Manufacturers are increasingly deploying Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies to enable smart, connected operations. This digitalization trend has major implications for risk management in industrial operations and the impact it has on safety, security, and productivity.

Over the past decade, industrial organizations have used operational risk management (ORM) to manage safety and environmental hazards in production operations, with the goal of safeguarding people, assets, and the environment. Now, in an IIoT world, new approaches to safety and risk management are available.

Read this spotlight to learn:

• How IIoT technologies are transforming manufacturing operations
• Impact of IIoT on productivity and safety on the plant floor and enterprise-wide
• Frameworks for using ORM to balance IIoT technology and safety functionality into the process control system
