Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
What is Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)? Industrial IoT, or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) , is a vital element of Industry 4.0 . IIoT harnesses the power of smart machines and real-time analysis to make better use of the data that industrial machines have been churning out for years. The principal driver of IIoT is smart machines, for two reasons. The first is that smart machines capture and analyze data in real-time, which humans cannot. The second is that smart machines communicate their findings in a manner that is simple and fast, enabling faster and more accurate business decisions. IIoT is used across a range of industries from manufacturing, logistics, oil and gas, transportation, mining, aviation, energy, and more. Its focus is to optimize operations--particularly the automation of processes and maintenance. IIoT capabilities enhance asset performance and better manage maintenance. In the long run, it moves...
