A couple of months ago, I went to an interesting event dedicated to creating a digitalized factory of the future. Given that it took place in Japan, I imagined quite an animated discussion around making another leap in the manufacturing of things. From the presentations, it was clear that the investment in IoT hardware, from raw material tags, inventory tags, to equipment sensors – is increasing. To make things more interesting, it is not a factory.

But are they just creative marketing spin (after all, developing them is kind of part of the job), or is what they stand for actually making a difference in your supply chain planning? Internet of Things – HYPE. Ok, ok, I know a lot of folks may disagree with me on this one. The Internet of Things, often referred to as simply IoT, is hard to ignore. And sensing on its own doesn’t do a heck of a lot of good.

Inventory stockpiling is starting to occur based on prices and supply/demand curves. Ports are having to off-load cargo onto the new mega-ships offshore from multiple smaller ships because they don’t have the capacity to handle the bigger vessels. Technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning and the cloud are changing the way people and companies interact and do business.

It’s estimated that this will easily cost biopharmaceuticals somewhere in the ballpark of a cool $17 billion by 2020. Meanwhile, pharma companies are still trying to iron out distribution and inventory complexities that cause another $25 billion in excess inventory – in a nutshell, the new drugs are complex proteins and if they’re not properly handled every step of the way to market, they’ll go bad!
