From manufacturing analytics to robotic operating systems, we break down the vendors helping industrial companies improve connectivity for better process control, quality, and sustainability.
At the heart of “Industry 4.0” — the latest wave of manufacturing digitization — lies the industrial internet of things (IIoT), an interconnected system of sensors, instruments, and other devices that merges automation and artificial intelligence to power smart factories and process plants.
This system not only enables industrial companies to collect data but also helps them analyze it to boost efficiency and sustainability. These functionalities are particularly notable for manufacturing plants given that vast quantities of their data typically go unused.
In the market map below, we identify 112 IIoT vendors operating across 11 categories.
Note: Our map primarily includes private companies that have received funding in the last 5 years and have either submitted an Analyst Briefing or hold a Mosaic score of at least 400. This market map is not exhaustive of the space.
