幾年前，物聯(lián)網(wǎng)的技術(shù)發(fā)展激起了工業(yè)巨頭們的極大興趣——把智能傳感器、網(wǎng)絡(luò)和大數(shù)據(jù)技術(shù)整合在一起，這當(dāng)然是可行的；但是物聯(lián)網(wǎng)真正的潛力、實施和應(yīng)用情形尚不明確，人們只是熱衷于討論物聯(lián)網(wǎng)什么時候才能真正地投入于企業(yè)發(fā)展。但僅僅幾年時間，很多走在前面的制造商在生產(chǎn)實踐中，已經(jīng)大規(guī)模采用物聯(lián)網(wǎng)，物聯(lián)網(wǎng)正在悄悄而穩(wěn)步地重塑現(xiàn)代制造業(yè)生產(chǎn)過程。
At this stage, iot technology is applied to industrial machinery equipment operation management. The enterprise can get real-time data streams about device performance, workload, pressure and many other important variables in real time through the Internet of things. Analyze these data to understand and predict when mechanical equipment needs to be maintained.
航空和化學(xué)等行業(yè)的應(yīng)用案例就是物聯(lián)網(wǎng)實際應(yīng)用的有益嘗試。物聯(lián)網(wǎng)應(yīng)用的路線圖也因為這些案例初步形成。它通常從企業(yè)資產(chǎn)管理（EAM，Enterprise Asset Management）開始，并且沿著可見性和自動化這條線繼續(xù)延伸——智能制造業(yè)的未來由此將更具革命性。

雖然制造業(yè)巨頭們采用不同的方法來實驗和部署物聯(lián)網(wǎng)，但業(yè)界公認(rèn)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)走向成熟的歷程大致需要經(jīng)過四個階段：
企業(yè)資產(chǎn)運行管理階段
這一階段，是把物聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)應(yīng)用于工業(yè)機械設(shè)備運行管理中。企業(yè)可以通過物聯(lián)網(wǎng)實時獲得有關(guān)設(shè)備性能、工作負(fù)載、壓力和許多其他重要變量的實時數(shù)據(jù)流。分析這些數(shù)據(jù)了解和預(yù)測機械設(shè)備何時需要進(jìn)行維護?？梢园褜?dǎo)致設(shè)備故障的因素（包括天氣和溫度等外部因素）關(guān)聯(lián)起來，從而主動安排維護，以避免出現(xiàn)高成本的故障風(fēng)險。

The enterprise can get real-time data streams about device performance, workload, pressure and many other important variables in real time through the Internet of things. Analyze these data to understand and predict when mechanical equipment needs to be maintained.
很多制造企業(yè)都可以參考這樣的成功應(yīng)用案例。Infor EAM 是市場上可配置性最佳的企業(yè)級資產(chǎn)運行管理解決方案。它通過增加可靠性、加強預(yù)測性維護、降低能源消耗以及支持可持續(xù)發(fā)展計劃等方式，讓企業(yè)能夠改善資本資產(chǎn)運行管理。

The enterprise can get real-time data streams about device performance, workload, pressure and many other important variables in real time through the Internet of things. Analyze these data to understand and predict when mechanical equipment needs to be maintained.
一旦把物聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)納入企業(yè)資產(chǎn)管理EAM，從而實現(xiàn)更高目標(biāo)，制造商就可以從容回答以下問題：哪些設(shè)備在不久的將來最有可能需要維護？如何調(diào)整工作負(fù)載以優(yōu)化產(chǎn)出，同時減小壓力？哪些外部因素是導(dǎo)致失敗的主要原因，怎樣才能更好地控制它們？
At this stage, iot technology is applied to industrial machinery equipment operation management. The enterprise can get real-time data streams about device performance, workload, pressure and many other important variables in real time through the Internet of things. Analyze these data to understand and predict when mechanical equipment needs to be maintained.
資產(chǎn)績效優(yōu)化階段
在接下來更激烈的企業(yè)競爭中，企業(yè)資產(chǎn)績效管理的優(yōu)化會進(jìn)一步推進(jìn)。物聯(lián)網(wǎng)的作用不僅能防止故障出現(xiàn)，而且還能確保提高產(chǎn)出。使用物聯(lián)網(wǎng)實現(xiàn)可持續(xù)銷售，企業(yè)將能夠創(chuàng)造新的商業(yè)模式——簽訂能夠確保其產(chǎn)業(yè)資產(chǎn)實現(xiàn)高效增長的合同。

舉例：消費者的汽車輪胎會因為很多原因?qū)е履p，使用物聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)會自動檢查并上傳輪胎磨損的痕跡，而汽車廠商會通過采用Infor的產(chǎn)品生命周期管理軟件（PLM）跟蹤及時傳回的信息進(jìn)行更換等增值服務(wù)。如果執(zhí)行良好，這對于廠商、車主都是雙贏的。
制造商可以使用物聯(lián)網(wǎng)及Infor的產(chǎn)品生命周期管理軟件（PLM）來增加新的收入來源，為他們的投資帶來切實的回報。盈利是最終的關(guān)鍵指標(biāo)，物聯(lián)網(wǎng)帶來的績效將直接與成本節(jié)約和效率相關(guān)聯(lián)。
