Where AI, Industry 4.0, and IIoT Meet Maintenance Data Integrity

In the evolving landscape of industrial maintenance, one truth remains constant: the quality of maintenance decisions can never exceed the quality of the data upon which they are based.  As we stand at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Industry 4.0, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), this fundamental principle becomes even more critical. While these technologies promise transformative capabilities in predictive maintenance and asset optimization, they amplify rather than eliminate the importance of data integrity.
