Hello!

The Business Case for SensorsReal- world effectiveness of sensor technology

1

“

Then: “There’s an App for that?”

Now: “There’s a Sensor for that?”

What types of sensors

◉ Wi-Fi & Bluetooth low-energy (BLE)◉ Passive/active RFID◉ Near Field Communications (NFC)◉ Temperature/humidity/moisture◉ Cellular & mobile applications◉ Real-time locating systems (RTLS)◉ Ultra-wide band (UWB)◉ Barcode technologies◉ GPS-enhanced devices◉ Sensor-enhanced security access

“

“The compelling reason for data centers to use sensors is for better visibility into facilities and asset

management.”

Sensor Facts * - Energy

◉ Data centers consume roughly 3% of all energy used in the United States. ◉ Nearly 50% of data center energy typically goes to non-IT loads, such as

cooling, fans, humidification and lighting. ◉ Reducing operating costs and energy use reduces need to provide additional

power and cooling.◉ Improving the energy performance of data centers supports progress toward

meeting federally mandated greenhouse gas emission-reduction goals.

* from The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy

Sensor Facts * - Energy

◉ Based on a USDA Data Center study using wireless sensors -◉ Energy cost savings can average $30,000 per year.◉ Simple payback is often calculated at 3 years given an initial sensor network

cost of $100,000. ◉ This equates to an attractive 29% ROI. ◉ Data center annual greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by 542 metric

tons of carbon dioxide.

Sensor Facts - Further Savings

◉ Improved visibility into facilities and assets◉ Improved real-time data flow into DCIM, Finance, Accounting, ITSM,

ITAM, Security◉ More streamlined and accurate inventory management◉ Greater compliance with financial and accounting requirements◉ Improved risk mitigation - reduced number of lost/missing IT assets◉ Improved SLA performance through improved ITAM and ITSM

integration, tracking and management of IT assets

How Industries are Using Sensors2

Who is using sensors?

Pharmaceuticals

For regulatory compliance, expiration date monitoring, inventory & supply chain management, loss & prevention

Healthcare

Patient tracking, equipment monitoring and inventory, ePHI audits, equipment maintenance, workflow improvements

Food

For first expire first out (FEFO), chain of custody, temperature documentation, loss & prevention, quality assurance

Retail

Customer experience, inventory management and out of stock, loss prevention, reduction in labor and counterfeit items

Manufacturing

Improve product usage, reduce waste, labor utilization, quality control, certification documentation, WIP improvements

Pharmaceutical Sensors

Distribution of Vaccines and Injectables, Reagents, and Lab Products

Tagging of products Embedded sensors in medical cabinets and storage Real-time location and temperature tracking Auto-reporting and integration into back-end systems Generate inventory reports Automatic reordering Provide first expire first out (FEFO)

Pharmaceutical SensorsTracking Perishable Products Time Out of Environment (TOE)

Sensors auto-populate certification forms Digitize TOE during processing Replace manual recording of events Provide automatic customer documentation Generate batch records and log forms Eliminate product waste and spoilage Include a RESTful Web service interface Provide real-time visibility

Healthcare Sensors

Medical Equipment Maintenance & Reporting

Provides end-to-end equipment tracking & monitoring Mitigates risks and manage equipment Helps with Joint Commission (JCAHO) regulatory compliance Supports 24 x 7 physical inventory and equipment verification Uses hospital grade workstations with scanning hardware Stores historical equipment maintenance data in RFID tags

Food Chain Sensors

Tracking Meat Products Through Processing

Optimizes manufacturing processes Improves bulk raw material dwell and rotation Automates visibility of actual raw material

used in finished products and temperature history

Avoids food safety issues before product ships

Improves efficiency of production operations during line replenishment

Food Chain Sensors

Tracking Returnable Food Transport Items

Leading food products supplier with 12+ facilities Returnable items loss approximately of $3.5 million

per year Objective to recover at least 50% of RTIs Scan Inbound and Outbound RTIs Initial investment of $100K yielded ROI in first 6

months of $700,000

Food Chain Sensors

Tracking Delivery Time and Temperature for In-Hospital Patients FDA-approved sensor tags Track accuracy of meal orders and

delivery locations Track meal delivery times for efficiency Verify meals delivered at safe temperature Use cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity Use web console for real-time visibility

Tracking Combustible Devices in a Harsh Environment

Collect incendiary device data at customer facilities Report data directly into the manufacturer’s ERP

system Improve product usage visibility, reduce waste,

improve labor utilization Provide quality control certification and documentation Establish time calculations for product usage Establish device performance and measurement to

improve quality control

Manufacturing

When Sensors are Most Useful

Time

Location Environment

Actionable DataSensors typically work best when used simply, with the least infrastructure possible, and the data is actionable.

Best Practices3

Considerations◉ FCC certified and universal standards-based◉ Audit compliance◉ Certification of each phase of life-cycle

Every stakeholder is responsible for risk mitigation and part of risk management

Viable data on assets requires establishing an accurate inventory baseline through a physical count and reconciliation

SMART BUILDING EVOLUTION

By 2020, one in five buildings will be a smart building, supporting 50 billion connected devices, with cloud-based software and services growing at a rate of 33 percent.

ENABLEMENT

• Disparate communications cabling and protocols consolidated around Ethernet in 1990s

• Voice systems integrated onto IP-based networks throughout 2000s

• Physical security applications have migrated to network over last 10 years

• Operational Technologies related to lighting, BMS, and industrial control beginning to migrate onto network

• Fire and life safety systems unlikely to fully migrate onto network in the short term
