ACD Blog How to start your first IIoT project

You've probably been wondering about the talk on IoT, Industrial Internet of Things, or data-driven manufacturing. How do you actually get the project done and at the same time be able to realize the value of remotely monitoring your machines, getting data from the plant, finding and eliminating inefficiencies, managing machine health, and simply getting visibility into the factory floor. Very few companies actually talk about the details of how to do it and also talk about the lessons learned. We're here to actually pull back the curtains a little bit and give you more insight into how it happens. This might be a good guide for you to do it yourself, if you like...you're more than welcome to do so. This is also a good guide for you to work with an IIoT systems integration partner to get the job done as well. We'll talk first about what IoT is and the value very briefly to get everybody on the same page. Then, we'll talk about the process for planning a project, and then implementing that project. Lastly, we’ll review a lot of lessons learned we've gathered over time doing this kind of work.
