What is Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)?
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an advanced application of IoT technology designed specifically for the industry. In the context of Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, IIoT plays a crucial role. It enables the integration of physical and digital systems, resulting in smart factories. These factories offer personalised production processes and smooth cooperation between humans and machines. This allows companies to operate more flexibly and respond better to changing market needs.
Maximise production with Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

SPIE Netherlands Discovers the Benefits of Boomi
Both large enterprises and SMEs nowadays increasingly use smart applications to manage and improve their business processes. These applications also need to communicate with existing (on-premises) systems. Establishing such integration can be a significant challenge. Boomi provides a solution, helping to quickly and easily connect all applications and system components. One company that has discovered the benefits of Boomi is SPIE Netherlands. We spoke with Ad van Oorschot, project manager at SPIE Netherlands, about the implementation of Boomi and the collaboration with Emixa.
What is LEAN Manufacturing?
Lean manufacturing, also known as lean production, is a method of making production processes more efficient by reducing waste and optimising workflows. This is done by systematically analysing and continuously improving each part of the process. The aim is to use materials, time and labour as effectively as possible, leading to lower costs, higher productivity and better quality. A commonly used technique within lean is Just in Time (JIT), but both methods have a different focus. Lean focuses on optimising the entire production process and operational management, while JIT is mainly about smart inventory management. Although they are not the same, they complement each other. Many Lean tools, such as streamlined production flow, are used to achieve JIT goals. Both methods help companies minimise waste and create more value for customers.
Make a Plan for your Data Migration in New Applications!
When you want to replace your existing application landscape or phase out an older system, there's a lot to consider. What should the new applications comply with? Are integrations needed with other systems? What are the business needs? Which functionalities will support my processes? These are important questions to ask beforehand, but also think about the migration of your data from the existing systems! Because without existing data in the new applications, they often cannot be used optimally by employees or customers.
