Industrial IoT

Big Size

“Minimize downtime of power generation services.”

Big Money

“Reduce fuel consumption across my airline.” 1% = $30B over 15 years

Big Connections

“Provide collaboration & visibility across enterprise.”

“Increase farm output despite weather conditions.”

Big Data

Big Organizations

“Help us define an IoT strategy!”

Difficult to mentally cache.

Dynamic and emergent.

Ambiguous beginning & end.

Complex information & sources.
