This tells us that it\u2019s quickly becoming a crucial component within&nbsp;the&nbsp;industrial machinery&nbsp;industry. Knowing that this is a clear path for companies who want to accelerate their own digital transformation, getting started can seem daunting. Where should an organization even begin?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the benefits to production capacity and the reduction of energy consumption is a good start. Taking small steps along the road like incrementally increasing machine connectivity serves as a motivating and daily reminder of the benefits business can leverage to their advantage. Within the collection of so much data lies limitless potential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s episode of <em>Future-proof with the IoT<\/em>, J\u00f6rg Ludwig continues the conversation with Heiko&nbsp;Dickas, team leader of the digitalization team, and Sebastian Oeder, the head of the production unit main motors, both from Siemens Bad Neustadt, an electric motor factory in Bad Neustadt an der Saale, Germany. Also with us today are Portfolio Development Manager, Colm Gavin, and Head of&nbsp;PreSales&nbsp;and Solution Design,&nbsp;Matthias Lutz.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s discussion centers around how the&nbsp;industrial IoT&nbsp;can help companies with today\u2019s complex challenges within manufacturing. You\u2019ll hear why getting started is less about fancy analytics and more about machine&nbsp;connectivity, and how we can ensure customers that their data is not only safe but remains confidential.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some Questions Asked:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where should companies start with digitalization?
