>Home IoT might be crap, but it really has a place in manufacturing and monitoring. What will IoT will bring to manufacturing that hasn't already existed for the past few decades?

I worked with a framework called XMII (formerly Lighthammer[1]) that integrated with SAP and allowed us to read from various sensors collecting data on manufacturing lines and built dashboards for monitoring.
