Busness Drivers
That Will Secure A
Strong Business
Case
For My IoT
Project?
IoT Business Drivers:
1. Reduce the overhead of staying compliant
with critical industrial assets
2. Prevent aging assets failures
3. Use trusted data to lower insurance
premium and increase resale value of
assets
4. Manage warranty and upsell a new product
5. Optimize Consumable Fulfillment (i.e. Fuel,
Lubricants)

3. Why Compliance #1?
“SOX(Sarbanes-Oxley) requires the CEO and CFO to be aware
of what’s happening in their companies.
They must establish measures or they will be liable. It is their responsibility to
make sure everything is audited and that the data are available.
Auditors must be able to determine what’s going on.”
Randy Kondor, Managing Director at Matrikon/Honeywell.
A real-time data historian or data analysis system is needed.
BR&L Consulting’s Brandl recommends.

Case Study
• Situation
-Nuclear Plants and any Hazard-prone systems safety
were delegated to the trained operators
-Unrealistically, compliance was consider a given even
“during situation of interest”
• Challenge
-Multiple Stakeholders need to collaboratein exploration,
investigation, modeling, deployed in multiple places.
-Connectivity not consistent during “situation of
interest”.
• Solution
EKATRA IoT Edge Nodes at every step of the decision
