Industrial AIoT adoption drives operational efficiency
Enterprises are turning to a mix of artificial intelligence and connected sensors – often called AIoT – to squeeze more efficiency out of industrial operations. A November 2025 InfoBrief by IDC, sponsored by SAS, reports that 62 percent of organisations worldwide have already adopted some form of this combined approach. The promise is clearer insight into production, maintenance and supply chains, which can translate into lower costs and new revenue.
The sticking point is scale. Many companies can run a pilot, but struggle to move these projects into full production across plants and regions. That gap between experimentation and day‑to‑day deployment remains the main barrier for decision-makers trying to turn industrial digital plans into real operational gains.
