This has an impact beyond just technical data; it can completely reshape a plant\u2019s maintenance schedule to reduce costs, maximise uptime and minimise risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, it\u2019s now possible to use digital twinning to create virtual representations of physical assets that draw from current and historical data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese twins allow engineers to remotely view how a piece of equipment is performing and when maintenance is required, but we\u2019re also at a point where predictive analytics can be incorporated into this. This allows the system itself to identify trends and predict when maintenance is necessary, reducing planned downtime to an efficient minimum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just one example of intelligent analytics and algorithms in maintenance that plant managers can begin investing in today. As our whitepaper explores, platforms such as Predix by GE Digital incorporate machine learning algorithms into the core platform itself, which can analyse the vast amounts of generated data far more efficiently than any human worker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEngineers can use this to make truly impactful process improvements that can add value to the business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Novotek\u2019s whitepaper is designed to provide an immediate benefit to plant managers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the company, many businesses are still under the impression that the IIoT is a distant concept that is not yet practical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiscussions around modern industrial automation and digitalisation are always very forward-looking,\u201d continued Walker. \u201cWhile businesses should create a digitalisation roadmap for the future, it\u2019s important we don\u2019t overlook the technologies that exist today. Plant managers don\u2019t need to wait to begin seeing the benefits of industrial automation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Engineers and plant managers interested in achieving more from digitalisation and automation can download Novotek\u2019s whitepaper <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2op6WJQ\">HERE<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many countries around the world are introducing initiatives aiming to achieve industrial digitalisation in the next 10\u201315 years.
