This viewpoint examines the digitization of the life sciences manufacturing value chain through the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The life sciences industry is leveraging IIoT to deliver an interconnected asset ecosystem. IIoT platform vendors or service providers are making investments in enabling technologies such as RPA, analytics platforms, and cloud computing, most of which are already mature in other industries. Predictive maintenance has proved to be a leading IIoT use case in the life sciences industry. With the launch of COVID-19 vaccines, real-time tracking and tracing of vaccines using IIoT has emerged as another leading use case. In this research, we also look at IIOT implementation-related challenges due to stringent regulatory and data integrity standards in the life sciences industry. Additionally, the complex nature of the interconnected manufacturing set-up requires skilled labor and a developed infrastructure to bring about rapid changes in the industry. Only those service providers that can quickly identify and leverage IIoT initiatives will be able to reap substantial benefits. Scope Industry: life sciences Geography: global Contents In this viewpoint, we discuss: The digitization and evolution of life sciences manufacturing leveraging IIoT IIoT implementation approach, framework, and current scenario based on real-life use cases Challenges in IIoT implementation Membership(s) Life Sciences Information Technology Sourcing and Vendor Management

Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the core components of an enterprise’s broader digital transformation efforts. Enterprises have been favoring large-scale IoT implementation to not just increase operational efficiencies, but also create new revenue opportunities and enhance user experience. With this in mind, enterprises are now looking to further optimize the impact they achieve from their IoT implementations. Edge computing has emerged as one of the major enablers in this regard, and it is being used along with IoT to lower costs, reduce latency, and provide enhanced data security. As edge computing becomes an important part of IoT implementations, more and more processes are being moved to the edge and enterprises will have to take a new to accommodate this conflux of edge computing and IoT. The next step would be to establish a connected ecosystem to address data Gathering, Analysis, and Protection (GAP) across enterprise boundaries. This would mean complete data sharing across the value chain and increased collaboration among stakeholders to drive common objectives. Scope All industries and geographies Contents This research analyzes the current IoT landscape and presents a geographical, industrial, and technology-specific view of IoT adoption in the market.

As IoT systems become an indispensable part of our daily lives, it is vital to test these systems rigorously and stringently to ensure that they are secure, efficient, and function as intended. However, testing IoT systems is a complex exercise, with several Verification and Validation (V&V) activities required to ensure end-to-end system functionality. Moreover, as the popularity of IoT systems increases and new OEMs enter the market, the number of permutations and combinations that need to be tested increases further. Further, enterprises today realize that ineffective V&V of IoT products and systems can have a severe impact on their brand image as well as business operations. This has led to the need for a framework-led approach to V&V of IoT systems. This viewpoint describes the challenges that enterprises face in testing their IoT systems and the various activities that an end-to-end V&V framework should encompass. In addition, we detail the significance of these activities for different kinds of IoT systems. We also recommend technology enablers that can enhance the framework’s effectiveness and offer a snapshot of emerging techniques that will shape the future of IoT testing.
