The manufacturing industry is undergoing a technology transformation.

Today, advanced technologies are reducing human intervention to a minimum - often to the point of simply pressing a few buttons.

And the overall benefits are enormous.

In addition to slashing costs, today’smanufacturing technology创造速度，精度，效率和灵活性；让制造公司比昨天的惯例相比要竭尽全力。

在激增的后面？物联网（物联网）和云计算。

Manufacturing technologyis deriving tremendous benefits from IoT, allowing electronic communication between devices connected to each other via the internet without human intervention.

这种发展的虚拟关系已经并且将继续对制造业产生深远的影响。

IoT enables connected devices to "talk" to each other and send and receive critical notifications.

Here’s a small, but revealing illustration of its power:

Imagine a notification of a defect or damaged ping. Once the issue is detected, the IoT connected device instantly sends a notification to another device or a user, making all concerned instantly aware.

物联网在制造中的这种很小但至关重要的应用导致停机时间减少，质量增加，浪费减少和总体成本减少。

The implications and potential impact for manufacturing are so colossal, that IoT as it applies to manufacturing has become known under the more common acronym ‘IIoT.’ (Industrial Internet of Things).

物联网的自然扩展是云计算。

Cloud computing uses a network of Internet-connected remote services along various points to store, manage, and process data.

Many companies adopted cloud computing some time ago but the manufacturing industry has been easing in –somewhat wary of connectivity and security concerns.

但是，随着时间的流逝，随着云计算变得越来越稳定，更可靠，并获得了更广泛的接受，越来越多的制造商决定了巨大的好处云技术提供的巨大好处，从而减轻潜在风险。

在需要快速有效共享数据的各个地理区域中分散的制造工厂中实现了一个明显的上行空间。

The result? Reduced costs, greater quality control, and an increase production speed.

Onemanufacturing technology物联网和云计算都产生巨大影响的地方是machine monitoring.

Machine monitoring involves the automatic collection of data from machines so that companies can use the data to provide real-time visualizations and notifications, as well as refer to historical analytics to help factory workers make faster and more informed decisions.

物联网允许使用实时仪表板的即时通知，从任何机器或制造过程中提供数据。

云计算创造了一个现代，安全的环境，使公司可以从任何地方访问其生产活动。

As a result, machine downtime, quality issues, and poor performance can be tracked and categorized automatically.

Machine monitoring is a perfect example of how IoT and cloud-based technology is changing an industry.
