IoT Intelligence for Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management

IoT Intelligence is an add-in for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management. It integrates Internet of Things (IoT) signals with data in Supply Chain Management to produce actionable insights.

IoT Intelligence supports the following scenarios:

• Production delays – This scenario compares actual cycle time to planned cycle time. Supply Chain Management notifies you when production isn't on schedule, so that you can intervene to maximize operating efficiency and avoid order delays.
• Equipment downtime – This scenario compares measured uptime to user-defined parameters. Supply Chain Management notifies you when an outage threshold is exceeded, so that you can take actions such as rescheduling a production work order or creating a maintenance work order.
• Product quality – This scenario compares sensor readings, such as moisture and temperature, to user-defined quality metrics. Supply Chain Management notifies you when a deviation occurs, so that you can intervene to maintain quality standards and minimize waste.
