IIoT: Just the Basics (Video)

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is such a hot topic these days. Is it all just hype? Or is it really as revolutionary as they say? That’s a choice that can only be made with a bit of education on the subject, so Okuma’s Jeff Estes has started a new video series called “Industrial Internet of Things – Just the Basics.” The goal is to provide a high level understanding of what’s possible when using IIoT in the machine tool world, and here are the first two videos in the series.
