…in addition to AR and VR deployments from GE, Boeing, and Honeywell, among others, demonstrate this growing momentum, though the aforementioned challenges are hindering scalability. “The enormous benefits that wireless technologies can help achieve, including predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, big data analytics, more flexible workforces, efficiency improvements, safety enhancements, and many others will combine to produce increasing financial and production incentives that cannot be avoided,” said Zignani. “Wired technologies are simply not adequate to address all the multifaceted needs of the varied devices that will make up the IIoT and will be far too costly to implement. However, in order…

…successfully implemented at enterprise-level scale. The first customer was Boeing – the world’s leading aerospace company. Tapestry implemented ESI across 50 Boeing plants, including the Everett factory, the largest manufacturing facility in the world. In the process, ESI has saved Boeing $100 million in the first year alone. So How does ESI Work? Through data fusion, ESI connects multiple sensors, devices, and systems into a single integration platform. Because it is “sensor agnostic,” supply chain visibility is not completely dependent on one manufacturer or sensor type. This ensures total asset visibility of equipment, tools, cargo, and processes anywhere in the…

…vice president of production management and a veteran of Boeing, NASA and Apple. “It sorts batches into individual orders and does so at speeds that are faster than human operators.” Why a putwall? Williams says that putwalls are areas that are very manual and labor intensive, and, that the Kindred solution is flexible and scalable. “It’s very easy to remove an existing putwall and drop in one of our cells. You can pilot it quickly to prove the solution and determine if there is an ROI.” Williams says that Kindred uses advanced artificial intelligence to teach the robot how to…
