Purpose built enterprise asset and logistics management solution

Opportunity

An enterprise asset is a subject ‘owned’ by a company. Assets can be physical – tangible – or non-physical – intangible. Physical assets include, for instance: transportation, IT, technical and manufacturing equipment, buildings, infrastructure, network, and smart devices. Non-physical assets can consist of intellectual property (IP), capital, software, or digital assets. The enterprise asset management [EAM] is moving at a fast pace, but there are many industry sectors such as oil and gas, chemicals, mining, pharmaceuticals there is an elongated time to adopt these solutions, and they tend to move slow. For asset-intensive industries, profitability and growth depend on how efficiently assets are employed—including minimizing downtime, maximizing availability, and managing changeovers. 
The top few challenges in EAM are – Asset transparency of relevant information, ready to be consumed financial and transactional information, real-time shipping and other logistic details, remediation processes, asset transfer solutions, and real-time report and relationship management.

Dare

Our customer (Abbot Laboratories), out of Chicago, IL a large pharmaceutical company, had a project in line to remediate 1000+ global locations with complex network solutions and other operational gear. It was desired to manage orders, purchase orders, shipping, and other logistics via a single portal. Synapse was invited by the customer to build a robust solution for this purpose.

The Synapse team converged on building a roll-out roadmap with the customer. The critical challenge observed in this strategy was global asset management. With more than a million components to be ordered, it was desired to just-in-time manage: asset order from vendors, delivery logistics and facilitate a built-in mechanism to asset tag all components for quick deployment.
The team further went and identified scenarios for asset remediation and replacement and the ability to transfer assets between enterprise locations. These kinds of flexibilities were important to manage fire-drills due to the non-availability of components at specific areas due to the government, custom or other manufacturing issues.

” Our asset management platform on GCP tracks more than 500K+ parts and devices globally and provides split-second searches across inventory, making it easy for us to ramp up new projects and manage the delivery logistics “

Smart Data and Blockchain

Consider a simple problem of tracking medicines in a pharmaceutical plant. The inability of tracking what medicine came from which batch can be a significant gap in an audit trail. To link entry on the Blockchain to the original batch a digital tag is needed on the batch and medication. However, this becomes a complex issue when tracking livestock. At that point, we may be considering using a physical tag on the livestock. Blockchain provides a reliable way of creating permanent and verifiable records, but it lacks the process to ensure connectivity between real-world and digital world entities are permanent and verifiable in all cases. At the intersection between Real and Digital worlds, data along with human intervention plays a key role. Smart data allows for solving some parts of last mile issue as seen in Blockchain scenarios.

Smart Data and Blockchain

Blockchain technology provides an immutable, digital audit trail of transactions, and can be used to verify the integrity of data at low price points. It enables entities to agree, on a global scale, about the true state of affairs within a market without relying on an intermediary. This audit trail is achieved through a clever combination of incentives and cryptography and ensures that at any point in time, digital records reflect the real “consensus” among the key stakeholders involved. It removes the necessity for a central authority to verify and maintain the records of transactions and nullifies the need for trust between players when sharing digital records. At the intersection between Real and Digital worlds, data along with human intervention plays a key role.  Smart data  allows for solving some parts of last mile issue as seen in  Blockchain  scenarios.
