The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is spurring a new wave of data telemetry-based investments in the manufacturing industry. Also known as industry 4.0, it merges machine data with manufacturing, service, and sales tools creating connected intelligent factories. The results are increased visibility into operations, streamlined production, and improved customer experience, all while minimizing costs.

Today, HMS has already enabled thousands of companies, large and small to capitalize on IIoT. OEM machine builders and systems integrators have reduced their support-related travel by up to 50% while improving their customer experience.
