IoT increasing productivity, but strategy lacking

摘要

Thanks to application of the Internet of Things (IoT), 72 percent of manufacturers saw increases in productivity and 69 percent saw improved profitability in the past year. According to The MPI Internet of Things Study conducted by research firm The MPI Group, half of plant production and equipment processes are already being managed via the IoT, and that number is set to climb. Findings reveal, however, that many manufacturers are leaving cybersecurity and research and development (R&D) financing out of their IoT strategies - if they've built a strategy at all.
