IIoT on the plant floor: lessons from the field
Demos run in clean rooms. Plants don't. What it takes to ship industrial IoT that survives the real floor.
Industrial IoT lives or dies on reliability. A dashboard that's right 95% of the time is worse than no dashboard — operators stop trusting it, and the project dies quietly.
We design for the floor first: intermittent connectivity, noisy sensors, hardware that gets bumped, and people who need answers in seconds. Edge computing keeps decisions local; the cloud handles the long view.
Done well, IIoT turns a plant into a system you can see — and then a system you can improve.
