PLATFORM OVERVIEW
Line Down Triage Hub (LDTH) is a scalable Internet of Things solution platform. It allows Ford to experiment with IoT and truly understand how real life solutions can be implemented.
Data Analytics
The Global Data Insights and Analytics (GDIA) group, obviously, controls this activity. The Google Cloud Architecture feeds whatever analytics engines Ford chooses to use.
Respond & Predict
We are using off-the-shelf Google Cloud Platform tools to build the "left-hand-side" of Line Down Triage Hub. The Event, Triage and Resolution Engines will be built by Maven Wave, a Google partner, familiar with Google Cloud Platform tools.
Managed Networks
The Cisco Connected Factory Solution is a portfolio of validated, proven architectures, capabilities, and market-leading technologies and services. This Cisco Managed Network solution is designed to help industrial companies: (1) Rapidly and more securely integrate industrial automation and control with business systems, (2) Build one common, converged, rugged, plant-to business network, (3) Improve operational costs and efficiency, (4) Find and fix problems faster to improve production uptime and equipment availability, and (5) Improve security through control of network access by user and location with identity services.
Data Capture
In order to demonstrate the power of LDTH, the first integration with data sources is Beet Envision Software. Beet Envision software is already up and running at various Ford locations and offers large potential for cost savings if scaled in conjunction with LDTH.
