This document discusses how Industrial Internet technologies can improve efficiency and performance. It explains that Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) uses open standards and technologies to connect devices, platforms, and control systems. This enables data sharing across operational technology and information technology. The document also outlines three key areas where smart manufacturing enterprises can excel: asset performance, augmented operators, and smart control. It provides an example of using IIoT for automatic switchgear mounting in cabinet production. Finally, it encourages starting small with IIoT projects to gain benefits and addresses cybersecurity and changing business practices.
