Ask anyone who has successfully deployed one or more IIoT projects for their advice, and the answer is likely to be something like: “Don’t delay, just do it. The key is to quickly get to a working proof-of-concept.”

That may sound pretty straightforward, but what exactly do they mean? What are the specific best practices and tactics to employ on a first project that will set you up not just for an initial success, but also for future expansion of the deployment?

Join three industry professionals who are veterans of successful IIoT implementations as they share their insights and lessons learned in the trenches, starting with key steps to take leading up to launching a proof-of-concept (POC), including developing a problem statement, honing your value statement, aligning stakeholders, and surveying potential solutions.

We’ll also explore a variety of ways to approach the POC itself—from creating a hardware-free POC based on data alone to running a POC in stealth mode beneath the radar of your IT staff.
