ABSTRACT
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has enabled many new avenues for industrial engineers to perform their jobs. There used to be a need for an engineer to monitor, analyze, and improve a process manually. The inherent benefit of IIoT applications in industrial settings no longer requires in-person contact. Through the use of sensors, actuators, and data communication networks, businesses can now automate the data collection process to achieve KPIs. With this digital revolution comes the ability to access the data and improve the process from anywhere in the world. While IIoT brings many advantages that may improve a process improvement team's efficiency, it is not without some drawbacks such as security and cost. This paper will explore how IIoT enables remote improvements and how the COVID-19 pandemic has made remote work a fiscal possibility for many businesses. © IEOM Society International.
