EdgeLink in a week: connecting one line before you connect a plant

Plant-wide IoT projects stall because they try to boil the ocean.

The pattern that works: pick one line, pick one real question — usually 'where does our time actually go?' — connect just that line with a gateway, and put the answer on a dashboard the supervisor sees every shift.

Proving value on one line builds the credibility (and the internal know-how) to scale. It also surfaces the data-quality issues early, while they're cheap to fix. Big-bang rollouts hide those until the end.
