Over the past decade, the speed of innovation has accelerated. From sensors to wireless connectivity to data analytics, IoT has infiltrated nearly every industry. The oil and gas industry is no exception, embracing digitization at a faster rate, and as a result seeing dramatic improvements in efficiency and safety that will further transform the industry. Prior to digitization, oil and gas drilling and completions operators had predominately low-tech methods for monitoring and managing their processes. Visual inspections and manual estimations created large margins for error and also put the safety of personnel and the environment at risk.

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in 2017 has been staggering, with 8.4 billion devices currently in use, and a total of 25 billion devices projected by 2020. As the use of these devices continues to increase, so do the associated risks. By 2020, it is estimated that 25% of cyber attacks will target IoT devices. We surveyed IoT users from around the world to better understand their behaviors and concerns.

According to Netscribes research, the global smart factory or Industrial 4.0 market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% and will reach USD 74.80 billion by 2020. Over the past few decades, the manufacturing industry has gone through tremendous change. The traditional automation has been transformed to complete automation with the emergence of IoT which includes the convergence of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, robotics, cloud computing, augmented reality, and big data. The emergence of Industry4.0 or IIoT (Industrial IoT) will help manufacturers to meet the dynamic needs of the consumer market by integrating the supply chain, production line, and quality control.

M2M is a subsystem of the Internet of Things—but not the other way round. Their key difference is that in M2M the physical-first products are connected on a closed and point-topoint basis, while in the IoT this happens on a more open and multipoint basis. What constitutes a physical-first “Thing” is a moving target, relying on the perceived novelty of products going smart and connected. Therefore, what is considered part of the IoT today may someday be considered a natural part of the Internet of Digital.
