Many industries are looking to 5G to help move data at lightning speeds from edge devices and networks to more centralized decision-making systems.

Most manufactures (84%) are currently implementing or evaluating digital manufacturing strategies, whereas only 27% were doing so in 2018.

We may look back at this time as the inflection point toward the “lights-out” factory of the future, and even “Industry 5.0.”

Autos may be the ultimate edge devices. They are geographically dispersed and provide real-time streaming data, while enabling autonomous actions.

Every situation is unique. What is clear, however, is that a balance between cloud and edge computing will likely drive tomorrow’s IoT architecture.

Servitization helps companies better serve customers who need proactive or predictive maintenance and helps ensure greater business resiliency.

Disruption is coming at us from many different directions. We have, at a macro level, economic volatility. We face, in our markets, innovative competitors. We need to meet customer expectations every day, every hour, every minute.

While advanced technology adoption may seem pervasive, many businesses may still be relying on simple PCs, or even pens and paper, to get work done.

Potential ways blockchain can provide support to IoT networks include provisioning, usage tracing, and asset decommissioning.

Edge computing applications, like information technology itself, are only limited by one’s imagination.

AIOps gives operators information to make an intelligent decision quickly or it can be used to automate the decision itself.

Organizations face significant challenges deploying IoT infrastructures and discovering insights from the vast amounts of device-generated data.
