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

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
