Avoiding industrial IoT digital exhaust with machine learning - IoT Agenda

The internet of things is speeding from concept to reality, with sensors and smart connected devices feeding us a deluge of data 24/7. A study conducted by Cisco estimates that IoT devices will generate 600 zettabytes of data per year by 2020. Most of that data is likely to be generated by automotive, manufacturing, heavy industrial and energy sectors. Such massive growth in industrial IoT data suggests we're about to enter a new industrial revolution where industries undergo as radical a transformation as that of the first industrial revolution. With the Industry 4.0 factory automation trend catching on, data-driven artificial intelligence promises to create cyber-physical systems that learn as they grow, predict failures before they impact performance, and connect factories and supply chains more efficiently than we could ever have imagined.
