and make sure that
OT infrastructure is not
putting all the IT infrastructure at risk.
Assets, life cycle management
is something that is critical as well for them.
A second aspect that is challenging in the manufacturing world
is that new world where OT and IT are merging or getting together.
They need to synergize IoT insights was incumbent IT and OT data.
Data are available in silos and you need
to reconcile them and implement reach analytics and that.
Workflows and processes need to be
automated to keep up with a piece of the market.
Supply chains, as we're seeing these days,
are not that resilient.
They need to have a new view,
a new visibility into
chip supply chains and access to data from their vendors,
from their customers to their customers as
well to ensure that these supply chains are more resilient.
Last but not least, Frontline Morpheus,
which is the core of everyone's business,
needs to be empowered through operations modernization.
We need to be able to digitally model,
visualize, analyze, explore,
simulate and predict assets and processes to drive
analytics insights delivered to the workforce at all level,
whether we're talking about operators
or plant managers or business people.
Through our experiences with thousands of manufacturing customers,
engagements with depicted here
a fictitious amalgam of attributes from
real world customers in order to optimize
the flow of this demonstration to the most typical scenario.
Here we're talking about Parnell Aerospace that produces parts for
the aerospace industry was factories
across the US and customers across the world.
They are facing the typical business kill
growing pains as
their market opportunity expense just good for them.
They need to meet that challenge by
modernizing existing plants, brownfields,
while paving the runway for current year and
future expanded operations globally.
After auditing their operations,
they determined the following top priorities.
Implement a better and faster way to resolve
product quality issues as customers regularly report
product defects and the actual manual way
of resolving these issues cannot support the business growth.
They need to improve workflows and processes across
O.T and IT reconciling data from the two worlds.
They need to solve for
expertise shortage in equipment, maintenance technicians.
The tribal knowledge has been established around sea machines,
maintenance and servicing is
not something that can withstand growth.
They need to be able to train new personnel on these equipments.
All of that needs to be
pursued while establishing and attaining new sustainability goals,
improving their energy consumption,
reducing the toxic waste generated by
the production of corrosion resistant parts.
They decided to modernize and digitalize their factory,
integrate their IT and OT infrastructures,
to streamline processes and workflows and empower the workforce,
implementing remote monitoring,
service and diagnostics with IoT connectivity.
The key outcomes they'll be pursuing are the following.
Operational and assets visibility,
Product quality and Customer service,
Production operations and maintenance,
Automation safety and sustainability.
We'll look at each of these business outcomes and how they
can achieve what they want with the Microsoft IoT platform.
Part of aerospace they have evaluated
very solutions and decided to follow the Microsoft Cloud for
manufacturing recommendation and use Microsoft's array of
package business capabilities to meet their needs at scale,
to while helping them modernize and
manage new and existing applications across the globe.
