Abstract
This research study was conducted to understand the adoption of
the Internet of Things as a technology in the Australian manufacturing
industries. As a part of the study, the adoption of the Internet of
Things in the manufacturing domain was identified as a dependent
variable through various online literature reviews. The following five
independent variables were then identified as follows: competitiveness,
regulatory support, cost savings, management support, and manufacturing
growth. The objective of the research and the research questions were
defined to assess the independent variables on the adoption of the
technology Internet of Things. It was identified that all five
independent variables positively impacted the adoption of the Internet
of Things in the manufacturing industries in Australia. This will lead
to unplanned downtime reduction and clearer data transparency to take
the faster decision.
