The manufacturing industry has reached a critical inflection point. The era of "pilot purgatory" is over. Based on the insights from IIoT World Days 2025, the next phase of industrial transformation is defined by three core…
Achieving world-class Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is a top priority for manufacturers, yet most facilities operate well below the 85% benchmark that separates leaders from laggards. Predictive maintenance powered by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)…
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, staying competitive means being smart with your operations — and smarter with your investments. Leading organizations are turning to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimize processes, cut costs,…
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming modern manufacturing by enabling connected, data-driven processes that improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance decision-making. Manufacturers increasingly rely on IIoT to optimize production, but proving its return on…
The role of the data historian has changed a lot since the 1980s, and it’s time to rethink how it serves us. Industry 4.0 demands better integration between OT and IT systems, allowing teams to centralize…
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…
Licensing is a big part of using Aveva’s industrial software. But, like many powerful systems, it can be confusing and expensive. In this post, we'll discuss the challenges of Aveva’s licensing model and why it can…
Traditional industries have evolved by implementing many Industrial IoT practices, where we can get data from mechanical devices and sensors. Such real-time data monitoring helps perform better analysis, predict equipment failure, and reduce operating costs. However,…
The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) helps bind machines, sensors, and systems together. This IIoT World article, sponsored by InfluxData, examines how time series databases support predictive maintenance in industrial IoT environments. They form a network…
A new technical paper is now available, offering critical insights for industries seeking to modernize their data historians and improve overall operational efficiency. This paper explores the evolving role of data historians in the era of…
Have you ever wondered how industries using smart devices handle tons of unique data loading on their server? High cardinality data allows for detailed tracking and monitoring of each sensor, machine, and device in real-time. Finding…
The smart grid transformed modern energy management by integrating digital technology into traditional power grids. It enhances real-time monitoring, control, and optimizes energy distribution and consumption. This change is crucial for meeting the growing need for…
