Smart integrated operations
Smart Integrated Operations (SIO), by IoT WoRKSTM, provides customers hassle-free and reliable operations at scale for managing diverse IT operations, AI ops, devices, field businesses, and network needs of enterprises by delivering cost efficiency in the context of IoT solutions deployed in the customers’ environment. Its proactive approach, driven by end-to-end real-time visibility eliminates inefficiencies by leveraging people, processes, and technology to bridge the skill gap through IT/OT convergence. The SIO is a rapidly scalable solution, which can manage millions of endpoints and helps manufacturers unlock new revenues around smart, connected products by utilizing digitization to engage customers and drive seamless user experience.
Connected products and plants
How can SIO help Aftermarkets?
Extending a complete array of aftermarkets services, unlocking increasing value, and delivering powerful service outcomes around connected products are critical for OEMs as they focus on delivering productivity and uptimes-based SLA to the customers, since:
- Customers are shifting from CAPEX to OPEX-driven business models built around connected products and aftermarket services
- IoT-led product performance insights are becoming real-time – resulting in increased customer expectations
- Improving reliability and visibility into end-to-end aftermarket operations is now critical
How can SIO help Plants?
As we find ourselves right in the middle of Industry 4.0, IT and OT can no longer afford to exist in silos – the impact of IT/OT convergence in industrial manufacturing is staggering and needs to account for the following factors:
- Improved performance, increased productivity, reduced costs and enhanced agility – make a compelling case for bridging the gap between IT and OT technologies
- A lack of industry standards, disparate development of IT and OT technologies continue to make it challenging to achieve true IT/OT convergence

Driver and challenges for aftermarkets
Service revenue margins are 2.5x more significant than new product/equipment revenue margins
The emphasis on digital technologies and connected products has increased 7x in the last 10 years
Adopting AI models, Extended Reality (XR) technologies, and connected products at scale are mainstream
The shift to a focus on service outcomes from product-centric business models is transforming customer relationships
Despite digitization, the customers are at varied IoT-adoption levels—a one-size-fits-all approach will not work
Skilled talent shortages, faced by manufacturers, make it difficult for them to offer high-quality services outcomes
As the customers increase their footprints in aftermarket services, the manufacturers must collaborate to improve overall service outcomes and unlock value
Lack of centralized real-time view of services around products leads to inaccurate monitoring of asset health, usages—causing higher downtimes, lower customer satisfaction
