Ivanti Wavelink announced the results of a joint survey with VDC Research regarding the state of industrial supply chain operations and the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things solutions.

For industrial organizations, IIoT platforms offer significant promise to unlock new business models, deliver improved customer experiences, address the disruptive impact of downtime, and ultimately provide greater operational resilience.

These trends include improvements to IIoT platform functionality and ease of use, simplified development of IIoT applications through access to APIs and established communications protocols, lowered costs of sensors and data storage and the development of edge computing that shift computation from the cloud to the shop floor.

While many industrial organizations are underway with IIoT pilots, challenges still exist with few organizations fully scaling up their IIoT-enabled solutions.

"The bottom line is that industrial supply chain operations overall are moving forward on the IIoT technology maturity curve," said Brandon Black, SVP and GM, Ivanti Wavelink.

"This is great news as IIoT transforms business operations by delivering optimal business outcomes, focused worker experiences, reduced costs and increased revenue. Maximizing IIoT's value requires the commitment of leadership to ensure that IIoT is not just an IT initiative, but an organization-wide effort."
