In a real-world IIoT deployment of smart robotics, ABB, a power and robotics firm, uses connected sensors to monitor the maintenance needs of its robots to prompt repairs before parts break. Likewise, commercial jetliner maker Airbus has launched what it calls the factory of the future, a digital manufacturing initiative to streamline operations and boost production. Airbus has integrated sensors into machines and tools on the shop floor and outfitted employees with wearable tech -- e.g., industrial smart glasses -- aimed at cutting down on errors and enhancing workplace safety. Another robotics manufacturer, Fanuc, is using sensors in its robotics, along with cloud-based data analytics, to predict the imminent failure of components in its robots. Doing so enables the plant manager to schedule maintenance at convenient times, reducing costs and averting potential downtime. Magna Steyr, an Austrian automotive manufacturer, is taking advantage of IIoT to track its assets, including tools and vehicle parts, as well as to automatically order more stock when necessary. The company is also testing "smart packaging" that is enhanced with Bluetooth to track components in its warehouses.
