Industries that require precision placement of components, such as automation, are benefiting from the growing number of deployed sensors and from the insights generated from the data they produce. But is the The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) factory floor ready to handle the potential security risk?
In manufacturing, early identification of process or product variance allows early correction, which reduces defects and increases efficiency. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) enables a new way of targeting and reducing variability. Processes that require variable elements, such as temperature, pressure, and viscosity, or those that require precision placement of components, such as automation, are benefiting from the growing number of deployed sensors and from the insights generated from the data they produce.
