M2M: The new face of field service?

March 1, 2016

One of the hot topics for 2015 that has everyone talking is that of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies. But what exactly do these terms mean in practice, and what level of impact are they likely to make on the field service industry as we know it? Is it the latest buzz word to be adopted by the few and fizzle out, or does this mark a new era for the industry, set to change the way we deliver service forever?

Global Industry Standards for Industrial IoT

whitePaper | June 2, 2021

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a rapidly expanding world of connected objects. As IIoT systems proliferate, large amounts of data are consumed by machine learning algorithms and shared between partners, customers and others. IIoT is a technology environment in which integration and interoperability are critical capabilities and the complexity of this environment makes this difficult to achieve. Standards play a critical role in IIoT for five main reasons. First, users and vendors cannot engineer a custom interface every time components or systems need to interact. Standards can make this explosion of interfaces manageable; they are the lingua franca for interoperability. For suppliers, this eliminates needless costs related to common capabilities instead encouraging a focus on innovations that add value.
