Ann: Interface implements Vivids intelligent IoT lighting, page-14

Interesting perspective on how integrated cloud and analytic solutions are driving IoT adoption in many industries.

Manufacturing operations spent $102.5 billion on IoT in 2016. But despite this significant investment, many discrete manufacturers are not sure how to bring all these different pieces together into a single platform. Integrated cloud and analytic solutions are solving this problem.

VIV lights (collecting 3.3 million data points annually per node) use algorithms to continuously adjust a number of attached sensors and allow for predictive maintenance - optimising cost and reliability.

Giants like Google, Amazon and Facebook were all built on a bedrock of data. Data is the new oil in Industry 4.0
