The Industrial Internet of Things is not an initiative. It is now a real-world application. For organizations that are data-driven, IIoT is where rubber meets the road.
The fourth industrial revolution being hallmarked by growing networks around people and things. As the internet becomes more mature, we’re seeing a new era of innovations building on to the influence created by social media. It is the Internet of Things (IoT) which aims to connect people to smart devices. Industry players are seeking ways of leaner and smarter production to remain competitive. Industrial IoT (IIoT) comes in with provisions of monitoring and preventive maintenance to improve productivity. The end goal is optimizing the life of production assets.

Reliability is a procedural science at its core. This simply means that it is guided by a discipline to follow the set procedure and incrementally improve. As human beings, we tend to have a slight weakness in strict adherence to procedures. Sometimes with reliability, it is usually a result of not having the fundamentals down that we end up with inconsistent operations. Ricky Smith, a renowned reliability expert shared nuggets of wisdom from his seasoned experiences. ᐅ Play Episode

My guest today is Alun Morgan, he is a Technology Ambassador at Ventec International Group.
Our conversation today is all about cars, and the increased reliability expectations associated with their electrical systems. The electronics in modern vehicles provide an unpresented level of safety, not just for the driver, but for those people and objects around the vehicle. Because our cars go in and out of harsh environments, the circuit assemblies within the car are subjected toheat, humidity (and other sources of moisture), which contribute to reliability and therefore safety.
We’ll discuss one of the primary failure mechanisms of circuit assemblies, an issue that can affect the operation of the safety systems within the automobile, it’s a real issue that for many is not well known.
I spoke with Alun from his office in Scotland.

It can be planned—when you have bigger jobs to perform such as condition-based monitoring—or it can be unplanned in case of small corrective actions of simple fixes.
In this episode, we covered:
