Beyond the traditional factory, industries of all shapes and sizes employ machinery to deliver value to their customers. Automation and connectedness are the driving forces of innovation, as applications for the Industrial Internet of Things and machine intelligence take hold. Additionally, advances in fields such as optics, materials science and chemistry are adding new functions, improving the durability and lifetime of machines and allowing them to run on their own for longer periods of time with fewer external power requirements. At the same time, new technologies also challenge the longevity of existing equipment, creating crucial obsolescence management decisions and creating opportunities to leverage older equipment for new purposes.

We decided to use PreScouter to test out their service. Once we started the project, and the data started coming in, we realized that we were learning a lot of interesting things. As we drilled down further and further, the majority of items turned out to be very useful. My opinion went from PreScouter being a service "it could not hurt to try" to being a service that produced very valuable results.

For the project we engaged PreScouter on, most people who have been working in this area for the last 20 or 30 years have a tendency to think inside the box. I wanted to get diversity of input and spark inter-sectional innovation. PreScouter delivered.
