Today's Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) encompasses advances in sensor technologies, connectivity, analytics and cloud environments that will expand the impact of data on enterprise performance management. Recent market analysis predicts that lowered sensor cost, energy requirements and ease of connectivity will result in an explosion of industrial sensors and sensor-based data. For example, Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group predicts that by 2020, 50 billion IIoT devices will be deployed and active.
