Overview

While connectivity is not a new concept within the industrial operations ecosystem, enterprises were laggards in cloud adoption because of the nature of their business – which requires time-critical and reliable human, machine and system interfaces. Therefore, at Infosys, we reimagine a production environment having; connected processes on the cloud with higher levels of automation, optimal utilization of its assets and resources while predicting the impact on operations, and responding to changes in real-time.

Infosys Connected Operations on Cloud is a suite of pre-configured and ready-to-deploy modular applications that act as the connective layer between machines, processes, systems, and people – to achieve operational excellence. Built by harnessing the best-of-breed AWS IoT services, these micro applications are provided in an 'As-A-Service' consumption model.

This solution facilitates seamless integration of Engineering Technology (ET), Operational Technology (OT), and Informational Technology (IT) to enable process harmonization across industrial operations in an enterprise, regardless of the technology stack's heterogeneity. Built on the Infosys Live Enterprise framework principles, the solution transforms an organization's processes into becoming sentient, scalable, predictive and transparent with real-time and self-healing insights.

Connected Operations on Cloud solution is built utilizing our CRAFTS framework

TALK TO OUR EXPERTS

Amidst an increasing convergence of digital and physical realms through Industry 4.0 adoption, connected operations have become one of the most crucial differentiators for such enterprises.

Our Connected Operations on Cloud solution, built utilizing our CRAFTS framework as the guiding principle, addresses this need:

  • Cloudification: reduce infrastructure, service, and maintenance costs
  • Rapid: accelerated deployment cycle of 10 -16 weeks from 10-12 months.
  • Affordable: lower the entry barrier by providing Opex and subscription models.
  • Flexible: modular applications to adopt the highest value solutions first
  • Turnkey: bring in an entire ecosystem of partners, trained talents and innovation via labs
  • Sentient: Sense, analyze and respond in an agile manner to demanding situations

Challenges & Solutions

Data available at different levels of OT, IT, and ET applications have diverse data types, are complex, in silos and not contextualized, and provide limited visibility into operations.

Infosys Connected Operations on Cloud bridges this gap by connecting siloed applications across different layers of the ISA95 or ISA88 stack and creating a Cognitive First Data Engineering framework. The solution converts data into information through data abstraction from multiple sources, contextualization and harmonization into different data models, overlaying asset and process hierarchy.

Failure to meet schedules, address changing customer priorities, and lack of flexibility in managing production changes have heavily impacted organizations during the pandemic.

Infosys Connected Operations on Cloud uses AI and ML features to proactively predict the possible impact on operations, like time to failure for critical assets, in-line potential quality failures and energy consumption based on machine performance and external factors.

Often digital transformations falter during industrialization or deployment at scale. To define and implement the digital end state across the organization, we adopt a 3-phase approach: standardize, templatize and industrialize.

Infosys Connected Operations on Cloud enables organizations to build standards around machine connectivity, data acquisition pipeline, user experiences and processes, enabling standardization and templatization.
