The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way maintenance professionals collect asset information and exchange data with other systems. As things all around us are outfitted with sensors to communicate what\u2019s happening within and around them, this valuable data has the potential to shape your maintenance team\u2019s productivity and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Gartner reports<\/a> that by 2020, approximately 26 billion of these connected devices will be in place. This rapid integration is partially driven by the affordability of the IoT.<\/p>\n

“By 2020, component costs will have come down to the point that connectivity will become a standard feature, even for processors costing less than $1. This opens up the possibility of connecting just about anything, from the very simple to the very complex, to offer remote control, monitoring, and sensing,” said Peter Middleton, research director at Gartner.<\/p>\n
