Top 5 predictions for the IIoT in 2018

Adoption of the IoT and IIoT in 2018 shows no signs of slowing down. If anything, adoption and implementations will only increase. Sastry Malladi, CTO of FogHorn Systems, has shared his top five predictions for the IIoT in 2018: 1. Momentum for edge analytics and edge intelligence in the IIoT will accelerate in 2018. Almost every notable hardware vendor has a ruggedized line of products promoting edge processing. This indicates that the market is prime for Industrial IoT (IIoT) adoption. With technology giants announcing software stacks for the edge, there is little doubt that this momentum will only accelerate during 2018. Furthermore, traditional industries, like manufacturing, that have been struggling to showcase differentiated products, will now embrace edge analytics to drive new revenue streams and/or significant yield improvements for their customers.
