Sensor and machine data sharing to become a business norm

Sharing sensor and machine data will become a normal part of business operations to improve daily operations and to leverage the big, but often segregated, volumes of data being generated by machines and sensors for commercial purposes, says office systems company Nashua CIO Yunus Scheepers. He highlights Nashua’s own operations – it operates a partnership service-model – in which it shares machine data from office devices with its partners to empower them with information, including repair, maintenance and operational data, to better serve end clients.
