The future of business is centered around actionable data. With so many IoT solutions and integratable platforms for automating and capturing data on processes in a company, the biggest inhibitor is knowing where to start. On today’s Industrial IoT podcast, we sat down with Tim Quinn, CEO and co-founder of ThingTech, a company passionate about IoT and how it is helping companies improve. Quinn is especially focused on the Industrial Internet of Things and solving problems for companies all over the world by pulling data from “things” like automobiles, work trucks, tools, machinery, or even construction equipment.

Quinn has found where companies struggle the most with understanding how many steps captured data goes through to provide valuable insight. After being collected, data is processed and analyzed for location information, diagnostic information, condition data, and any other useful or relevant information. Then, it’s used to predict asset failures, coordinate how to better utilize assets, and to better deploy assets and workforce according to people’s schedules and needs. In essence, accruing data can bring preventative and reactionary maintenance without a single human hand having to get involved.

ThingTech has found its best success in creating custom solutions for each kind of client, since no two are alike and each captures a unique data set. To truly get the most of an IoT solution, you have to have the end goal already set so the technology is a means to an end, rather than a band-aid correction. During interviews with clients, Quinn finds out what types of equipment they own, what their biggest challenges are and what issues affect both top and bottom line. Things like fuel consumption, theft prevention, capital replacement schedules, company spending, and asset leveraging can be used to make overnight returns on investments on equipment that ThingTech supports.

For more information on how your business can gain productivity, further leverage your assets, find mistakes you may be making in controlling your assets, and what’s new and exciting in the industrial world of IoT, give this podcast with Quinn a listen.

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

A 3.5% utilities jump led September's rise in US industrial output

US industrial production rose 0.7% in September, led by a 3.5% jump in utilities output while factories added only 0.3%. Factory output remains below its 2017 level. Total capacity use hit 76.9%, but manufacturing's 75.9% rate shows slack persists on production lines even as mines run above their long-run norm.

  • 01Manufacturing utilization has held between 75.8% and 76.0% since April, 2.3 points under its long-run norm.
  • 02The November 17 release is the test: a factory operating rate breaking out of its six-month band, or utilities giving back September's 3.5%, would change the read on where capacity is tight.

Rugged computers grow 5.8% a year, slower than the industrial IoT around them

Rugged computers grow 5.8% a year, slower than the industrial IoT around them

IndexBox's new forecast puts rugged computers at $6.8 billion in 2026, growing 5.8% a year to $11.3 billion by 2035. Industrial IoT forecasts run faster. Their growth estimates range from 8.16% to 16.8% a year, which points field-device buyers toward connectivity, software and services as the faster-growing part of the spend.

  • 01Rugged computer forecasts of 5.4% and 5.8% trail the 8.16% to 16.8% projected for industrial IoT, pointing to faster growth in solutions and services than in devices.
  • 02Market-size estimates disagree far more than growth rates do: one firm's 2032 rugged forecast of $5.57 billion is below another's 2026 figure of $6.8 billion, so device budgets can benchmark growth rates and treat total size as background.
  • 03Connectivity, including 5G and satellite links, is moving onto the rugged spec sheet next to durability as demand shifts toward connected, real-time data capture in the field.

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Case picking automation fails when nobody schedules the human

Vecna Robotics' CaseFlow system orchestrates both robots and human workers, emphasizing synchronized scheduling to address case picking inefficiencies. Zone-based dispatch prevents robot congestion, and Robotics 24/7 reported in October 2026 a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS site.

  • 01Vecna reported a two times throughput gain and up to 90% less worker travel at a GEODIS deployment, Robotics 24/7 wrote in October 2026.
  • 02Vecna says on its site that CaseFlow reads demand from the WMS in real time, which is what turns a robot platform into a case picking workflow.
  • 03Prime Robotics says on its own site that goods-to-person lifts productivity up to six times; Vecna says on its site it delivers two times or more with no fixed infrastructure and deployment in four weeks or less.
