2020 was a year that no person or company will ever forget. The Covid-19 pandemic changed everything. Overnight, people, communities, businesses and public sector organisations were faced with a health crisis not seen in this magnitude in over a century.
From a business perspective particularly,...
2021 will be the year industrial IoT gets ‘massive’, when companies decide, after the impact of Covid-19, to make change, and to accelerate their digital transformation. In technology terms, a major driver of this ‘massification’ will be 5G, and in particular private deployments of...
Following four years of research and interviews with leaders in the industrial IoT (IIoT) space, Cambashi has settled on nine ‘verticals’, or ‘connected market areas’ for IIoT applications. These are: buildings, cities, infrastructure, products, production, supply chain, transportation, and workers.
Although the internet is often involved...
Time for an update on the state of play in the industrial IoT platform market; there are numerous studies and rankings of the principle platforms in the space, but Gartner’s annual Magic Quadrant review remains the gold standard, and the one Enterprise IoT Insights...
The industrial internet-of-things (IIoT) is here to stay. Many heavy industry companies in fields such as engineering, mining, oil and gas, and manufacturing are accelerating their adoption of digital transformation journeys due to recent global events.
The barriers to adopting IIoT technology has also...

Stephen Mellor picks up where he left off, and where we left him: the challenge with industrial IoT to gain widespread adoption is as much to do with interpretation as with deployment. Different industrial disciplines have different demands, even if they sometimes appear the...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) has added new definitions of ‘IoT sensor’ and ‘IoT actuator’ to its updated ‘dictionary’ of technical definitions for the industrial IoT (IIoT) sector. These terms describe similar IoT devices with dissimilar definitions, it says.
We consider these definitions, below.
The...
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to bring about a truly connected future, powering everything from smart homes to smart cities. Where we see a particular impact, however, is in the Industrial IoT (IIoT), where the exponential potential of connected sensors, machinery...
5G is emerging. Industrial IoT is growing. Everyone has heard the phrase, it’s the next ‘big thing’. It’s faster internet, but what does it really mean for you? Check out this series of blogs to help you understand exactly what 5G means.
