A recent IFS research study shows double-digit growth when it comes to the number of companies collecting IoT data on production lines. According to IFS, the increase illustrates that more organizations have moved on from using IoT only to monitor individual components or machines and have started to look at their company's big picture.
Still, the percentage of organizations who have integrated IoT data streams with their enterprise resource planning (ERP) software hovers at just 16 percent. Here, IFS chief product officer, Christian Pedersen, discusses how IoT growth can revolutionize the way HVAC contractors manage their workers in the field.
