Most manufacturers are facing similar challenges when considering the implementation of IIoT or Industry 4.0 projects. Companies want the benefits of faster, more informed decision making; increased efficiencies and productivity; and the possibility of averting machine failures or shutdowns. However, it is possible that certain issues during the design phase can prevent a project from even getting started.  

These issues include: 

• A scope that is too extensive, taking on too much at once 
• A lack of internal resources 
• A deficiency of knowledge or expertise 
• Communication issues between devices 
• Fear of having to replace all legacy equipment 
• Uncertainty about what data to collect and how to present it
