Digital technologies have changed the way supply chain operations are structured. In this article, we develop design principles to show determining factors for an Internet-of-Things approach within Supply Chain Management. From the design principles, the article derives a new model for the Industrial Internet of Things supply chains. The focus is on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This research design results in a new process of compounding knowledge from existing supply chain models and adapting the cumulative findings to the concept of supply chains in the Industrial Internet of Things. The paper outlines the design principles for developing cognition in the process of integrating SME’s digital supply chains in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the Industry 4.0 (I4.0).

Industrial Internet of Things emerged as one of the major technologies enabling Industry 4.0 for industries. Multiple start-ups started working in the Industrial Internet of Things field to support this new industrial revolution. Distronix, one such Industrial Internet of Things start-up of India, started operations in 2014, when companies were not even aware of Industrial Internet of Things. Distronix started executing fixed-fee projects for implementation of Industrial Internet of Things. They also started manufacturing sensors to support large customers end-to-end in their Industry 4.0 journey. With the advent of public cloud, companies started demanding pay-per-use model for the solution Distronix provided. This posed a major challenge to Distronix as they had developed technology skills focusing fixed-fee customized project delivery for their clients. The situation demanded that they change their business model from individual project delivery to creation of product sand-box with pre-registered sensors and pre-defined visualization layer to support use cases for Industrial Internet of Things implementation in multiple industry sectors. It forced Rohit Sarkar, the 26 years old entrepreneur and owner of Distronix, to upgrade capabilities of his employees and transform the business model to support pay-per-use economy popularized by public cloud providers. The case discusses the challenges Rohit faced to revamp their business model in such an emerging technology field, like, to develop new skills of the technical people to support such novel initiative, reorienting sales people towards pay as use model, developing new concept of plug and play modular product, devising innovative pricing, better alliance strategy and finding out a super early adopter.

The objective of this study is to develop and test a framework for the role that supply chain strategy (SCS) and supply chain integration have in a firm’s financial performance and to increase the understanding of the role that these factors play in supply chain design. Structural equation modeling was used to test these relationships based on data obtained from small and medium exporting enterprises in Peru. This study responds to a gap in understanding the role of supply chains in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and how firms in Latin America, especially in Peru, apply supply chain concepts. Findings indicate that companies should prioritize their integration efforts depending on the type of supply chain strategy. Likewise, results show that customer integration is directly related to a firm’s financial performance. This study responds to the need to understand the development of supply chain strategies and the generation of competitive advantage in Peruvian export-manufacturing SMEs.

Abstract Developing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems requires addressing challenges that range from acquiring data at the level of the shopfloor, integrated at the edge level and managing it at the cloud level. Managing manufacturing operations at the cloud level arose the opportunity for extending decisions to entities of the supply chain in a collaborative way. Not only it has arisen many challenges due to several interoperability needs; but also in properly defining an effective way to take advantage of the available data, leading to Industrial Digital Thread (IDT) and Asset Efficiency (AE) implementing. This paper discusses implementation concerns for a collaborative manufacturing environment in an IIoT system in order to monitor equipment’s AE. Each concern was addressed in a separate proof of concept testbed. The demonstration is based in a project for the IIoT domain called PRODUTECH-SIF (Solutions for the Industry of the Future).

In the era of mechanical digitalization, organizations are progressively putting resources into apparatuses and arrangements that permit their procedures, machines, workers, and even the products themselves to be incorporated into a solitary coordinated system for information assortment, information examination, the assessment of organization advancement, and execution improvement. This chapter presents a reference guide and review for propelling an Industry 4.0 venture from plan to execution, according to base on the economic and scientific policy of European parliament, applying increasingly effective creation forms, and accomplishing better profitability and economies of scale may likewise bring about expanded financial manageability. This chapter present the contextual analysis of a few Industry 4.0 applications. Authors give suggestions coordinating the progression of Industry 4.0. This section briefly portrays the advancement of IIoT 4.0. The change of ubiquitous computing through the internet of things has numerous difficulties related with it.
