For more than a decade, industrial companies have invested in predictive maintenance, using data to anticipate when equipment might fail. The next step, now being tested on the exhibition floor at Hannover Messe, is more ambitious: systems that not only forecast faults, but tell engineers what to do about them.

As industrial organisations accelerate their digital transformation journeys, the very instruments that underpin measurement and analytics – sensors, flowmeters, chromatographs, analysers – are rapidly becoming core cyber-risk assets. Once largely isolated, these devices are now deeply connected, feeding critical process data into remote systems, optimisation platforms and cloud infrastructure. That connectivity, however, requires careful consideration and adherence to security best practices.
