The future of IIoT is smart, shared and secure
The value of including IIoT into your business strategy
The Industrial Internet of Things, commonly referred to as IIoT, is best described as a large network of connected devices and servers that share data between one another. With the rapid rise of IIoT devices on production lines, companies have started realizing the value these smart devices bring to their business operations.
With a direct increase in efficiency translating in a positive bottom line, there is a broad consensus amongst the industry at large that IoT should be embedded in the company strategy.
IIoT implementation challenge
To leverage the power of IIoT, it is of utmost relevance to connect industrial machines to the Internet, and make their data flows available to ecosystem partners. For example, an (artificial) intelligent maintaining service vastly benefits from remotely monitoring the industry machines to infer a cost-saving maintenance plan. Having access to a history of the usage profiles allows IIoT corporates to transfer their businesses into pay-per-use models, harnessing novel revenue opportunities of a shared economy.
79 percent of the IIoT corporates are willing to share only limited or no information with OEM partners.
In order to enable this, IIoT will have to increase the amount of trust levels you need to have with your ecosystem partners and data provenance. According to a study conducted in 2018 by orange 79 percent of the IIoT corporates are willing to share only limited or no information with OEM partners.
