There is movement afoot in the internet of things (IoT) space, and it’s going to change everything. More interestingly, the devices in the internet of things are getting smarter. It’s clear to us that edge analytics deploying predictive patterns that can intelligently anticipate events in real time (positive or negative) can bring tremendous value to our customers and partners. IBM has recognized that without real-time analytics, 90% of the data captured at the edge is lost in terms of using it for fault detection. As such, I think this is the year that the industrial internet of things (IIoT) will finally get the credit it deserves.
