Technology capabilities and lower costs are

driving wide range of OEMs to embed and

integrate network-based capabilities

Cost

Comms technology rapidly dropping in

price – volumes beginning to drive scale

Cost and complexity of enablement still

requires skilled system implementation

activity but getting easier

Security

Highly secure requirements

Better defined and improved security

standards

Newer generation of tools allowing for

more device-centric offerings

Carrier Endorsement

Carriers are increasingly focusing on M2M

opportunity, with dedicated sales teams

and appropriate compensation plans

Data is providing very meaningful revenue

and profit growth for Carriers

Traditional telephony becoming saturated

Applications

Consumer applications positively

impacting B2B and related adoption (e.g.

smartphone, tablets/readers, etc.)

Broad growth forecast for Asset

Management, Security, Energy, Supply

Chain & Logistics, and Customer

Support

Regulatory

Rapidly advancing policy initiatives in

Public Safety, Utilities, Healthcare

Growing adoption/interest in Resources,

Offshore

Networks Perspective:

Provide real time data from extraction

and drilling equipment and related

systems, transport systems and

refineries to enterprise systems

continues to be the critical

requirement:

• Real time asset information needs

to be widely available across the

corporate environment

• Real time information also needs to

be provided to other applications

and interacted with across vendors

and service providers

• Ownership of the data will be critical

dimension in evolution of systems

Challenges

• Systems need to be resilient

• Standard open communications schemes are relatively new to the industry

• New ways of working for industry participants, support providers and systems vendors

• Often need to work in parallel with data feeds to the service company systems

• Assets such as drilling rigs may not be company owned – security challenges in many

locations and practices

• Need for robust interactions will tend to conflict with security and ownership challenges

Device Life Cycle

& Longevity

Designing systems for very long operational lives – not just physically but also for communications and

information architecture will be key

Device Accessibility

& Update Frequency

Many devices will be physically inaccessible – embedded into products, building and infrastructure and not designed

for human interaction and will require infrequent updates

Always On

Never Off

Many “always-on” applications will have to deal with live updates, no down-time and still function in very small

memory footprints

Security &

Mission Criticality

Mission critical devices will bring their own unique set of requirements – guaranteed availability, high security and

immunity from updates being an attack source

Open Systems

& Interoperability

Inter-operability between different vendors processors / microcontrollers & their operating systems will be extremely

important – systems need to provide services to each other even when the underlying compute platforms are vastly different

Evolving Requirements


December 2013

While Many New Info Tools Are Being Adopted, Few Address Real

Needs…

Maintenance, because of its ad-hoc nature, is one

of the last functions to be networked and

automated:

• Maintenance, while important, has been a

“second class citizen” from an investment and

skills development standpoint

• Virtually all the adjacent technologies that have

developed in and around the maintenance

function have not provided significant benefits to

maintenance personnel

• Existing systems are not well integrated and the

information they accumulate cannot be easily

accessed across differing application systems

• Customers are better understanding of the value

of “remote” services largely due to the growing

presence of adjacent technologies such as cloud

computing
