Re: IoT is not industrial automation/control
"Except they probably will, eventually if they haven't already done so, because the low cost suppliers and low cost methods drive the better quality more expensive ones out of business,"
In heavy industries (the kind that involves huge things, billions of dollars, and plenty of lives), quality usually trumps price because they have the price of failure to consider (not just monetary but legal--these are the kinds of industries that can draw the attention of legislatures when crises emerge). Sure, things slip now and then, but once things like the Toyota and Volkswagen scandals appear, they usually tend to get back in line for fear of being next.
