Plugging into the industrial IoT brings manufacturers a network of new ways to cut costs, improve performance and increase productivity. Although a digital transformation may seem overwhelming, the transition can be achieved in just four phases, known as pillars: connectivity, control, digitalization and augmentation.
The first pillar, connectivity, involves connecting physical devices and enterprise systems to the IoT to foster system integration, increase transparency and improve processes remotely across plants. Control, the second pillar, allows a company to use data from connected devices to gain complete transparency and control the performance of assets.
