IIoT
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
What is it and how will it affect manufacturing?
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
IIoT is part of a broader concept known as the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is made up of a network of computers, devices and smart objects that collect and share large amounts of data. The collected data is sent to a central cloud service where it is added to other data and then shared with the end users in a useful way.
The IoT will increase automation in homes, schools, stores and in many industries.
What are the benefits of IIoT?
The IIoT can greatly improve connectivity, efficiency, scalability, time savings and cost savings for industrial organizations.
The application of the IoT to the productive industry is called IIoT (or Industrial Internet or Industry 4.0). The IIoT will revolutionize manufacturing by enabling the acquisition and access to much larger amounts of data, at much higher speeds and much more efficiently than before. Through the PLCs and the Panel PC's of Industrial Shields, IIoT solutions can be implemented connecting devices in productive companies, autonomous installations, etc.
The IIoT can greatly improve connectivity, efficiency, scalability, time savings and cost savings for industrial organizations. Companies are already benefiting from the IIoT through cost savings by applying it to predictive maintenance, improved security and other operational efficiencies. IIoT smart device networks allow companies to identify data silos and connect their resources, data and processes from production plants to decision-making centers. Managers can use IIoT data to get a complete and accurate view of how their company is working, which will help them make better decisions.
