AI will drive the industrial IoT to the cloud
summary
Argues AI pushes industrial IoT into the cloud by needing large-scale training, digital twins and coordination of millions of microgrids; claims electrifying transport requires 75% more electricity by 2050 and grid/plant inefficiencies (manufacturing ~45% output, grids ~40% capacity, half of food wasted) make cloud optimization urgent. Shows working hardware: a circuit breaker that runs apps and predicts demand peaks, a trash-sorting robot trained in the cloud, a data‑center “sheriff” robot, motor crawlers and a transformer diver, plus methane‑detecting drones. Predicts autonomy rising from 10:1 human:robot to 1000:1 as control moves from edge to cloud.
