For what I see, this is a problem for the consumer market on one side and for the small manufacturers on the other. Big industrial players like General Electric, Bosch, Phillips, etc. are deep in this already with their QA protocols and their own software platforms, think of Predix.io. Nothing more than another line or an extension of home / office / factory appliances for them.
