“We may soon see more manufacturing assets contributing to datasets through IIoT devices and advances in networking. Previously siloed data sources may soon experience more connectivity and collaboration. Advancements in computational power and analytics tools may enable more in-depth insights. More ready-made use cases may provide more value out-of-the-box. And more people will be eager to leverage these tools and insights to perform their jobs better.”
