According to an IDC InfoBrief, 82% of companies experienced at least one unplanned outage over the past three years, with an average cost of $2 million per event. Among heavy IIoT adopters, 63% report productivity and…
Predictive maintenance (PdM) delivers measurable returns, but building a credible ROI case requires more than vendor estimates. IIoT World created this executive guide to help plant leaders, operations directors, and CFOs quantify the financial impact of…
After years of pilot programs and proofs of concept, manufacturers want one thing from Industrial AI in 2026: proof that it works in production. Hannover Messe 2026 (April 20 to 24, Hannover, Germany) runs under the…
There certainly is no shortage of interest in applying AI to distributed energy operations. Battery storage operators want predictive analytics at the cell level. Renewable fleet managers want optimization recommendations across hundreds of sites. Grid operators…
Edge AI enables energy companies to monitor aging brownfield infrastructure by processing sensor data locally, replacing the diagnostic expertise lost as experienced engineers retire. At IIoT World Energy Day, panelists from TDK SensEI, HiveMQ, PrivacyChain, and…
In 2026, the primary barrier to manufacturing efficiency is the abundance of data. Modern plants now monitor tens of thousands of assets and hundreds of thousands of individual points. However, this connectivity has created a new…
Piezoelectric vibration sensors have been the factory standard for more than 50 years. According to Dr. Antoine Filipe, CTO of Tronics Microsystems, a TDK Group Company, MEMS-based digital sensors are now following the same replacement curve…
The industrial manufacturing sector is operating in an era of persistent volatility. To maintain global competitiveness,organizations are increasingly turning to the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). According to recent research from IDC: "71% use AIoT for predictive maintenance. Predictive…
The data challenge facing energy operations today Power grids, renewable energy sites, battery storage facilities, substations, and smart meter networks generate millions of time-stamped data points every second. This telemetry from sensors, SCADA systems, and field…
For decades, the power grid functioned as a one-way street: generation to consumption. Today, that model is being dismantled by the rise of the "Prosumer", businesses and municipalities that both consume and generate power. This shift is…
As energy storage systems (ESS) move from niche pilot projects to the backbone of the modern grid, a critical realization has emerged: the hardware is only as good as the software managing it. While a battery's…
For manufacturing leadership, every capital request comes with a projection: a return on investment, a payback period, a net present value. These metrics are designed to filter good bets from bad. But there is a new,…
