INFRASTRUCTURE
Enhanced connectivity
Infrastructure is at the foundation of our entire economy. Highways, power lines, and sewers connect value chains to a global framework. So when those chains go through fundamental changes — IIoT, for instance — the surrounding infrastructure must follow.
Upgrading to modern standards, however, can be a costly affair. The results need to lasts for decades to come, so it’s crucial to consider optimizing efficiency from the start. In this regard, controlling many separate processes from a single, central location offers plenty of benefits. Discover how INDEFF built a process control room for Hoogheemraadschap Rijnland that allowed water treatment to be monitored and controlled in real-time at one location.
Structural weaknesses
Often treated as sink-holes, infrastructure projects are essential to the economy. And since those projects are often funded by government budgets, future-proofing them is a requirement. Proceed with a solid IIoT strategy, or you could encounter:
STAGNATIONEntire economies lean on continued mobility and flexibility. Infrastructure projects need to be carefully planned and timed
SURPRISESPredictive analysis is a bare necessity to combat unpleasant surprises. Especially when infrastructure projects deal with finite resources
CONFUSIONAn overwhelming abundance of data and separate control points make systems overly complicated and unreliable
RIGIDITYChoosing the cheapest, short-term solutions every time leads to flexibility issues in the future. Infrastructure around the world needs innovation
Rely on a strong core
A solid infrastructural framework boosts both societal and economic activities. And to make sure that the foundations remain solid, you need to strive for these goals:
INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONSCreate a library of reusable components to unlock new levels of centralized information management
IIOT-POWERED SMART GRIDSPublic transport, power grids or waste management: today’s growing urbanization requires complex networks. And they need to be safe, sustainable and on time
CENTRALIZED DATA AND CONTROLSingle data points facilitate the use of data and analytics. These systems help operators to assess situations faster and react more accurately
MINIMAL ENERGY USAGELimit energy consumption to guarantee your enterprise will be a success in years to come
