Manufacturing professionals have been bombarded with messages from software vendors and media alike about the value of implementing one of the many new Production Monitoring/IIoT systems. 

To determine the value in this technology, engineering.com undertook a study in September 2018 of 254 manufacturing professionals 

We asked respondents about the level of production monitoring in their environments as well as their performance across several metrics including: 

• OEE
• Meeting scheduled deliveries
• Machine uptime
• Scrap/rework rates
• Quality
