How to get started with Industrial Internet?

In the future, the Industrial Internet won't just change your production processes, it will also change the way you think about your business and the way you get value from it. The utilization of near real-time-analytics and artificial intelligence will empower a shift toward autonomous mills or plants. The future autonomous mill will communicate its maintenance needs well in advance, and you will be able to concentrate on the most important aspect of your business: your customers.

But what is the Industrial Internet all about, what you need to know about it and how to get started with it? Download Valmet's Industrial Internet guidebook and find why and how data can benefit your business!
