Industrial organizations have embraced automation to improve operational efficiency and reduce human error. By and large, however, industrial automation is siloed – it is applied to individual aspects of the business, but not used holistically across the organization. The key to extending automation throughout your business is hyperautomation.

But what is hyperautomation? Gartner calls it the No. 1 technology trend for 2020. Hyperautomation is the application of advanced technologies to automate processes even more, breaking down data silos and further enhancing efficiency and decision making. To successfully achieve hyperautomation, industrial organizations need transparency across their entire operations. With an industrial Internet of Things (IoT) solution, you can capture and analyze data from plants, processes, and products enabling this level of visibility.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through four specific areas where integrating industrial IoT can help you accelerate hyperautomation.
