This paper looks at Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology looking at what it is, how it works, how it’s being used and why it’s changing the way we design the next generation of products.
Predominantly companies investing in this technology are looking for ways to help improve the performance of their designs, leverage big data to help them make better decisions, provide more functionality to the end user and leverage services to create additional revenue streams.
Through the course of this paper we’ll look at a number of key technologies being developed in this field, with a particular focus on the web connected technology.
An example, Premier Deicers, is used to illustrate innovative ways that manufacturers are applying these technologies to improve service performance, minimize downtime, provide their customers with unique insight and generate more revenue. Through the use of IIoT they’ve been able to provide unique services and win new customers, something many manufacturers are trying to do in otherwise challenging conditions.
