Manufacturing is the quintessential use case for the Industrial Internet of Things. Production lines and industrial machines can see large jumps in productivity by adding internet connectivity and sensors to monitor production conditions, including temperature, humidity, noise, or vibrations. The insights generated by these sensors can be used to improve industrial processes, saving manufacturers money and increasing productivity.
Key drivers for IoT adoption in manufacturing include the need to cut costs, including via energy efficiency, worker safety, and maintaining productivity levels by avoiding machine breakdowns and downtime. IoT technology can also lead to new business models and ways of working, such as hardware as a service, in which a factory leases machinery from the manufacturer, which is responsible for maintenance and repairs.
This Guidehouse Insights Market Focus report discusses how IoT is being deployed in the manufacturing sector, focusing on uses for wide and local area networks for connectivity, sensors to capture and communicate conditions on the factory floor, and analytics to determine the optimal running of machines and when breakdowns are likely to occur. It provides forecasts for the expected investment in IoT in manufacturing by global region through 2031.
