Let’s Get Connected: Intelligent Machines And Our Optimised Future
Video Plus Print® believes in intelligent technology as an emerging reality, not a distant sci-fi concept. We look forward to a future where the power never goes out, where the water is always clean, where airplanes always run on time, and where the health care industry is working to its full capacity. Connected, intelligent machines can get us there. It’s a bold statement, but then again, VPP’s mission is to create meaningful customer experiences through state-of-the-art marketing products; smarter products. As Asia’s only direct manufacturer of multisensory marketing products, we understand the importance of technology. From a manufacturing point of view, the industrial internet – a network that links machines with software analytics and data in the cloud – is a bigger deal than the Internet of Things, which already connects fitness monitors, smoke detectors, light switches and other consumer devices to apps and smartphones.
So just how much could connected machines/devices and the Industrial Internet change the world? Experts believe that they could add $10 to $15 trillion to the global economy over the next 20 years. To start, take a look at your own buying habits, and how data connections have changed the consumer world.
In the 1990s, when the Internet was just becoming well known, many companies built “brochureware,” simple webpages with their phone numbers and hours. But the founders of Amazon, PayPal and other future web giants realised that the consumer world was going through a seismic change. They said, what is the business opportunity when a billion people get connected? The next thing you know, they turned the retail world upside-down.
Video Plus Print® is now doing something similar in the digital manufacturing space. It’s revolutionising business marketing through its array of multisensory experiences, developed and implemented through state-of-the-art video marketing solutions. Our vision to see beyond financial impacts and the ability to look further puts us in a position to provide the world with better experiences so your customers Experience More™.
An “intelligent” device in the future for example, can carry sensors for monitoring everything from pressures, vibrations and gestures. The sensors remotely feed the data to the cloud where software can analyse the same information from other sources of the same model or device, no matter where in the world they are, optimise them and spot problems. Any asset can be optimised, if the machines can share the right information. At such scale, even tiny tweaks can lead to huge savings.
We think about this as connecting minds and machines so that you will always Experience More™.
