Manufactured goods are placed into products in multiple verticals. For example, a battery will be placed into an electric car or a magnet into an MRI machine in a hospital. Manufacturing, therefore, covers all industrial internet of things’ verticals, from smart cities, to automated vehicles to healthcare and mining. Not to mention the factories themselves. The GIO Smart Manufacturing Working Group was established to bring these threads together and examine factories, deployments and modes of manufacturing, from batch-size-one to discrete manufacturing and continuous-process manufacturing. Our focus so far has been in the factory, which will be discussed throughout this paper
