Industry 5.0 will empower people by positioning them back at the center of manufacturing. This will be achieved by focusing on a more strategic collaborative relationship between humans and machines in addition to increasing sustainability and resilience. Getting there isn’t only about embedding new technology – it will require a shift in mindset where companies […]

The thought of digitalization can be overwhelming. When we first started talking about IIoT or digitalization about a decade ago, the concepts were prescribed as an all-encompassing, top-down approach taking the industrial world from Industry 3.0 to Industry 4.0.However, that approach proved to be too big. Rather than identify real problems that could be fixed, […]

Manufacturing plants generate enormous volumes of data every second, from vibration sensors on rotating equipment to temperature readings in chemical reactors and throughput counters on packaging lines. Yet the vast majority of this data is never analyzed in time to influence decisions on the shop floor. In this article, IIoT World explores the end-to-end journey […]

The conversation around industrial robotics has long centered on mechanical capabilities: payload, speed, reach, and precision. But the true inflection point in robotics transformation is happening in software, particularly through advances in industrial AI, machine learning, and autonomous decision-making layers. In this IIoT World analysis, we examine why manufacturers investing heavily in robotic hardware without […]

For many industrial organizations, the edge has long been treated as a fixed, isolated part of operations. But as digital transformation initiatives scale—and artificial intelligence, analytics, and cybersecurity concerns intensify—this view is rapidly becoming outdated.Erik Nordmark, Co-founder and CTO at ZEDEDA, emphasizes that today’s industrial edge must be dynamic and software-defined. In his view, the […]

Access to the correct assets, equipment, and raw materials at the right time is vital for maintaining production schedules in a busy factory. Workers can spend up to 20% of their time searching for missing tools, leading to delays, frustration, and increased safety risks. These inefficiencies can cause significant downtime, especially in high-value manufacturing environments. […]
