Industrial Internet – Thematic Research

The Industrial Internet, a market General Electric (GE) once predicted would account for $15 trillion of global GDP by 2030, will redefine the way much of the global industrial economy operates. It is part of a fast-evolving ecosystem of intelligent machines running their own logic and communicating with each other. However, a key use case – predictive maintenance – has so far failed to take off, with organizations struggling to integrate it into their existing operations environments. Several manufacturers are also fretting about putting sensor data in the cloud.

Cyber threats are also a concern. Factory floor legacy systems were never intended to be externally linked and operations managers tend to think about site safety before cyber safety.

Key Highlights

Two years ago, GE was the leader of the Industrial Internet pack, with its Predix framework set to be the Industrial Internet platform of choice, but GE lost its way. Now, leadership of this market – which will be worth $145bn by 2023, according to GlobalData forecasts – is being assumed by the software, data analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) specialists like Amazon, Microsoft, and SAP. Industries such as manufacturing, energy, pharmaceuticals, utilities, and agriculture are adopting sensor and AI technologies that are driving a sea change in how these businesses are run. The insurance industry too is taking a keen interest.
