Industry X.0: achieving operational efficiency and growth through innovative business models

Industry 4.0 is the term for the comprehensive digitalisation (digital transformation) of industrial production in the future.
In this context, not only individual procedures or processes of production are considered, but the entire value chain. Suppliers, logistics and even the customer are all regarded as a complex system that needs to be brought together under an integrated communication system.
The term Industry X0 symbolises the speed of technological developments. Unlike Industry 4.0, digitalisation will not be limited to automation in manufacturing, but will require a restructuring of the entire company in order to sustainably increase growth opportunities.

The industry is moving forward broadly for the first time, from digitalisation with the aim of increasing efficiency to digitalisation for more growth.
The basis is formed by networked technologies, data-driven services, digital ecosystems, hyper-personalisation and new types of business models.

The IIoT (industrial internet of things) combines physical products and digital applications. Big Data, AI, Internet of Things, LPN, Lorawan and many others are the flagships of this complex and huge transformation process.

Internet of Things in commodities trading

As a global corporation with over 150 locations, Glencore has a large number of buildings. To digitalise building management and optimise building maintenance, soxes has developed a web app in which individual main buildings can be recorded and segmented. This web application enables Glencore employees to manage the many buildings efficiently and in one central location. In addition, the building portfolio can be expanded flexibly and new requirements can be taken into account quickly. The connection to the alarm system also integrates the Internet of Things into the management process, putting Glencore’s administrative processes at the forefront of the digitalisation race. The entire project description including insights into the application can be found here!
