What does the Industrial Internet mean to you?

The Industrial Internet can feel unfathomable, partly because so much of the action is taking place offscreen—beyond your view. The very nature of machine-to-machine communications is that humans frequently don’t need to do anything.
Computer programs sift machine-performance data in real time for patterns and anomalies, and embedded algorithms in the software determine what the computer will tell the machine to do next.

This enables industrial applications, where machines work in unison or in co-operation—think wind turbines or the machinery in a manufacturing plant—to become much faster, and more efficient.

In other scenarios, connected machines communicate to enable a more informed human response.

This video, produced in partnership with The Australian, puts the Industrial Internet into vivid context, both how it’s at work in your life now, and where the big machine gabfest is leading us.
