The adoption of an Industrial IoT solution by a machine user is a crucial step to remain competitive in an industrial landscape increasingly characterized by uncertainty and variability. Managing data from various company levels allows for obtaining a holistic view of the production process and the bottlenecks, facilitating more informed and timely decisions. Thanks to connectivity and factory data analysis, you get all the insights needed to embark on a path of continuous improvement, reducing costs and increasing the company’s competitiveness.

Why adopt an Industrial IoT solution

We understand your questions

Embarking on a path of digitalization and servitization is a decision-making process that involves a long and complex journey.
Let us clarify some of your doubts.

Concern – Often, interpreting information is a problem, especially when the application is used vertically across all levels of the company.

Solution – MAT has been designed to provide intuitive dashboards and reports, facilitating the understanding of information and enabling informed decisions, regardless of the user’s level of data literacy.

Concern – When considering the adoption of an Industrial IoT platform, one of the client’s main concerns is the cost.

Solution – MAT is a modular solution thanks to its modular structure, which offers the flexibility to start with the bare essentials and then scale with more advanced modules as needed. Additionally, its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model allows you to pay an annual subscription only for the machines that are actually connected.

Concern – Not everyone within the company may have the right mindset and skills to incorporate a new technology like this into their daily operations.

Solution – We provide training and consultancy programs for staff, helping to overcome resistance to change and ensuring rapid adoption of new technologies at all levels of the company.

Concern – Integrating an Industrial IoT solution can be often complicated, particularly when it involves merging with existing systems such as SCADA and MES.

Solution –MAT is designed to integrate and exchange information with external systems, such as existing MES and SCADA. Furthermore, many of our customers have discontinued legacy SCADA or MES solutions, now obsolete and costly to update, in favor of MAT in EDGE mode with JOB EXECUTOR module.

Concern – Connecting machinery to the cloud entails risks of data loss or theft. Worse still, it heightens the risk of cyber attacks on the machines themselves.

Solution – MAT is designed with the cybersecurity-by-design paradigm: periodically, an assessment and penetration test is carried out by a third-party entity, specialized and certified. This ensures that the entire architecture complies with current industrial cybersecurity standards. Lastly, thanks to the multi-cloud architecture, data is always under your direct control.

Concern – My company owns very diverse machines. This makes managing an Industrial IoT platform very inefficient and extracting data from all control systems complex.

Solution – MAT addresses the scalability challenge by offering a flexible and easily integrable solution. Thanks to connectors for all major automation technologies and the support of 40Factory’s application engineers, it is possible to connect any machinery, new or legacy, and create a scalable data model across the entire installed base.
