According to IoT Now, three-quarters of Industrial IoT (IIoT) projects fail at the pilot stage. The most persistent roadblock to IIoT success is “complexity”. This complexity manifests itself in a variety of areas: the lack of interoperability between Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT), the absence of specialized technology and expertise required to build an IIoT infrastructure, operational difficulties associated with managing relationships with multiple IoT vendors and working with multiple carriers across different parts of the world – these problems and a range of other challenges relating to device subscription, certification and management, have persistently derailed many IIoT projects.

Despite these challenges, there have been notable exceptions: by enlisting the help of experienced IoT partners and adopting the right set of technologies, some companies have succeeded in abstracting away the inherent complexity of IIoT transformation and narrow their focus to what matters most: the data about their business. What lessons can be learned from their IIoT journey?

Join Robin Duke-Woolley (CEO, Beecham Research), Serge Mvongo (Marketing and Business Development Manager, IoT Solutions, Sierra Wireless) and Manish Amin (Principal Solutions Specialist, Azure IoT Central, Microsoft) as they explore the ground realities of IIoT implementations. Their unique perspectives, honed over years of experience in helping companies drive digital transformations, will offer rare insights into how industrial companies can simplify and scale their IIoT projects.
