The major trend driving the development of IoT technologies is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which is the next stage of the manufacturing industry, known as Industry 4.0. IIoT connects machines and devices in strategic industries like agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and energy production, allowing companies to collect real-time data and transform it into useful information to reduce resource consumption and improve productivity. Other trends driving IoT development include the growth of more sophisticated connected devices and the increasing demand for high-quality, customized goods at a lower cost, with faster turn-around times.
