A new survey of global manufacturers shows that nearly two-thirds of those companies plan to run internet-connected facilities in five years' time. The 2017 Manufacturing Vision Study from Zebra Technologies Corp. found that the percentage of manufacturers embracing the Industrial Internet of Things would jump from 43 percent this year to 64 percent by 2022. Half of participating manufacturers expect to adopt wearable technology by 2022, and of those currently utilizing wearables, more than half expect to increase their use during that timeframe.
