Its origins can be traced back to the development of the first programmable logic controller almost 60 years ago – but it’s only now that industrial engineering and manufacturing is beginning to fully reckon with the Industrial Internet of Things’ (IIoT) potential.

As our guests highlight in the latest episode of Beyond the Blueprint, IIoT is now entering an exciting new phase with the help of next-gen technologies, such as machine learning and AI. The road to this point, however, has been filled with many other important milestones, which have ultimately given customers a much greater degree of visibility and control of their assets.

It’s these milestones that serve as the starting point for our conversation with Corene Newbery and Aviran Yaacov. Both guests share insights into how Aircom and EcoPlant – two Ingersoll Rand businesses – are tackling complex challenges and delivering efficiency to customers worldwide with industry-changing technologies. You’ll hear about the big problems these businesses are solving, as well as the customer-centric thinking that led to the creation of these powerful solutions.

Be sure to listen to the end of this episode, where we take a glimpse into the future and question what’s next for IIoT.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Putting IIoT in context – why is this technology so powerful and where is it making an impact?
• The technology’s development to date – and its position within industrial engineering and manufacturing
• Appetite for data and how this can be used to improve performance – even over large geographical areas
