Manufacturing, Utilities & Industrial Plants
Manufacturing, Utilities & Industrial Plants
Outside of the supply chain, no industry has seen a greater impact from the Internet of Things like the manufacturing, utility companies, and industrial worksites of today have. Archaic methods for tracking and managing information, such as pen and paper, offline spreadsheets, and basic word of mouth transactions continue to be replaced through centralized management systems that include hardware, software and backend services.
The only trouble with this is disconnectedness with systems and technology providers – you need one sole source to bring everything and everyone together thoughtfully, that takes into account the workflows of the organization, the uniqueness of the business and the individuality of each member of the workforce to create your products.
We didn’t even mention the role networks play in everything, especially the automation revolution. So much depends on high performance wired and wireless networks on the factories of the future, that getting network infrastructure projects done right – hardware, firmware, software and cabling – could mean the very difference from a successful plant to an underperforming site.
ScanOnline’s experience with Manufacturing, Utilities and Industrial Plants started from the very beginning of the company’s origin, more than 15 years ago. We have grown our abilities and offerings alongside the rapid changes and growth in yours. As such, we know what is specific to end users like yourself, but also know the common pitfalls to avoid, while keeping your plans and expectations at the very top of project goals.

But before you do anything, there are some questions that come into play for most factories:
- What elements of the plant floor are currently costing us revenue – is it waste, machine breakdowns, process inefficiencies, labor costs or something else?
- How can mobility – handheld computers, software and printing – help shore up gaps in reporting, team communication, management collaboration, and unify everything back together?
- Know what kinds of information will be helpful in producing better production outcomes for our plant? Plus, how do we centralize the management of data?
- How much will automation play a role in our manufacturing strategy today, into the future, and what technology do we need to support it, such as networks?
- How scalable and future-proof is my network, to include all parts of my roadmap, to innovate the factory floor?
