We talk IoT: Alliances are key to IIoT success - Episode 27
Manage episode 354254375 series 3378840
Industry 4.0 is a phrase that has been around for over a decade. Yet, we are still waiting for the promised industrial revolution.
Our guests are Andreas Frank, Head of IIoT Business, and Dr. Christian Liedtke, Head of Strategic Alliances at KUKA.
We discuss why it is essential for companies to open their ecosystems—even their shop floors. Traditional business models need to change to make Industrial IoT fly. Solutions need to be interoperable. But why is digitization still such a struggle for companies? The secret sauce to IoT success: alliances.
