The IBM point of view on the Internet of Things

whitePaper | August 3, 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) fuses the digital realm with the real-world of objects and places and enables digital twins of them. These technologies drive innovation in application areas such as manufacturing, utilities, transportation, logistics and smart cities. The adoption of IoT technologies in industrial settings, known as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), enables gathering and analysis of data across machines, physical assets and processes to improve the flexibility and efficiency of systems at reduced cost. IIoT will increase the productivity, shift economies, innovate business models and foster industrial growth: a digital transformation (DX).
