Momenta Advisory joins discussions on IIoT, edge intelligence, and digital twins
Taking place in San Jose on May 18-19, IoT Tech Expo North America brings together leaders across IoT, AI, digital twins, and enterprise transformation.
Industrial transformation is not being held back by sensors, connectivity, or dashboards.
It is being held back by execution.
Across industrial environments, initiatives stall in the same places. Systems do not integrate cleanly. Data is available, but decisions do not move into workflows. Ownership becomes unclear across IT and operations. Pilots work, then scaling slows as complexity increases.
That is the gap between connected systems and measurable performance.
At IoT Tech Expo North America in San Jose on May 18, the conversation shifts from what is possible to what gets deployed, adopted, and scaled in real operating environments.
This is not just a technology conversation. It is an execution conversation.
This is where Momenta Advisory works with industrial leaders: helping teams move from concept to deployment, and from deployment to impact.
Meet Momenta Advisory at IoT Tech Expo North America
If you are attending, join us in person for two panel discussions, moderated by Momenta Advisory partners Douglas Harp and Bill O'Such.

Panel Discussion: The Connected Factory: How is IIoT Powering Efficiency and Innovation in Manufacturing?
Connected factory initiatives are widespread, but turning IIoT investments into consistent operational results remains uneven. In this session, industry executives and technology leaders examine how IIoT is delivering real impact in manufacturing environments today.
As Doug Harp, Managing Partner, Momenta Advisory, puts it:
IIoT delivers value when connected systems move beyond visibility and are embedded into decisions, workflows, and daily operations on the factory floor.
The discussion will focus on real-world deployments and measurable business outcomes, exploring where connected factory programs succeed, where they stall, and why. It will highlight the architectural, organizational, and integration choices required to move beyond pilots and scale repeatable impact across production lines, plants, and manufacturing networks.

Panel Discussion: Turning Data into Action with AI at the Edge: Key Strategies for Success in Business
Edge data only becomes valuable when it drives meaningful results and material ROI. Panelists will discuss how AI at the edge accelerate this objective especially in mission critical operations. Expect insights ranging from governance, deployment models, and cultural shifts required to embed real-time edge intelligence into your business.
As Bill O’Such, Strategy Partner, Momenta Advisory, notes:
Edge data and applications become valuable when hype is replaced by measurable ROI
This session explores the critical factors driving edge success and the required balance of fluid computing in a robust, scalable and OT-friendly manner.
It will also challenge common assumptions around build vs. buy, examining whether pre-configured AI vendor platforms (tailored to domain-specific data streams) are outpacing custom-built solutions in delivering value today.
From deployment to impact
Across industrial technology, the market is moving past experimentation. The focus is now on systems that integrate into existing infrastructure, operate reliably, and deliver measurable outcomes.
From Momenta’s perspective, industrial technology creates value when it moves from concept into practice. That means solving the bottlenecks that slow execution: integration, architecture, data readiness, and organizational alignment.
That is where Industrial Impact is created.
