The document discusses how connecting devices and collecting data through the Internet of Things (IoT) can create unprecedented value for businesses but also poses challenges. It argues that harnessing 50 billion connected devices generating 35 zillion bytes of data daily could enable new revenue streams, cost savings, and efficiency gains through personalized, ubiquitous, and automated solutions. However, integrating legacy systems, a lack of standards, security issues, and failing to analyze data effectively could limit these opportunities. The document proposes that Intel can help businesses overcome these challenges through solutions that connect, manage, analyze and secure IoT infrastructure and data to optimize industrial systems and unlock manufacturing intelligence.
