- Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) presents integration architecture challenges that once taken on can enable use cases that deliver fast-growing revenue opportunities.
- ISA-95 addressed the rise of global production and distributed supply chains yet is still deficient on the issue of data and security, specifically the proliferation of IIoT sensors, which are the real security perimeter of any manufacturing business.
- Optimizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), predictive maintenance, and cross-vendor shop floor integration are the most promising applications.
- IIoT manufacturing systems are quickly becoming digital manufacturing platforms that integrate ERP, MES, PLM and CRM systems to provide a single unified view of product configurations, which is what Configuration Lifecycle Management providers including Configit do today.
