Sensor Integration and Onboarding Processes

Wolfgang Möller, our Global Director Discrete Industries and Internet of Things, had the chance to talk to three international IoT Architects from itelligence. The topic was how to match different IoT ecosystems in organizations. The full round table discussion is splitted up into four interesting video snippets covered in the following blog series.

Welcome to part two of our blog series “Matching Different IoT Ecosystems”. Part one was about the challenges and opportunities of vertical and horizontal integration of business processes and the need for high-performance IoT scenarios. Today’s issue will handle the next step: Sensor Integration and Onboarding Processes. What is next in line when your different ecosystems are matched? How will you onboard and integrate your physical things into your network, e.g., machines, wearables, or devices? I had a discussion with some of my international colleagues about the challenges and trends of sensor integration and onboarding processes.

Integrating Sensors Is Easy

With a view to the discrete manufacturing industries where we are integrating most of the sensors at the moment, we need about six days to set up a proof of concept (PoC) and four hours to integrate data locally. This is an enormous step forward compared to the situation a few years ago, where the amount of manual work was much higher. But looking ahead, I am convinced that the technology of today opens up ways that allow a plug-and-play approach.

Plug-and-Play Is the Future Approach of Onboarding

In a business world where “Time is money” is not just a phrase, the main challenge is to onboard sensors and physical things as fast as possible. Imagine a scenario where you are attaching new things to your IoT ecosystem by pushing the “Connect” button. What seems to be intuitively easy is not the standard today. But it should be! With a closer look into the SAP universe we can see that they are working hard on this issue. This year they presented the new SAP Leonardo portfolio.

One layer of this portfolio is the SAP Leonardo Foundation which is divided into technical and business services. This is where the Thing Modeler is located. This tool simplifies onboarding processes and makes it easy to create a digital twin out of physical things (devices, machines, and wearables).

Customers Have a Rough Understanding of What They Would Like to Achieve

What’s the situation in most businesses? We at itelligence experience that most customers have a rough understanding of what they would like to achieve. They are aiming to give their ideas wings now, and they need a technical solution.

  • The Key Driver Behind an IoT Strategy

    Who is the key driver of the Internet of Things in your company? Change never comes without someone pushing it into an organization. You need people with visions and ideas, and of course, people who have the power to bring about change. I put this question to the IoT architects in my expert round: “Who is driving the IoT strategy?”

  • Think Outside the Box with Design Thinking

    While the first and second parts of this blog series discussed the current status of IoT strategies and different approaches to transforming business models, I have chosen “Design Thinking” for this post. This method makes you look outside the box to find innovative solutions for your customers. IoT involves people in many disciplines, and Design Thinking brings them and their expertise together.

  • How IoT is Transforming Business Models

    This blog series addresses the elements of an Internet of Things (IoT) strategy. I discuss topics such as the importance and status of the IoT across industries, transformation of business models, Design Thinking, and people as the main driver of the IoT.

  • Bring Your Things to Life - the Mixed Reality Use Case

    Discussions about digitalization and IoT often disregard tangible scenarios. By setting up this “Bring Your Things to Life with itelligence” blog series, Wolfgang Möller, our Global Director Discrete Industries and Internet of Things, want to inspire you with use cases we created within itelligence IoT labs. In this first article you can read how mixed reality brings benefits to your business.

  • Bring Your Things to Life - the Digital Twin Scenario

    I am on a mission to reveal the benefits of IoT and to encourage customers to take the first step. In my first blog in the series, I described the mixed reality use case for service technicians. This one deals with the digital twin as applied to the product lifecycle management of a warehouse. We will have a look at all parties involved: the manufacturer, the operator and the maintenance provider.
