Manufacturing journalist TR Cutler continues to see IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) has a 2019 hot topic. According to Cutler, the IIoT platform moves beyond merely installing network-connected sensors in a manufacturer’s products, so that operational performance data (and anomalies) can be stored in the cloud. These data can unlock tremendous value to both the manufacturer in terms of anomaly detection, preventative maintenance, quality and customers who can understand how these assets are utilized.
Cutler insists the IIoT is a natural extension of successful digital transformation to an overall manufacturing business strategy. Developing a digital transformation strategy, a manufacturer can find cost saving value in operations and generate new revenue streams by increasing the value delivered. Manufacturers are looking ahead to monetize new data collected through digitalizing products and operations.
