You’ve likely heard of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0, Smart Factories, or Digital Manufacturing. All these are similar in concept: collecting and using data from many sources to gain improvements and reduce costs. Right now, 15% of manufacturers are invested in this technology. They are mainly large production/process facilities with large amounts of automation. In the next five years, that 15% is expected to grow to 65%. Experts say those who most quickly exploit IoT technology will receive the greatest benefit. You should be asking yourself:What will this mean for your business?How will you compete in the New Age?Are you in a position to take advantage of this trend?Do you have a strategy in place for the digital factory?At Maxbyte we provide an end to end Industrial IoT/Industry 4.0 and Analytics solutions for our customers' operations and products needs.
