Mobility Landscape

State of the Global Economy
 Economies around the world have become highly
synchronized, driving ongoing evolution of the
“global manufacturing economy”
 Much of Western Europe is in recession, and growth
is slowing across the globe
 Manufacturers have become much more cautious
over the past few months
 Global consumers are becoming more conservative
as uncertainty persists
 Sales and profits of companies more oriented to the
U.S. are outperforming companies with a larger
share of sales abroad

Manufacturers are being challenged
 We need to be even more efficient
 We need to reduce the decision cycle

 We need to put information in the right hands, at the right time
 The work day has been extended

 We need operators, maintenance staff, management to do this from
anywhere, at anytime

Reducing decision time
A 1‐millisecond advantage in trading applications can be worth $100
million a year to a major brokerage firm, by one estimate. The fastest
systems, running from traders' desks to exchange data centers, can
execute transactions in a few milliseconds‐‐so fast, in fact, that the
physical distance between two computers processing a transaction can
slow down how fast it happens. This problem is called data latency‐‐delays
measured in split seconds.

The Landscape is changing

Where are we evolving to…
From: Tethered, centrally monitored systems, with many workers
To: Non-wired, globally accessible systems, with fewer

workers with increased production demands
Subject: Do more with less

Where are we evolving to…
 Automation has done a great job of getting us to this position, and will
continue to do so
 It’s Manufacturing Intelligence, combined with Mobile Solutions that will
help make us reach our target

Mobility Landscape

Our Experience and Expectations
 We all have a smart phone or device
 We know what it is capable of doing
 You can…
 Pay your bills
 Transfer funds
 Map your directions
 Monitor your favorite teams
 Read email
 Review stocks
 Watch TV…

Mobility Landscape

Market Trends in Mobility
Growth of Smart Consumer Mobile Devices
Proliferation of smart phones and tablets pushes the access anywhere model. This
coupled with the ever increasing smart device applications sets the expectations for
devices that are truly multipurpose in and out of the factory
Increased Network Access

In plant and external network connectivity allows for broad reaching access to
people and information. Increased security and safety concerns force customers
to make concessions on the use of some devices outside their four walls.
Continued Productivity Demands

Ever increasing needs to better utilize assets, increase uptime and OEE and
broaden the effectiveness of human capital through fast, intelligent decision
making and sharing of information and expertise.

…is driving the demand for mobile
solutions within our facilities

Mobile solutions provide the virtual
tether to your systems

Some Challenges
 Various devices need access

 Not everything is designed or
intended for every form factor
 Not every mobile OS supports
all content or security models

Guidelines to consider
Platform Testing

 Understand that in most cases, what you develop for a desktop application,
is not suitable for small form factor devices

 Maximize your real-estate
 Use the Get command (remove menus / content viewer)
 Users are not expecting the same experience they do on their
desktops
 Links to content is better
 Group “mobile” friendly content in defined model views
 Performance is key
 Limit the amount of data being returned
 Focus on what is actionable

 Know your requirements
 What decisions are your users trying to make?
 Pick the report type that best suits your needs. The report you did in
Excel for the desktop may not be suitable for the mobile device
 Develop your own types specific for mobile devices

 Develop your own app using the FactoryTalk VantagePoint EMI API
