Manufacturers all over the world are always looking for ways to optimise performance in every aspect of plant production. One approach focuses on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) as a way to produce quantifiable gains in asset management, thanks to advances in wireless networking, miniaturisation, & more powerful processors that are turning IIoT sensors into mini-PCs. The basis of the industrial internet of things, the real-time dynamic of data analytics, is creating both new opportunities & challenges for manufactures. And it has become a routine for us at A&D India to provide you with updated and precise information on the trends in these areas through articles, interviews and discussion reports published issue after issue.
Continuing the trend, we have brought to you Cover Story on optimising process reliability with a realistic approach to IIoT. It talks on how IIoT can support continuous improvement & address problems to increase plant availability, safety, & reliability.
