Report: 4 Critical Components to Harnessing the Power of IoT in Manufacturing

Manufacturing is undergoing a digital revolution as Industry 4.0 becomes a reality at plants across the globe.  New cloud -based and artificial intelligence technologies offer manufacturers greater insight, flexibility and agility than ever before and help to minimize downtime, reduce errors and avoid unplanned outages.

A critical component of Industry 4.0 is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). Embedded sensors provide real time machine data connected to these cloud based and analytic technologies. These sensors - in conjunction with these other technologies - can be used for predictive maintenance, monitoring of quality, and identification of ways to reduce costs.

Further, as global manufacturers seek to reduce waste and carbon emissions in pursuit of the Net Zero future - a vision agreed at the recent COP talks in Glasgow - these enabling technologies will become more important than ever.

Yet, many manufacturers have invested heavily in IIOT infrastructure but have not yet reaped the full benefit of what this technology can offer. That’s because IIoT needs to be built on both solid business and technology foundations. This guide looks at the four critical components that manufacturers must consider to extract more value out of their IIoT initiatives.
