The document discusses a motor manufacturer's journey with industrial IoT projects of increasing scope and complexity. It began with a small project to collect motor parameter data during testing, which provided benefits like item tracing. This led to collecting load profile data from the field and analyzing it in the cloud, improving maintenance and quality. The most advanced project measured individual container weights and sold the data, reducing fuel costs and generating recurring revenue. The document advocates starting IoT projects now to gain experience rather than waiting, and emphasizes thinking big but starting with smaller, low-risk initiatives.
