Terrific, thank you for your response, Mr. Stephenson! No question from me about the impact of IoT in driving efficiencies (OEE) and Lean results (reducing muda, waste). And I cannot disagree that 100% quality control is feasible with IoT; though, I might reposit the claim as 100% quality assurance. I really enjoyed flipping through your 'IoT: filling the Predictive Analytics data void' presentation (slidesha.re/1nNuJM8), which reminded me of an 80s Readers' Digest anecdote. A renowned physician (thoracic surgeon, as I recall) was addressing medical school graduates as part of Harvard commencement and warned that 50% of what the graduates learned is inaccurate. The real problem, according to the renowned surgeon, is that we don't know which 50%. While I know the state of medicine has progressed profoundly since the 80s (progress primed to likewise accelerate with IoT), the story reemphasizes a quote in your presentation, "Can't interpret data you can't get!" And IoT is fundamentally about improving via more, better measurement with real-time, closed-loop optimization on a grander scale across very complex systems. Thank you for sharing!
