When it comes to industry-specific KPIs ( key performance indicators ), Verma adds that these are important to the way that the manufacturing industry works . Working on a set of KPIs , allows manufacturers to be data-driven in their work , as they know that quality work is being produced . “ So , as I was saying before , industryspecific persona and the KPIs of a particular industry or subindustry is quite important . Generally speaking , people in the industry talk about manufacturing as one holistic industry area . But when you start breaking it down and consider industries such as mining , medtech , food and beverage , agriculture , paint and chemicals - all of these industries come under the manufacturing umbrella , although they don ' t always adhere to the same KPIs . This is why industries need their own specific KPIs , and we need to adhere to these KPIs rather than reinvent them ,” continues Verma .
Adding to Verma ’ s comments Mudford says , “ This is an area we pride ourselves on . A lot of solutions are trying to squeeze
“ We can use IoT technologies to reduce catastrophic failure , which means we can predict failures in advance , and the maintenance schedules can be optimised ”
