Manufacturing cloud
Overview
Manufacturing enterprises have typically been hesitant to adopt cloud because the business that requires time critical and reliable human, machine and system interface. However, the need to align to industry 4.0 principles of connected machines, processes, people and ecosystems along with the pandemic’s onset has changed this mindset. Manufacturers are required to collate and analyze real-time data and support data-driven decision-making to transform traditional shop floors into a future-ready smart factory.
Cloud empowers manufacturing enterprises to reimagine a connected future
Manufacturing Cloud is part of Infosys Engineering Cloud and Infosys Cobalt, a comprehensive offering for accelerating the cloud journey for manufacturers in production processes and applications. We have developed a strong ecosystem and capabilities to support different aspects of the Manufacturing Cloud, including simulation, analytics, operational management, maintenance and training. These aspects come with varying complexity - from a single asset to a process unit or an entire industrial plant. The solutions involve multiple advanced and adjacent technologies like data lake, IoT, 5G, edge compute, analytics and AI/ML.
Our Manufacturing Cloud solutions are built on the principles of the digital thread, enabling seamless integration of asset data on a cloud ecosystem, establishing a single source of truth across Engineering, Operational and Information Technologies.
- Engineering Technology (ET) – manages the design and engineering phase, defines, simulates and establishes the digital data for manufacturing, traceability of the material and process compliance. It is detailed as part of Design Cloud
- Operation Technology (OT) – manages product manufacturing, material consumed, the process followed and the quality checkpoints during the manufacturing process.
- Information Technology (IT) – manages the information and data across the horizontal layers of the supplier, manufacturer and end customer and the vertical integration of systems of the manufacturing organization.
