Why your IIoT Implementation will fail without PLM as its Backbone.
In my experience spanning IIoT implementations in electronics and industrial manufacturing, PLM engagements across automotive, medical, and general manufacturing, and advisory and workshop engagements across multiple sectors, I have seen a framework so consistent it has become predictable.
An organisation invests in IIoT. Sensors go on machines. A platform ThingWorx, Ignition, AWS IoT, gets deployed. Dashboards appear. Management is impressed. Six months later, the dashboards are still running. Nobody is acting on them.
The technology worked. The transformation did not.
The reason is almost never the IIoT platform. It is what was missing underneath it.
