Industry 4.0 Industry 4.0, IoT, and IIoT What Does IIoT Mean For Factories? The technologies of Industry 4.0 make data readily available and automate the communication between industrial automation equipment and systems. This enables predictive analysis for machines as well as process optimization across the factory floor. Visibility and Remote Access Increase Efficiency In order to ensure efficient processes throughout the factory, machine operators must quickly and easily determine the status of machines. The greater the visibility, the easier it is to identify and resolve problems and keep...
