Now is the Time to Digitize Your Operations

  

More business decisions are driven by data these days than ever before. As companies upgrade to digitized operations, big data analytics provide critical insights to overcome challenging market conditions, which drives more significant business growth. Investing in digitization equips organizations with beneficial technologies streamlining every aspect of the business, such as:

• operational efficiency
• cost-efficiency
• supply chain efficiency
• inventory management
• asset management
• process management
• team management
• risk management
• downtime management
• regulatory compliance
• employee accuracy
• production uptime

Bringing real-time connectivity to industrial operations allows organizations to utilize the power of data to optimize efficiency, productivity, downtime, and safety, ultimately driving business success and expansion.

Revolutionizing Industrial Operations with the Power of Data

Big Data is the backbone of the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, presently transforming industrial operations. Industry 4.0, explained in an article from business2community.com, "is entirely based on the vision to enable automated decision-making processes, monitoring assets, and equally real-time connected networks and processes. It's a connected environment of people, services, processes, systems, Big Data, and IoT-enabled assets of the industry." Employees in Zone 1 environments can't switch from conventional pen and paper methods to digitization via traditional mobile computing devices. Standard smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices can create sparks leading to a potentially catastrophic detonation. Only purposely built intrinsically safe devices are certified for equipping employees with digital technologies that can streamline and even revolutionize their potentially explosive work environments.
