Industrial Internet of Things
Make your Shop Smart!
The Industrial Internet of Thing (IIOT) is a part of a large concept known as the Internet of things (IOT). The Internet of Things is a collection of network-connected devices that have the ability to transfer data with each other independently over a shared network – creating opportunities for shop owners and manufacturers to gain a better insight into their operations.
The application of this technology in the manufacturing sector is called the Industrial Internet of Things.

How can this technology help my business?
IIOT technology has advanced to benefit all shops. We’ve highlighted a few of the benefits IIOT technology can bring to your business.
Communication
IIOT technology allows machine-to-machine network communication, including network based robotic integration and automation. This communication allows shop owners to expand production by operating their machines remotely and more frequently with automation.
Data
The more information shop owners have on their operations, the more they are able to gain insights into their operations to improve efficiency, quality, and, profit!
Monitoring
IIOT technology allows machines to transmit manufacturing data directly to a 3rd party client. The client receives and processes the data for the shop owner to review while they’re busy elsewhere in their shops.
This data helps machine owners get a better picture of their Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
Saving Money
Besides alleviating some of the headaches associated with capturing vital manufacturing data and more, the biggest impact IIOT shop implementation has is saving money.
Optimizing manufacturing operations through data monitoring helps shop owners resolve costly issues before they occur.
MTConnect + MachineMetrics
Maximize production and profits by visualizing your manufacturing data using MTConnect combined with the MachineMetrics platform so your data is displayed in a way that everyone can understand.
What's in it for me?
The first question a shop owner should ask is: is IIOT technology worth it for my shop?
Even if you have just one machine:
IIOT Can:
- Provide shop owners with tools to better manage costs, inventory, and operational efficiency.
- Collect and monitor machine data remotely so shop owners can do better things with their time.
- Automate the often labor-intensive, manual data collecting process.
- Provide better transparency between machines, operators, and shop owners.
IIOT Cannot:
- Magically solve all shop issues.
- Automatically make inefficient machines run efficiently.
- Become a one-size-fits-all solution – strategic implementation to address particular shop needs is still required.
