Caterpillar Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) Deployment Generates Rapid Operational Insights and Business Impact

Caterpillar's Advanced Component Manufacturing Division has been engaged in rapid-deployment of IIOT technology. A pilot/proof-of-concept approach enabled visibility of key process operation data, which was directly connected to the FactoryTalk InnovationSuite ThingWorx platform, opening the possibility of advanced analytics and process automation on a scale not previously achieved. Valuable insights learned to date include: practical deployment know-how, creating an inclusive culture leading to rapid innovation, and partnering with IIOT solution providers to leverage knowledge and expertise. The pilot is part of an on-going IIOT journey and has delivered real business value right from inception.

Takeaways:
  • Invest the time up front identifying the business case and value – gain leader alignment and approval
  • Formalize collaboration between IT and OT groups – both must understand the vision and need
  • Reinforce IT/OT partnership – both teams were part of the tactical implementation
  • Key IIOT solution partner identified – leverage their knowledge and experience to guide you
  • Cross functional focus – process, technical and business expertise is needed
