Industry White Papers
- Vertical Standards Landscape
This paper addresses the question of which standards are relevant to certain vertical industries as they design and deploy IIoT capabilities. It also explains the rationale behind the choice of those vertical industries. The paper concludes with recommendations and with a call to submit additional or revised material for future updates.
– From the Standards Task Group - Digital Transformation Enabler: Machine Learning
This white paper is a playbook that provides a high-level description of digital transformation and of machine learning (ML) technology (artificial intelligence). It offers examples and insights into ways ML has been successfully deployed in industrial IoT environments to transform those businesses and their operations digitally.
