STEP supports broader implementation of sustainable technologies and practices within a Canadian context by: • Carrying out research, monitoring and evaluation of clean water and low carbon technologies; • Assessing technology implementation barriers and opportunities; • Developing supporting tools, guidelines and policies; • Delivering education and training programs; • Advocating for effective sustainable technologies; and • Collaborating with academic and industry partners through our Living Labs and other initiatives. Technologies evaluated under STEP are not limited to physical devices or products; they may also include preventative measures, implementation protocols, alternative urban site designs, and other innovative practices that help create more sustainable and livable communities.

While marketers have been ‘the voice of the customer’, businesses must be structured in a way that enables collaboration across all functions – whether a CMO or CCO is at the center of that shouldn’t matter to truly serve that purpose. Strategic alliances and ecosystems leaders can and should play a key role in ensuring appropriate and beneficial collaboration. • Monitor market shifts. Track market trends as well as alliance and ecosystem developments in Asia. Companies are identifying and addressing current business gaps and GTM approaches that could create future competitive forces or provide success models for other markets. • Continue to evaluate all alliance and ecosystem business opportunities and approaches to success with key partners.

  • How Iot Is Transforming the Industrial Ecosystem Market Drivers, the Changing Industrial Landscape and Strategic Considerations Introduction
    How IoT is transforming the industrial ecosystem Market drivers, the changing industrial landscape and strategic considerations Introduction IIoT: Industrial as an IoT application The Internet of Things (IoT) will affect broad portions of the manufacturing process in large and significant ways. – Industrial Ethernet has been around since early 2000, but products like field devices remain unconnected or provide only one-way communication. – Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) features two-way communication: Data is fed up to controller level (and to the Cloud in the future), but feedback is also provided to devices. Introduction A host of considerations When—and how—to introduce IIoT into manufacturing environments is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Discover industry challenges driving Explore factors contributing to the demand to implement IIoT solutions changing industrial ecosystem Examine device- and connectivity-level Review relevant factors while opportunities for introducing IIoT navigating the changing landscape Where are we now? Technology development Sensors are widely used in the manufacturing environment. But while their use will become more widespread, the ability to connect and transmit more data faster and with improved integrity will be the true enabler of IIoT. 90 90 Discrete control and visualization 80 80 Encoders 70 70 Industrial robots 60 60 Mobile assets Motor controls 50 50 Motors, generators and turbines 40 40 Process control and instrumentation 30 30 Pumps and compressors 20 20 Sensors Switchgear 10 10 2016: 99M IIoT 2021: 252M IIoT devices shipped devices shipped Where are we now?
