The Internet of Things & the Future of Field Service
What is IoT?
The Internet of Things refers to the connectivity of physical devices (or “things”) through sensor and other technologies that allow the devices to send and receive data. IDC predicts that 42 billion devices or “things” will be IoT-connected by 2025. Industrial organizations, particularly in manufacturing and energy, increasingly recognize IoT’s importance: over one half in the US are already deploying IoT in a pilot or production setting.
