of the potential value from Industry 4.0 is captured in the manufacturing sector, leaving behind 70% value
The greatest progress has been made by digital native companies like Google, Facebook and by
companies using location-based services & in retail
30% Only a few manufacturing companies for whom digitization is not the core expertise have been
successful in fully leveraging Industry 4.0 e.g. GE, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari F1, and Union Pacific
Leading companies such as GE & Siemens now see themselves as data companies

1. Many of ideas in this brochure are developed based on the research by McKinsey Global Institute see mckinsey.com/mgi
Note that automation of physical work is not covered in this brochure because Plantys doesn't have expertise in this field.
Industry 4.0 - Opportunity scoping
The opportunities will vary depending upon the type of industry, but it is useful to classify them into 9 major categories to
facilitate the process of generating ideas.
For the manufacturing sector, Plantys recommends using the McKinsey 'Digital Compass' to identify the most
promising Industry 4.0 opportunities.
9 OPPORTUNITY
CATEGORIES
Category Opportunity

20 BEST
PRACTICES
Scoping What will data and analytics be used for? How will the value be measured?
How will the insights drive value?
Focus on 'Journeys' for digitization (both customer & internal). A journey starts at the first
Focus on
interaction & finishes when the task is finished
journeys
Prioritize the top 10 Journeys for implementation
Lean Process For the chosen journey, streamline the business process first, so that non-value
Redesign added steps can be eliminated
Incorporate data and analytics as a core strategic vision. Treat data as competitive
advantage
Run a number of initiatives in parallel. Adopt a test-learn-improve approach with quick
prototyping to deliver fast results
Strategy Work with small teams that should include the client stakeholder who understands the
business problem deeply.
Augment analytics team with outsourced IT & analytics experts (these are in short
supply)
Aim to modify organization behavior by a deploying new workflow software (rather
than a procedural change management program)
IT structure Implement 2-speed IT infrastructure (#1 Fast cloud based for development,
#2 Legacy for operations)
Aim to collect all the data covering customer interactions, supply chains, equipment,
and internal processes.
Data Cleanse & integrate data from multiple sources. Use 'data lakes' if needed
Capture all relevant data - from any source including data that is 'fuzzy'
Process data as close to the source as possible
Don't just try to automate the current manual process, reinvent it. Try to visualize what
could be possible. Run scenario testing to test different business models
Deconstruct &
develop Identify all the processes and break them down to activities & sub-activities
Brainstorm and identify inefficiencies at each stage
Implement programs (SQL, etc.) and machine learning to
o Eliminate manual tasks
o Calculate KPIs
Program
o Automate best practices
o Develop visualizations for insights
Develop insights in near real-time & deliver in user-friendly format
Implement Embed the new model into the organization through the client stakeholder
Industry 4.0 - Plantys Framework
Plantys uses a common development framework that is applicable for any business model (from Financial
Services to Oil & Gas).
The conceptual diagram below shows the architecture, data flows & UI/ UX. A few use cases are also shown.
Key features of this framework are a) automated workflow, b) seamless, 'live' integration of automatically
updated data from various databases with user-entered data, and c) virtually unlimited ability to automate
any best-practice, KPI or standard.

VISUALIZATION Plantys has expertise in developing visualizations using various software packages.
SOFTWARE The choice of software package to use depends on various factors e.g.
For a very rich and complex interactive visualization D3.js is the best choice.
Power BI is very powerful and easy to use, but depending upon client's existing
licensing of Microsoft products, the Power BI software may either be available free of
cost or entail a significant expense.
OUR
APPROACH
Plantys starts with a team discussion involving the client's personnel in order to understand the requirements
and then come up with the best design.
Some features are
Story-telling approach
Selective disclosure of information by drill-down capability
Interactive e.g. ad-hoc pivot table, OLAP, selectable tags & time-range
Self-Service dashboard
Update with live-streaming data
Mobile access
Plantys has developed an extensive library of visualizations. Some of these are based on the best practices
employed in a broad-range of disciplines. Very often there are use-cases where such visualizations are a
perfect fit and add a significant value above the alternative.
(Visualization experts and data scientists are in short-supply globally. Plantys is particularly strong in this area.)

LIBRARY
Big Data Analytics
Plantys leverages advanced analytics techniques such as big data query, machine learning, predictive
analytics, data mining, and natural language processing using Google, Microsoft and IBM platforms.

Server Management
Plantys offers turnkey sever management both in the cloud and on client's premises. Our services include
migration, application installation, backups, disaster recovery and security administration. In all cases, we
offer 24/7 live phone and chat support with customer support ticketing management.
Plantys provides turnkey Cloud Solutions from most major providers including Google, Amazon, Microsoft,
Rackspace and Digital Ocean. Services include design, deployment, infrastructure optimization & security,
while covering both Public and Private Cloud.
Plantys also supports Hybrid and Multi-Cloud environments. Hybrid-Cloud environments (that include public/
private cloud, dedicated servers and on-premises servers) make sense in certain scenarios.
o Application Optimization - Certain tasks run best or at lowest cost in certain platforms.
o Sometimes the cost of migrating legacy apps just for the sake of standardization isn't justified.
o Sometimes it is better to go for Hybrid Cloud environment just for the sake of vendor diversification (to
avoid Vendor Lock-in).

Transforms Alarm KPI data into rich visuals using a live dashboard that helps monitor the business health
and spot trends.
Provides a single, unified, live interface for all plant personnel - Management, Operations, Engineering,
Maintenance, Shutdown planners, etc. This is made possible by having a continuously updated list of all
alarm bad actors (e.g. frequent, standing, disabled, flooding) along with all relevant information.
Shows the current and historical information for all actions taken for resolving an alarm issue. These may
be text actions, ERP notifications, permits, etc. and can be added manually or automatically.
Automatically highlights any non-compliances, overdue & missing tasks.
Enables users to update actions, actionee, follow-up date, etc. as needed.
Shows day-wise historical alarm performance of the tag for last 30 days in the form of square glyphs (as
shown on next page). The different colors of the squares indicate the type of alarm on that day.
Additionally, a comment can be made for any of these glyphs just by clicking on it with the presence of the
comment indicated by a black square around i
Overdue dates are indicated in red, missing actions for bad actor alarms are indicated by a red underline, etc.
Other features
Any KPI, standard or best practice can be configured in system. This automates previously manual tasks.
The unified interface also enables proposing, editing and approving alarm help, alarm disabling and
operator shift handover tasks.
Can interface with any ERP system (e.g. SAP), any permit system or any similar database so as to provide
latest information on the current notifications, etc.
Can serve as the repository for all alarms, events and operator changes, even replacing or augmenting the
DCS/ Historian for long-term data storage.
Generates rich interactive reports that are also accessible from mobile.
