Extracting Value from the

Industrial Internet of Things

How are collaborative robots and

human-machine interaction

transforming the manufacturing

process?

I think human-machine interactions

are fundamentally transforming the

manufacturing process. On the one

hand, machines are becoming more

and more sophisticated, they are

connected and they produce more

and more data. On the other,

workers need to have the tools and

the means to use the information for

providing the best man-machine

interface and engagement in the

best way, to make the data useful

and impactful for the workers in the

field.

What are the benefits of the

connected workforce for

manufacturing firms?

The biggest impact of the connected

workforce is the tremendous amount

of data that they have to use and

process in the field. Providing the

right man-machine interface is a

way to extract the information for the

right decisions to be made to

support the connected workforce so

they can have the best impact on

the manufacturing process. One

example is situational awareness, it

is the ability to sort all of the different

information available to the workers,

the specific information and alarms

for example that have an impact on

the safety of the process.

What will the world of

manufacturing look like in 2025?

I believe that by 2025 manufacturing

processes will be more efficient.

They will be more efficient because

we will be able to leverage all of the

information available on the

connected processes. But they will

also be more sustainable because

by combining all of this information

together, we will be able to establish

the best balance the between

efficiency and sustainability.
