Why Traceability is an Essential Foundation for IIoT-Enabled Manufacturing Systems

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies can lead to a dramatic increase in production quality and throughput but they're often not the plug-and-play solutions that many companies in the manufacturing sector may expect. To get the most value from an IIoT solution, manufacturers need to thoroughly understand the nature of their operations and invest in a robust, real-time traceability system to collect relevant data in a proactive and systematic way.
