creating the ‘ Factory of the Future .’
With the increased demand for products and new assembly lines , manufacturers will begin to look at harnessing IoT technologies to increase the efficiencies of their manufacturing processes . A major area of focus will be to drive towards machine learning , which in its simplest form is making machines smarter on their own so they run more efficiently and intelligently based on their environment , and what i s around them .
By implementing IoT into the manufacturing process , maintenance issues can be optimised and costs associated with downtime drastically reduced .

The importance of analytics IoT technologies have the potential to make processes more efficient but in today ’ s world they also require a dedicated team of data scientists to apply advanced algorithms to mine actionable insights . It ’ s all well and good having the ability to mine vast quantities of data from factory processes , but there is a need to make this data relevant , actionable and integrated into daily operations in order to improve
