Information Age: Cognizant’s AVP of Manufacturing and Logistics Says Manufacturers Must Embrace the Internet of Things

“Applying the concept of IoT (Internet of Things) can enable manufacturers to reduce energy consumption, which is traditionally amongst the highest contributors to cost overheads,” explains Rohit Gupta. “IoT-based systems can adjust environmental controls like heating or air conditioning in real-time based on factors such as the local temperature, helping the company run better by optimizing resources and reducing costs.” Excerpts:

“With an IoT set-up, a manufacturer can run not just better, but run very differently….The potential benefits from IoT innovation are contributing to a change in the traditional ‘produce then consume’ model that manufacturers have always followed.

For a long time, IoT was a concept that generated lots of column inches, but had little impact in real-world applications. This is no longer the case. IoT is suddenly everywhere—from thermostats we control from our smartphones, to wristbands that tell our laptops how fit we are and cars that can email their owner when they need a service.

The key benefit IoT can bring is the enablement of ‘informed manufacturing’ where all products, people, processes, and infrastructure involved in the organization can work seamlessly together, sharing information in real-time to create more automated, intelligent, and streamlined processes.”
