Energy consumption bills have been a major focus in virtually all areas of industry for many years, and the current global situation is a factor driving up demand for solutions that make it easier to monitor energy consumption or save energy.
In an industrial environment, where the cost of utilities has always been one of the main business drivers, the latest twists and turns in the global economy: inflation, natural resources supply challenges and the threat of fluctuating and unpredictable increases in energy costs – are arguably the most important economic factors these days.

The concept associated with Industry 4.0 is Smart Factory – in other words “intelligent factory”. This type of plant is based on integrated systems with the use of the industrial Internet of Things and new methods of production organization. It is intended to enable a high level of product personalization and run production processes with minimal labor input.
The idea and activities within Smart Industry allow companies to shift market competition from offering a simple product to providing value-added products and competing with process excellence. This applies to cooperation with potential customers from the stage of virtual product design, through simulations, production optimization and real-time monitoring, to after-sales service.

The ubiquitous fourth industrial revolution, named Industry 4.0, is now one of the fastest growing IoT markets. The digital transformation journey is more than bragging about smart innovations and gadgets. It’s often one of the best solutions for dealing with serious bottlenecks in the industry, such as frequent downtime and complete shutdowns of production lines. ThingWorx, as part of Industry 4.0 and the rich catalog of tools supporting it, is a comprehensive IoT product that enables the rapid creation and development of IoT solutions. Combining ThingWorx’s capabilities with AWS cloud can add new features to these solutions. Having ThingWorx running in the cloud (Connector) translates into, among other things, the ability to preprocess IoT data before it even enters ThingWorx. This feature is particularly useful for real-time data, which could otherwise overwhelm ThingWorx if sent directly to it.

The cloud is not on-premise, which means that IT purchases don’t happen according to a strategic plan, but immediately when the architect provisions new resources in the cloud. So how to deal with excessive costs in the AWS cloud? The first and quick solution is cost optimizations, which start by analyzing the accounts and seeing which and how AWS cloud services are used. Based on this, recommendations are made for optimization measures. These actions are part of the long-term adoption of the FinOps culture, which engages finance, technology, and business together to build a process of continuous cloud cost control in the organization.

Discover the game-changing power of predictive maintenance! Forbes and numerous reports agree that it’s a must-know trend for Industry 4.0 in 2022. Imagine having advanced analytics and AI-based forecasting at your fingertips, enabling you to prevent costly breakdowns and optimize your manufacturing processes.

The cloud is a key success factor in digital transformation. It provides companies with many decisive advantages. However, the prerequisite for this is the right cloud strategy. The interview with Christian Thiem, Senior Business Analyst at TT PSC Germany GmbH, covers questions such as: What needs to be considered in the roadmap to the cloud? What strategies can be adopted for the implementation?
