Modern industrial systems serve a wide range of applications, from process control and manufacturing automation to robotics and beyond. Solutions for these demands require precision and efficiency, leveraging advanced device intelligence and network connectivity. Companies can maximize ROI by gathering real-time data to drive analytics that help lower costs and improve efficiency.

Industrial IoT enables functionalities like real-time production-line monitoring to correct product quality problems and predict equipment maintenance issues. The biggest challenge is deploying and integrating the communications and sensor modalities that are becoming available. 

In this episode, we talk to Felix Galindo, a Principal Engineer at Digi International. Digi provides secure, reliable connectivity and infrastructure for business-critical applications, sensor-based monitoring, and compliance solutions. The company offers an integrated platform for device connectivity, cloud services, and lifecycle management with network access and automation for data centers and distributed IT environments.
