The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), also known as the Industrial Internet, is believed by many to be the next big information technology frontier, with the potential to add trillions of dollars to the global economy within the next decade. Incorporating such technologies as embedded sensors, machine-to-machine communications, big data analytics, and software-driven automation, the IIoT is a network of equipment, buildings, vehicles, devices and other things that will drive new efficiency gains, greater productivity and profitability, improved operational excellence and better customer experiences.
Penton’s IoT Institute, the Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network and the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Council are teaming to conduct a new benchmark study on where companies are in their IIoT journey and what they see as the most critical benefits of, and obstacles to, adoption.
