The smart factory envisioned by Industry 4.0 hinges on a digital revolution, where Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and other data generated by embedded devices and other manufacturing processes, drive all operations. This data is constantly used by machines to run production on mostly autonomous cycles, alerting manufacturing personnel as and when needed. Enterprises that can leverage data in this way can improve manufacturing uptime and profitability and gain a competitive edge. Today’s lean manufacturing requires seamless task management from factory floor workers, plant managers and beyond. Mobile devices take away the painful chores associated with task management (paper copies in triplicate, anyone?) and deliver powerful processing capabilities on the go. This infographic lays out six ways that mobile devices can modernize task management in manufacturing enterprises. Workers and plant managers can leverage the unique advantages of mobility to modernize task management and improve efficiencies in manufacturing. By delivering computing and data processing on the go, mobile devices anchor the smart factories of tomorrow. Companies that adopt such mobile solutions are poised to gain a competitive advantage today. Read this infographic to learn more about how mobile devices can modernize task management in manufacturing.
