Participants noted that companies that fund IoTfM research usually want case studies and return-on-investment data from which to base decisions about projects to fund. There was also discussion about a possible IoTfM showcase and demonstration facility to undertake research and to show results to current and potential sponsors.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAccording to Andrew Dugenske, principal engineer and director of the Factory Information Systems Center at GTMI, the discussion will definitely continue.
