Industry 4.0 and IoT are transforming the manufacturing sector, but the need to improve quality is what is driving competitive innovation and the change is already underway. There are several key efforts to look out for and end-users looking for a solution, engineering companies designing IoT projects, and technology providers in the IoT ecosystem should be well aware of these core components while avoiding closed solutions that provide all of these blocks using private technologies. A selection that generally compromises the evolution and maintenance of the project over time. In the case of the Odoo platform, it has been designed to be open so that it can be easily integrated with third-party systems and so that external developers can extend and make use of the platform's functionalities.
