Digital transformation and energy transition go hand in hand, according to a recent study commissioned by Eaton, a global power management company. The study surveyed over 1,000 executives and found that businesses entering the era of…
One of the fundamental qualifications for digital transformation is the connectivity of devices and assets such as controllers, machines, products and even the operators along the entire value chain. Industries are building networks of seamlessly connected…
Located in Flintshire, North Wales, Connah’s Quay rests on the south bank of the River Dee. The current gas-fired power station was commissioned in 1996, although electricity generation activities have been operated on the land as…
One manufacturer ran 100 digitalization initiatives at once. Money left the company before anyone asked which ones produced results. At IIoT World Manufacturing Days 2023, panelists from Siemens, A1 Digital, Mestec, and HiveMQ explained why production…
This is Part 2 of a four-part series. Part 1 covered the workforce crisis and market forces driving industrial remote work. Part 3 covers human costs, regulatory compliance, and recommendations. Part 4 covers critical perspectives, the conclusion,…
There is an unspoken rule in manufacturing technology that overrides every software license, every boardroom mandate, and every digital transformation roadmap. It is the OT Veto. This isn’t a failure of leadership or vision. It is…
As manufacturers face volatile energy costs and aggressive decarbonization targets, the focus for 2026 is shifting from passive monitoring to active grid interaction. The following 10 platforms and technologies were highlighted by industry leaders during IIoT World…
Traditional robotics were remarkable in doing one repetitive task, which helped industries to augment efficiency. But now they are not just a bulky machine configured for uniform tasks; rather they perform their task with utmost precision…
