Running Mark Burnett on developing an effective lubrication strategy to help maximise productivity
he industrial internet of things (IIoT) has been lauded as a possible solution to the looming threat of unexpected
downtime. The rationale behind this is that smart equipment will be able to provide status updates and alerts to engineers before a breakage occurs. However, this is not an alternative to an in regards to lubrication. Adoption of the IIoT has manufacturing for some time. Now that it is no longer an abstract concept, it is understandable that One such ill is unexpected downtime.
