The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming the way heavy industry works, creating more efficient, safe, and profitable operations in environments from factory floors and power plants to remote oil & gas (O&G) production sites and mines. Pervasive connectivity and low cost sensors enable sophisticated new IT and analytics applications such as asset management, predictive maintenance, and condition monitoring. In hazardous environments, the benefits of connectivity to crews are numerous and can facilitate tracking the location of underground miners, for example.
The proliferation of sensors in industrial environments provides a vast amount of valuable data. Advances in cloud computing make it possible to integrate machine learning, AI, and advanced analytics to quickly respond to the changing dynamics at industrial sites. Underlying all these applications and use cases is the networking that carries the data from equipment and workers to the soft systems that turn that data into operational intelligence. New communications protocols, particularly for wireless connectivity, are making IIoT a more economic choice and digitalization is an accelerating trend in heavy industry.
This Guidehouse Insights report assesses the competitive landscape for IIoT networking solutions providers, and how well different companies are positioned to address customer needs. This report is intended to help market participants better understand their competitors' solution offerings, differentiation, and track record in deploying IIoT networks. The report includes profiles of 17 IIoT networking vendors and ranks them according to Strategy and Execution scores.
