September 20186 MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTS Intelligent machinery, advanced data collection and analysis, and efficient resource management--all benefits from the IIoT infiltration into the manufacturing space. These are reasons not to ignore IIoT because IIoT promises greater efficiency and productivity; manufacturers do need to welcome it with open arms. Manufacturers must change their processes and how they work. For some companies, the shift may seem like a scary prospect, pushing them further away from their familiar working practices. However, with the number of devices that are connected continuing to rise, so should the number of manufacturers taking advantage of the power of IoT, after all, this move could make or break the business. With today's situation, in industries, there's a huge push for digitalization of factories--an imperative for survival. Manufacturers need to consider these benefits of IIoT to adopt the technologies. IIoT technologies allow businesses to leverage factory-wide data in more meaningful ways. This data from all the connected devices can be used to improve the efficiency of machines, processes, and people. In addition, IIoT technologies can also be used to help avoid machine failures due to their predictive maintenance capabilities--the process of tracking the performance of crucial machine components. Highlighting new developments in the IIoT space, this special edition brings innovative solutions and disruptors in the field. We have come up with the solution providers who show the most promise with our "Top 10 Industrial IoT Solution Providers - 2018" list. This we hope will give you, our readers; the opportunity to make informed decisions for all your IIoT endeavors.Let us know your thoughts!Adopt and Move ForwardEditorialCopyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
