How The Industrial Internet Will Change The Industrial Sector

The Industrial Internet brings together intelligent machines, advanced analytics and the creativity of people at work. Marco Annunziata, an economist, calls it the marriage of minds and machines. In this TED Talk he looks at how technology is transforming the industrial sector, creating machines that can see, feel, sense and react, so they can be operated far more efficiently. Think: airplane parts that send an alert when they need to be serviced, or wind turbines that communicate with one another to generate more electricity. It's a future with exciting implications for us all.
