IIoT without the hype: a pragmatic playbook

IIoT without the hype: a pragmatic playbook

Every IIoT project we've rescued started the same way: someone bought sensors before anyone wrote down the question they wanted answered. By the time we arrive, there's a warehouse of LoRaWAN kit and a dashboard showing temperature in a room nobody cares about.

Our playbook is boring on purpose. Pick one production question. Instrument the smallest path to an answer. Prove value in eight weeks. Then expand.

It is dramatically less exciting than a 'digital factory transformation'. It also actually works.
