Industrial IoT covers a vast scope, but at the same time it is in its nascent stage with just handful of across the enterprise deployments with proven ROI. Deployments have been limited to either complete department coverage like in Data Centers with DCIM or a niche area like Fuel Automation Management or just a Proof of Concept(POC) covering a complex business operation like Supply Chain.

Vendor agnostic and Cost Effective Solutions
Most of the solutions from equipment vendors are usually specific to their own brands and are not vendor agnostic. However customers may have to support multiple machines of the same category from different vendors in multiple facilities. Therefore, solutions from individual equipment vendors are not going to be useful from a perspective of centralized management and would also be expensive to operate. Moreover, most of the solution providers just stop with monitoring and sending alerts and don’t analyze the data.
