Integrating Cloud Computing and Big Data Analytics into the Global Industrial Internet of Things Market

In simple words, the industrial internet of things (IIoT) implies the utility of IoT and all its technologies in the field of manufacturing. But there is so much more that could be said, and even more that needs to be explored. For now, the concepts that are a part of IIoT include machine-to-machine communication, managing sensor-generated information, machine learning, and of course big data analytics. And although the usage pattern might be different, the goal of using IIoT is always the same: Implementing machines and smart processes to create a confined framework that can get the job done a lot more efficiently and accurately than older automation systems or even humans.

There are a few questions imperative in concluding the current status of the global industrial internet of things market, all answered by industry experts from Transparency Market Research.

Big Data and IIoT: Will they Grow Together?

Big data analytics is a major part of the industrial internet of things. Many industry verticals are now highly dependent on big data analytics to save them time and to organize the incoming massive tangle of data. IIoT and big data analytics are considered to be two of the topmost results of the current digital revolution, and it makes sense to pair them together for better results.

It is almost certain that once IIoT becomes a definitive and integral part of manufacturing globally, the number of connected devices will explode exponentially. Applying data mining strategies and big data analytics to this field could end up yielding immensely useful results.

How is Big Data and IIoT Integration Expected to Pan Out?

The way the global industrial internet of things market is progressing in terms of technologies and implementation rates, big data analytics is set to be an integral part of manufacturing. IIoT by itself already adds a large number of advantages to the way manufacturing happens. Adding big data analytics to the mix will allow companies to extract vital process data that can help them define the areas where they are strong or are falling behind. Leading players such as Accenture and General Electric have expressed high optimism over the way IIoT will complement big data in the near future.

Should Cloud Computing be Made a Core Part of IIoT?

The utilities of cloud computing in the Internet of Things realm has already been established as a major one, if not an irreplaceable one. Somewhat similar boundaries apply to the same with the global industrial internet of things market. While it is not an absolute requirement to use cloud systems to manage an IIoT structure, it will definitely make things a lot easier. The key concepts of cloud computing, such as PaaS and SaaS can be welded seamlessly into an IIoT manufacturing infrastructure. Additional assistance can be gained for issues such as predictive maintenance, customer engagement, fraud detection, and supply chain optimization.

The global industrial internet of things market can benefit from PaaS or even Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) in deriving novel business models or optimizing predictive maintenance solutions. Industries do need to be highly concerned with the advantages that the global industrial internet of things market can bring to the table. The way the industrial race is being played out is changing rapidly, and companies need to make use of these advantages to improve their standing and market shares.

Demand for Smart Motors to be Driven by their Promise of Improving Operational Effectiveness of Associated Devices and Networks

The landscape of manufacturing systems has seen a substantial change in the past years owing to the migration of industrial controls from manual toward intelligent and automatic devices.

Does the Future of Smart Devices Market Pose a Threat to Mankind?

More than half a century ago, Kurt Vonnegut described how life would change, and not for the better, with automation taking over manual work processes. His book “Player Piano” foresaw the impact of automation and development of smart devices on the world and stated that it would render a large workforce jobless and useless. Meanwhile, the techno-enthusiasts and technology experts still went on to design self-driving vehicles, self-flying killing machines, and artificial intelligence that seems to be performing at par with the human mind. The smart machines are developing at an unstoppable pace and a clear example of it is the leap of high-end computing devices from desktops to our pockets.

Although these machines have made life easy and it is only tempting to make them do more while we sit back, order around, and get the job done, voices about the potential risks associated with smart machines are only getting louder. It is in this milieu that the global smart machines market’s future will be shaped.

Q. How will smart machines change the future of human resource?

A. According to a research report published by Transparency Market Research, the smart machine era will experience a growth spurt by 2020 as a large number of people are expected to adopt technologies such as smart advisers, personal assistants, and technically advanced industrial systems. The technological advancements in speech recognition technologies, artificial intelligence, and ability to teach machines in order to create high-level automation techniques are poised to form an intelligent robotic workforce in lieu of the human workforce, thereby eliminating room for human error to create seamless work processes.

Q. How will smart machines change lives?

A. From smartwatches to augmented reality glasses the future of smart machines is left to limitless imaginations of engineers and designers. Digital technologies are changing lives one step at a time but at an accelerated pace. These systems are trained to work in tandem with artificial intelligence that learns algorithms to solve day-to-day problems without human intervention. Researchers predict that these disruptions in the world of IT will change our lives in several ways, boosting economies, and truly changing the healthcare sector. Surgeons are already using robots to perform keyhole surgeries for operating with precision and accuracy. The day we have wearable physicians on our wrists won’t be too far at this rate. 

Q. What potential losses could companies in the smart machines market face?

A. Today, the unthinkable thinking machines are no longer a work of literary science fiction, but a reality that’s much closer to home than we think. Though the advancements in technology are leading to incredible products and services, they are also taking a toll on the human workforce by replacing them.

According to a survey conducted by The Associated Press, 1.1 million secretarial jobs were rendered useless in the United States between 2000 and 2010 as employers and bosses were able to manage their meetings and travels by simplified software solutions. Glaring Labor Department Statistics indicate that 64% of the telephone operators dropped in the same time frame along with 63% of word processors and typists, 46% of travel agents, and 26% of bookkeepers.

The rate of progress in the global smart machines market is set to increase dramatically as huge investments are being pumped into research and development. Knowledge-intensive industries, such as healthcare or legal services, will have to work towards reaching out to the masses in reduced time and with efficiency, instead of operating in set physical buildings and conventional setups to retain a competitive edge.

Experts at Transparency Market Research believe that though smart devices will be able to perform incredible jobs, replacing skilled labor, the only way of defeating Vonnegut’s prediction is by managing smart machines to free us from glitches of current technology and errors of manual labor, instead of letting them enslave us.
