IoT and Mobile Devices go Hand-in-Hand
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is about more than just “things”, more than connecting and collecting huge volumes of data from millions of sensors. Its full business value is derived from connecting things, people and systems, gaining deeper insights from the analysis of the data obtained from these connections and executing better business decisions based on this insight; all done in a very timely manner.
At the upcoming Energy Conference Network’s IoT in Oil & Gas summit in Houston, Sept. 16-17, 2015, Microsoft and several of our partners will be presenting how the Azure IoT Suite is delivering value to some of the largest oil and gas customers, by enabling more efficient business processes, greater productivity, safety and reliability. During the conference, Aegex will be showcasing its Windows-based industrial tablets, purpose-built for hazardous environments such as oil and gas, mining and chemical operations.
The availability of intrinsically safe tablets capable of safely and securely running the full gamut of enterprise applications fills a technology gap in this industry, that being, to fully equip the right people with the right information at the right time, in any location – including a potentially hazardous one. This incremental connectivity of people, things and systems will increase the productivity of all field personnel, including operations, maintenance and engineering, by providing timely and actionable information-driven insights about equipment and production, generated by IIoT and other business systems.
Under current cost-cutting market conditions, coupled with increasing compliance requirements and decreasing levels of workforce experience, Operational Excellence practices are imperative. To be market leaders, especially in these challenging times, enterprises must employ innovative solutions to attain new levels of collaboration, operations insight, business process efficiency and knowledge management in order to uncover the best business actions. By leveraging existing systems and intelligently deploying these breakthrough hardware and software technologies, oil and gas companies of any size can become more productive, agile, and achieve greater returns from existing assets, without increasing risks.
