Industry IoT Consortium
Early in the evolution of the IoT, analysts and pundits were obsessed with the ability to connect billions of IoT “things” to the Internet. Not only were most of these predictions proven overly optimistic, but the linkage between sheer connectivity and meaningful business outcomes was loose, at best. We now witness a similar data deluge campaign: given enough data and clever computational techniques, we can make learning systems more “intelligent.” But is it enough?... Read more →
An early definition of artificial intelligence was one of “thinking machines” that could make decisions like humans, and with some people, elicited a fear that these thinking machines could actually replace humans in the manufacturing world. Today’s perception of AI, however, is geared more towards machines that exhibit human reasoning as a “guide to provide better services or create better products rather than trying to achieve a perfect replica of the human mind.”...

A big part of Industry 4.0 requires the successful integration of the supply chain into the manufacturing process. In the ideal vision, a close cooperation, with rapid information sharing, is established between suppliers, the manufacturer and end customers. But this vision demands a major paradigm shift from traditional manufacturing infrastructure.... Read more →
