Building IIoT Systems 2025

A survey by IIoT World

IIoT World would like to better understand your experiences in building IIoT systems. We would like to hear from project managers, architects, development managers and senior technologists who are working on or researching IIoT projects. This 6-minute survey explores the challenges, opportunities and technologies used to build IIoT systems.

The deadline for taking the survey is Thursday, October 16, 2025. We will publish the highlights from the survey in a future report on IIoT World.
