This blog post is the first part of a series on the topic of narrowband IoT and the special features that it entails when it comes to data transmission. In this part, I will introduce the technology as well as indicators that speak for or against the use of narrowband IoT.

Imagine the following scenario: manufacturing companies see the suppliers’ stock levels in the system and can say exactly when the delivery will be made, and bottlenecks no longer exist because the required amounts of product have been (re)ordered with the help of predictive monitoring. This will be possible in the future – namely with a self-driving supply chain. I will present this concept in more detail in my blog post.

If machines fail because of faults, the consequences are stress, increased maintenance effort, additional costs for special logistics to meet deadlines, or dissatisfied customers. Remote troubleshooting helps to quickly master this situation. I explain how this works and what advantages this approach offers in this blog post.

Finding patterns in data is a task that keeps data scientists as well as domain experts busy. For companies, data is a critical business asset that adds value. To this end, store floor connectivity plays an essential role. I explain what this is all about in my blog post using a (fictional) example.

Low-code development platforms are becoming increasingly popular with companies because they enable them to create applications independently, even if they have little or no programming knowledge. In my blog post, I’ll describe the origins of low-code, explain how it works and list important considerations for its implementation.

Advances in IoT and other information technologies such as cloud and mobile computing have promoted the digitisation of products. Digital products offer a wide range of opportunities for innovation and high potential for new use cases. While customer centricity is an important consideration, manufacturers should also consider the internal benefits of use cases on the manufacturing side. In my blog post, I explain how we help companies do this.

Mastering variant configuration requires teamwork between designers, software developers and IT specialists. How can this work successfully? Ideally, integrated systems are modular and consist of authoring systems and modelling tools, configurators and frameworks, frontend and backend, workflow engines and integration modules. In this blog post, we take a look behind the scenes of the individual components and present their potential for optimisations.
