The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises improved operational efficiency through smarter, automated decisions driven by swaths of newly available data. To put it simply, IoT sensors allow us to measure the physical world with unprecedented accuracy and detail, thus permitting data-driven decisions. As a long-time innovator in manufacturing process optimization, we are glad to explore with you the advantages of connected machines and predictive maintenance and how you can make use of these advantages to avoid unnecessary maintenance work and boost productivity.
