Manufacturers of industrial goods are met by huge challenges. Not only the product is important, but also the additional services that can be offered to the customer. Some manufacturers even face a change from a product-centered business to a service business.

There are two requirements for industrial services: intelligence and connectivity. Intelligence is needed to capture, filter, and treat real-time data. Connectivity is required to make key data available to the manufacturer, irrespective of the machine location.

It combines data from various sources into valuable information and makes this information available wherever it is used. IIP provides the intelligence and connectivity required by an industrial service business, it is in fact an enabling technology for industrial services.
