The IoT market is big and growing rapidly. \u00a0A report from Credence Research estimates that the global IoT market was worth $690 billion in 2015 and that it will grow each of the next seven years by an average of nearly 16 percent. \u00a0Gartner estimates that this year we will have 6.4 billion ‘things’ already connected<\/a>, up 30 percent from last year.<\/p>\n

One area that is ripe for the deployment of IoT technology is manufacturing. \u00a0To date, adoption in the manufacturing sector has been relatively low. \u00a0The potential is that equipment on the factory floor can be equipped with sensors, and the collected sensor data can then be fed back into both control and business decision systems. \u00a0GE, for example,\u00a0f<\/a>ocuses\u00a0on the term IoT relative to a manufacturing and industrial setting and calls it the Industrial Internet of Things<\/a> (IIoT).<\/p>\n

A survey by BI\u00a0Intelligence<\/a> found that 96 percent of executives from companies of greater than $1 billion in size thought that industrial IoT will be critical for their business success. \u00a060 percent of executives thought that IIoT is having a big impact on their operations.<\/p>\n

Iain Gillott<\/a>, president and founder of iGR, said that <\/a>“several key drivers, such as decreased costs and increased throughput and yields, may prompt more manufacturers to deploy IoT solutions. \u00a0Therefore, over the next five years, expect a growing number of wireless IoT sensors to be used by the manufacturing industry.”<\/p>\n
