The Data Is Already Here, It’s Just Not Equally Distributed | IoT For All
Many enterprises find early success at “proving the concept” of industrial IoT, but fail to realize monetary benefits from their investments. Providing value requires solutions that do more than extract data from machines in the field, store it in the cloud, and display it in an app – which is as far as most proof of concept projects go.
Successful enterprise IoT systems must go beyond the machine to cloud pipeline to gain traction. Achieving business outcomes from connected products requires an integrated flow of information throughout the organization, combining and re-combining data from machines and enterprise systems into insights and actions. Unless your initial “concept” includes solutions for data access and distribution challenges up front, you haven’t proven anything.
