Siemens ’ MindSphere : Empowering the Industrial IoT revolution and digital enterprise
Industry 4.0 is here
Around the globe , industries are searching for new ways to optimize operations , improve products , increase sales , and reduce costs and risk . Automation , digitalization and the adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things ( IIoT ) are key requirements for companies that are embracing Industry 4.0 , as they seek to lower costs , drive new efficiencies , and find new business opportunities .
During the race toward IIoT , however , some have struggled to unify disparate assets that lack standards or a universal method of connection .
