How Industrial IoT is Enabling the Rise of ‘IoT at Scale’

Gartner have predicted that within 2 years , 5% of customer service cases will be autonomously initiated in a hyper-connected world with more and smarter ‘things’ that connect to the internet. Modern field service solutions need to be built on an Internet of Things (IoT) -ready platform capable of dealing with, and making optimal use of, the huge increase in connections and data volumes that are a result of this trend. They also need to connect seamlessly with the core ERP processes to keep the service policies, inventory, cost accounting and billing to remain in synch in the real-time.

There's gold in legacy devices—if you can reach it. Long-serving equipment, machines and systems may be the backbone of industrial manufacturing, but many if not most were built and installed in the years before today's on-board microprocessors and Ethernet or wireless network connections were available. It's this lack of data processing and connectivity that makes it difficult to access the useful data that many plant-floor devices contain. However, there are a few ways to overcome these obstacles, and take advantage of the insights and efficiencies this equipment can provide.

The internet has evolved from a human-centric client-server based architecture to one where humans and assets (or things) are equal stakeholders. Do our databases, middleware, and client applications still stand up? In this talk, Gilmore outlines the unique challenges of data operations and analytics in the IoT environment, examines how human and machine interactions drive architecture and deployment, and identifies where we could work to improve our data strategies to fully leverage the IoT opportunity.
