Making use of the Cloud
Making use of big data doesn't necessarily mean that a company will need to invest in additional hardware for the processing of the information collected. Many companies, instead, will prefer to take advantage of the flexibility offered by Cloudbased implementations that are at the heart of the IIoT. These solutions typically not only eliminate the need to purchase and manage IT equipment, but also provide the ability for information to be monitored from anywhere on any device via increasingly powerful online dashboards.

That said, there will always be situations where it is not practical to stream key manufacturing data to systems held outside of a company. The good news is that new and emerging big data solutions - backed up by support from companies such as Sandvik Coromant who can help to interpret the data with a view to the endtoend manufacturing process - means that the power of Cloudbased solutions and online dashboards can still be harnessed using inhouse facilities.
