traditional industries are those industries that have been around for some time. Businesses with a traditional way of doing things. You can expect IoT to make an incursion into these industries in 2019 as they are natural homes for it. For instance, a company that manufacture pumps and valves can leverage on IoT to develop a new and innovative line of business by combining it with their products to make new “smart” connected products. 2018 demonstrated how plausible this is when IoT investment by these industries became so important as to be a table stake. This is because innovators in them have found a way to use IoT to provide viable solutions to real world problems. And with the ease with which knowledge and skills are shared in the world today, it is only natural to expect to see widespread adoption of IoT in industries such as; oil and gas, manufacturing and other traditional industries.
