The global Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market is growing exponentially, reaching across all industries and all sectors. 

Meanwhile, edge computing is exhibiting synchronicity with companies implementing IIoT systems. From a tradition emphasizing automation equipment, operational technology teams are now increasingly turning attention away from their tools themselves to take a closer look at the data generated by their systems. This shift in data emphasis is due in part to the explosive growth of data and a growing realization of its value. 

Along with increased usage of data, importance of data is also rising. A valuable asset for IIoT efforts, data must be protected if industrial companies hope to be successful with analytics. Among other concerns, this means that companies must find ways to ensure a reliable infrastructure and secure connectivity. 

This is where where edge computing can help. Enterprises should consider merging their IIoT applications and software with comprehensive predictive modeling capabilities. By managing large amounts of data, edge computing can simplify solutions, reduce costs and relieve the burden on IT teams. 

With the future of IIoT looking bright, edge computing multiplies the possibilities for its use in enterprises.

Telit Cinterion demo averages 1-2 cm IoT positioning in testing with corrections sent over LTE

Telit Cinterion demo averages 1-2 cm IoT positioning in testing with corrections sent over LTE

At The Things Conference in Amsterdam, Telit Cinterion demonstrated a CMB100 LTE Cat 1 bis kit feeding Swift Navigation correction data into its SE868K5-RTK receiver. The receiver averaged 1-2 centimeters in testing. In a finished product, performance still depends on signal level and antenna quality.

  • 01The CMB100 cellular setup fed Skylark Nx RTK corrections to the SE868K5-RTK receiver, which averaged 1-2 cm in testing.
  • 02Demo figures come from controlled testing; the receiver's own launch materials say final performance depends on signal level and antenna quality, so product enclosures and antenna placement need their own validation.

Toyota estimates 1T yen/year for automation from 2028

Toyota estimates 1T yen/year for automation from 2028

Toyota told investors factory automation could cost about 1 trillion yen ($6.4 billion) a year from 2028 across Toyota, group companies and major suppliers, CNBC reported. Toyota also said it could take roughly 400,000 robots. The company has not committed to the spending or said how long it would run, CNBC reported.

  • 011 trillion yen ($6.4 billion) per year estimated spending on factory automation starting 2028
  • 02About 400,000 robots needed across Toyota, group companies and major suppliers including replacements and new installations
  • 03Automation scope covers industrial robots, automated material handling, and future human-robot collaboration on factory floors

Flexxbotics touts 125% capacity gain as it updates platform controls

Flexxbotics touts 125% capacity gain as it updates platform controls

Flexxbotics says its platform turns production signals into authorized actions. It cited a 125% capacity increase at PMI and an 89% downtime reduction at EIS. For multi-site operators, the question is which actions can run autonomously and which require human approval.

  • 01Design News listed customer results alongside Flexxbotics’ IMTS 2026 release, including PMI’s reported 125% capacity increase and EIS’s 89% downtime reduction.
  • 02Flexxbotics is selling governance as much as analytics: teams predefine where the platform may act, which responses are authorized, and when human-in-the-loop approval is required (WhatTheyThink).
  • 03Protocol-level connectivity is central to deployment scope, with “Transformers” described as supporting bi-directional communication across more than 1,000 makes and models, a practical proxy for how much brownfield equipment can be brought into a closed loop without rip-and-replace (WhatTheyThink).
