The industrial B2B service space is full of opportunities for entrepreneurs and new ideas. They range from applications in the sharing economy to utilizing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) infrastructure together with big data, analytics and algorithms to predict and improve asset and process performance (cyber-physical systems). Alternatively they might include using autonomous systems (robots, drones) to perform maintenance inspections in hazardous or inaccessible environments; Providing service engineers with new diagnostic tools and instant access to knowledge; Or providing new ways to improve the customer experience and personalize offerings. The applications are only limited by imagination and the reach of technology, which is continuously growing.
