Positioning with IoT
Van Rensburg said even though CIOs are openminded and embrace the fast-paced change of digital technology for IoT to be implemented correctly , there are several factors to consider .
He said one of these is laws and legal frameworks to support data-driven technologies and innovationdriven growth . He said with the right mix of policies , CIOs can reap the benefits of IoT and AI in the years to come .
“ An IoT environment delivers more intelligence on the assembly line or in the manufacturing process . Furthermore , it allows for data analytics to be captured and used to provide feedback , advanced notifications , state of health and other forms of reporting to improve the process throughout manufacturing operations ,” he said . “ All these elements become vital enablers in developing economies across the continent . CIOs must therefore take the time to integrate IoT into existing technology roadmaps .”
