With the new buzzword called Internet of Things, in the Information Technology fraternity the scope and face of various traditional software systems is changing fast. Internet of Things is growing big day-by-day and finding its applications in domestic as well as industrial areas and even to some very unconventional areas as well. This paper discusses the overlapping roles of PLM and ERP systems in the IoT arena. The applications of both the systems can be enhanced and put to better use with the usage of IoT along with. With some of the enhancements, especially in the integration systems implemented for them, helps increasing the productivity and efficiency of the products and also save the cost with early indications of any failure.
