In the age of the Internet of Things (IoT), connected tools for specialized inspections are no longer a dream of the future, but a reality of today. Whether you are using a videoscope to inspect the inside of a failed gearbox in a wind turbine, a borescope to look at dirt build up inside a recently detached plane engine, or an ultrasonic device to view pipe welds, the right tool and knowledge determine how quickly you can resolve the issue.
It’s been the year-of-IOT for a few years now. Have we not arrived yet?
I’m getting ready to attend another IoT conference and as I’m reading through the speaker bios and descriptions of the sessions, I notice how the dialogue in most field service circles has jumped into topics like IT/OT convergence, deep analytics, AI, AR, and DevOps success stories. As a “seasoned” field service guy, this seems like a lot of “IT speak” and it is costing companies a lot of money. The fact remains that, in 2017, 94 percent of companies actively spending on IoT deployments are not generating profits from that spend.
