How Intelligent Business Networks Will Empower Tomorrow's Autonomous Supply Chains

Picture a scenario in which flow-rate sensors in a water pump inside a car's engine detect a drop in water pressure. The sensor information would be automatically transmitted to a local service center via a telematics link. The service center would be tasked with deciding whether the water pump needs to be replaced, and with connecting into the car manufacturer's service portal. There, the service center would gain access to a machine-learning platform that examines a combination of factors, including historical information. That data would help the service technician determine when the water pump is likely to fail.
