From Reactive to Predictive: How IIoT Is Transforming Maintenance Strategies

Unplanned downtime remains one of the costliest problems in manufacturing. IIoT World explores how organizations are shifting from reactive, break-fix maintenance to predictive strategies powered by connected sensors, edge analytics, and machine learning models. Industrial maintenance…a…

The Future of Open Automation: Transforming Industrial Operations

For decades, proprietary control systems locked manufacturers into single-vendor ecosystems, driving up lifecycle costs and slowing innovation. Open automation is changing that equation by decoupling software from hardware through standards like IEC 61499 and the Open…

How Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is Transforming Industrial Automation

At the ARC Industry Forum 2025, Greg Orloff of IIoT World sat down with Thomas J. Burke, the Global Director of Industry Standards at Mitsubishi Electric, to discuss the evolution of industrial connectivity, focusing on CC-Link technology and the role of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) in…

AI and ML in Manufacturing: Turning Data into Actionable Insights

Since the Industrial Revolution, the manufacturing sector has generated vast amounts of data—too much for humans to process manually. So, industries like automotive, electronics, textiles, and pharmaceuticals are now leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning…
