In some cases, a worthwhile distinction is made between the Industrial IoT and the Consumer IoT. As we saw in Chapter 1, our definition of Enterprise IoT is less about specific application domains and more about openness and integration maturity. In this chapter, we will take a closer look at some of the more industrial applications of Enterprise IoT, starting with a discussion about how IoT will transform manufacturing from the perspective of both product engineering and production technology.
Integrated Production for Integrated Products
We believe that the IoT will have two main areas of impact on the current manufacturing landscape. The first concerns the organizational structure that is required to produce truly integrated IoT solutions.
