The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to reduce energy consumption, transform supply chains and, in general, improve the quality of life for billions of people. But, it’s not going to be easy. IoT will involve getting OT and IT together and figuring out how and when to adopt new technologies such as machine learning or creating protocols for secure data sharing. We know because we’ve been in this ‘new’ market for over 35 years. Over 1,000 leading utilities, 95 percent of the largest oil and gas companies and more than 65 percent of the Fortune 500 industrial companies rely on the high-fidelity insights from the PI System to run their businesses. The PI System™ can be found inside offshore oil platforms and food manufacturing facilities. We’re helping medical researchers analyze data from wearables and tracking power production across nations. So what are some of the things to remember about IoT?
