Webinar: Adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) in 2018

Are production environments embracing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology?


Are production environments embracing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology?

Engineering.com surveyed 226 manufacturing professionals to find out.

This webinar will present the results of the research report and provide expert commentary on the results.

The commentary will also provide examples of actual applications of IIoT in production environments.

Here are a few selected insights:

  • More than half of all production activities are instrumented
  • Connecting that equipment to the Internet and analyzing the data from it is at an earlier stage of adoption
  • The most popular application for IIoT is optimizing machine and process performance, but six other applications are almost as popular
