Quantifying the Business Impact of UMH

Forrester's TEI methodology quantifies four components for every investment. Here's what they examined for UMH.

5%

Reduction

Energy Costs

Real-time consumption visibility surfaced standby loads, pressure inefficiencies, and equipment running outside production hours. Sites reduced energy waste without capital expenditure.

€1.5M

Present Value · 3-Year

Labor Costs

Manual machine inspections and meter reading rounds consumed recurring hours across every site. UMH automated data collection, eliminating the need for physical rounds entirely.

€3M

Present Value · 3-Year

Operational Efficiency

Production teams gained visibility into machine states and downtime events in real time. Morning shift meetings changed when teams could see exactly what happened overnight, and why.

Limitless

Future Option Value

AI Readiness

Interviewees described UMH as the data foundation they needed before AI and predictive maintenance could realistically move forward. Use cases that were previously blocked are now feasible.

"We produce almost 20 million fasteners per day. That generates enormous amounts of data. Machine data, energy data, production orders. But it was all in separate systems. We had the data. We just couldn't use it."

"We finally found a product that is stable and flexible enough to connect all of our assets and sensors. Within weeks we achieved process transparency we never had before."

Managing Director

"I think that the future of industrial infrastructure must be modular and open source, as this is the only way to make data easily available and components interchangeable."

Director Smart Manufacturing

"We didn't buy a single-purpose product. We bought something we can use across all our use cases."

Head of IT

"Choosing an IoT system can be daunting due to high costs and integration complexities. UMH stood out by seamlessly combining microservices for effortless setup and customization. Its open-source approach offered the flexibility to fully tailor our IoT system, bridging IT and OT efficiently."

Production Development Manager

"AI is a topic where almost daily I get asked by top management: what are we doing with AI in production? And I always have to explain that you need to have data to start. Therefore, my standard answer is: what we are doing with AI is providing a common data platform with UMH so that we'll be able to use it"
