What if… everything is interconnected in HEALTHCARE


Connected hospital

tracking of medical staff & patients


Connected hospital

tracking of medical equipment

TODAY nurses waste 'an hour a shift' finding equipment


Connected hospital

Monitoring of hand-washing

TODAY hand-washing only occurs 55% of the time


Connected hospital

up-to-date electronic health record

TODAY lack of access to patient info ➔ loss of valuable time ➔ errors of medication


Connected patient remote monitoring

smart pill box

improved discharge management


What if… everything is interconnected in MANUFACTURING


Connected factory

check tolerance variations self-tuning self-diagnosis forecast maintenance

improved machine performance through local sensing


Connected factory

improved manufacturing process through global data analysis

The main reason for inefficiency is the lack of real time and coherent factory floor data being made available


Connected factory TODAY: 30%-50% of maintenance euros are wasted through ineffective maintenance management

build predictive models for maintenance

“if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”


Connected factory

remote configuration & real-time decision making

higher staff productivity & job satisfaction


Interoperability?
