Industrial leaders are looking towards new technology to advance their operations.
Facility Managers and other engineering leaders charged with ensuring safe, reliable, and efficient operations for complex industrial processes contend daily with the effects of rapid change in technological, market, and business process landscapes. For many, the promise of Industry 4.0 to drive new levels of efficiency, resilience, and agility remains a distant vision. Fortunately, several enabling technologies – including Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Machine Learning, and secure Cloud Computing – have reached a level of maturity and accessibility to bring the material benefits of Industry 4.0 approaches within reach of a growing number of industrial plants.
