Internet technology can bring significant benefits to OEM manufacturers, but companies need to carefully evaluate their goals and existing resources, and adopt successful digital strategies. The digitization of production systems can help OEM manufacturers create more efficient supply chain management, stronger production processes, and better track supply chains, inventory, and finished products. When mechanical and factory engineering companies consider implementing the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) protocol to achieve these goals, they may worry that digital technology will bring disruptive changes to existing business models.

However, this change is crucial for achieving new growth, higher quality levels, and better customer service. The fiercely competitive market leaves many OEM manufacturers with no choice but to accept emerging digital technologies, and interconnected industrial systems may bring positive disruptive changes to their businesses.
