30. The Internet of Things
IIoT Implementations / Architectures 10 Key Aspects
• Agility (enabling real-time business decisions – real-time aggregated data for applications, historical
data, fast write speeds, CEP front end)
• Value-driven (preserving and extending value props – no “business normalization” but
encapsulating complexity, allowing to focus on core …)
• Openness (Open & Industry Standards based in technology, architecture, ecosystem and attitude,
IT-centric by design, no-vendor lock-in by proprietary in approach and technology)
• Flexibility (supporting diversity – down to the edge – HW, SW, type of applications, business
models)
• Versatility (“No-Silo-Approach” – readiness for current and future requirements – ESB for machines
concept – integration of field and IT applications without creating dependencies – different from “classic
telemetry”
• TCO-focused (including development, deployment, management, infrastructure, communication,
investment protection, future-proving, certifications)
• Security (complete approach in architecture and elements)
• Validation (continuous testing, validation, feedback and improvement ensured, strong ecosystem )
• Scalability (not just up but “out”, volume and diversity)
• Completeness (End-to-End complete OT stack, IT/OT integration, security, flexibility and efficiency
requires holistic approach, operating system for the IoT / IIoT)

31. The Internet of Things
• IT centric, open and standards based M2M /IIoT
connectivity platforms as building blocks for extending the
enterprise IT
• Implementation of “Enterprise Service Bus for Machines”
architectures to allow an easy integration of different
device data systems and applications
• Software-defined Gateway approach to integrate and
consolidate data streams and future proof investments
• IT centric application development to implement business
logic in smart edge devices / service gateways
• Off the shelf general purpose and purpose built devices
(and CPU Boards) designed to meet vertical market value
propositions

34. Industry 4.0

35. Opportunities and benefits
made possible by massive volumes of data from connected
products, and the increased ability to make automated decisions
and take actions in real time.
The key business opportunities will be found in four major areas:
• Vastly improved operational efficiency
• The emergence of an outcome economy
• New connected ecosystems
• Collaboration between humans and machines
35

36. Power of just one percent
• The benefits from this marriage of machines and analytics are
multiple and significant.
• We estimate that the technical innovations of the Industrial
Internet could find direct application in sectors accounting for
more than $32.3 trillion in economic activity.
• As the global economy grows, the potential application of the
Industrial Internet will expand as well.
• By 2025 it could be applicable to $82 trillion of output or
approximately one half of the global economy.

through predictive maintenance, and achieving
results such as :
-savings on scheduled repairs (12%),
-reduced maintenance costs (nearly 30%)
-fewer breakdowns (almost 70%)

45. Key research findings (WEF-ACCENTURE)
• Our research concludes that the Industrial Internet is indeed
transformative.
• It will change the basis of competition, redraw industry
boundaries and create a new wave of disruptive companies, just
as the current Internet has given rise to Amazon, Google and
Netflix.
• However, the vast majority of organizations are still struggling to
understand the implications of the Industrial Internet on their
businesses and industries.
• For these organizations, the risks of moving too slowly are real.
