Industrial control systems (ICS) are the backbone of modern manufacturing—but they’re also becoming prime targets for cyberattacks. With 70% of manufacturers facing attacks each year and average downtimes lasting 24 days, the cost of inaction is too high to ignore. That’s

For manufacturers, downtime is costly. Studies show that 82% of industrial asset failures are random, making scheduled maintenance often ineffective. This is where AI-powered predictive maintenance, enabled by IIoT technologies, is changing the way factories care for machines—helping to cut downtime, lower

Talk to any plant manager and you’ll hear the same frustration: too many proofs of concept, not enough results. The real opportunity isn’t running another pilot—it’s building scalable systems that deliver measurable value every day. That’s where Industrial IoT (IIoT), machine learning (ML),

For the fifth year in a row, IIoT World is inviting industry leaders to contribute to our annual survey: “Building IIoT Systems 2025.” Each year, this research captures the state of industrial digital transformation, helping project managers, architects, development managers, and senior

Everyone’s talking about AI. From pilot projects and co-pilots to promising dashboards, artificial intelligence is cropping up left and right in manufacturing. What’s rare, however, are wide-scale implementations that deliver measurable results on the factory floor. In fact, IDC estimates

Every factory depends on expertise — the intuition of a technician who can hear when a nozzle is misaligned, or the experience of an engineer who can trace yield loss back to a single feeder. But that expertise is disappearing

Industrial IoT adoption is accelerating, driven by the promise of real-time insights, automation, and operational efficiency. Across sectors like manufacturing, energy, and smart infrastructure, organizations are connecting more equipment than ever before. But in the rush to connect, one critical

October 2025 offers a busy schedule for professionals in industrial IoT, manufacturing, and ICS cybersecurity. From large trade shows to focused virtual events, industry leaders, engineers, and technology experts will gather worldwide to explore the latest solutions in automation, digital

Extreme weather events, rising renewable penetration, and cyber risks are exposing a critical weakness in global power systems: our grids were designed for reliability, not resilience. While reliability is about minimizing day-to-day interruptions, resilience is about recovering quickly from major
