Abstract

The manufacturing industries are under tremendous pressure to improve production quality, increase production efficiency, stay competitive, enhance employee safety, data security and remain profitable. The IIoT is the only hope which can support manufacturing organisations to stay competitive. There are multifold advantages from IIoT for manufacturing industries. This paper investigates four factors which can impact adoption of IIoT in manufacturing industries. These four factors are Awareness of security threats, Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy and Facilitating Conditions. There are many papers and articles highlight that awareness of security threats are main concern in adoption of IIoT. This paper will explore if other reasons are impacting adoption of IIoT or not.
