Our fictional baking enterprise, GloboBake, has a range of shop floor connectivity challenges. Their main production facilities have a multitude of traditional equipment types, from dough kneading machines to ovens. Each one is made up of innumerable moving parts, sensors and other important bits. None of these are complex, in themselves, but the volume they represent makes them near impossible to manage individually. Shop floor connectivity here has clear benefits. Creating a unified approach to these disparate systems opens the door to so many things for GloboBake. Automating production and quality control means less energy used overall and easier maintenance of machines that monitor their own condition. Repeatable processes in the baking production lines can be created and rolled out in facilities from London to Lisbon. Money is saved, production can happen in a more sustainable way, and GloboBake continues to be the world leader in bread. Scalability How does complexity factor into scalable shop floor connectivity?
