As a subset of the Industrial Internet, theIIoTrefers to the application of the IoT in industries. It focuses closely on the interconnection and communication between things as well as the connection of terminals and devices at the access layer of industrial field networks. ...
Industrial IoT devices can help you prevent catastrophic failure and improve worker safety. With real-time monitoring of devices and automated alerts, you can properly turn off equipment before disaster strikes. Incidents involving being struck by objects ...
The IIoT consists of internet-connected machinery and the advanced analytics platforms that process the data they produce. IIoT devices range from tiny environmental sensors to complex industrial robots. While the word “industrial” may call to mind warehouses, shipyards, and factory floors, IIoT...
The biggest risks associated with IIoT use pertain to security. It's relatively common for IIoT devices to continue using default passwords, even after they've been put into production. Similarly, many IIoT devices transmit data as clear text. These conditions could make it relatively easy for...
As shown above, in this phase of the architecture the IoT devices send data through telematics to a Kinesis topic that is then passing them on to a single Flink Job for parsing and storage. During this stage, the architecture included an external parsing service that was additionally accessing...
, a subsidiary of Hitachi, has an IIoT platform called Lumada, which is intended to turn customer data into insights that can be used to support innovation and develop business strategies. The platform’sanalytics for Disney Parkshave helped to improve efficiency at the company’s popular theme...
Optimizing M2M Connectivity To enable automation in industrial environments, engineers are designing M2M communications solutions that can connect IoT-enabled machines and integrate production processes. The Growing Role of Cobots in Factory Automation ...
Industrial IoT is a network of connected devices, machines, and systems that collect and share data in industrial environments. Device manufacturers equip devices with sensors, software, and other technologies. These IIoT devices are able to communicate with each other and with centralized systems for...
Example of IIoT At Work (Credit: American Welding Society) The automobile manufacturing industry provides one of the best examples where IIoT is being utilized. Auto manufacturing heavily rely on smart robotics, sensors, high-resolution cameras, and other connected IIoT devices to manufacture vehicle...
The industrial control system (ICS) devices that we dealt with are radically different from some of the consumer IoT devices that have come out, particularly in terms of their hardware resources, the communication protocols, and their actual protectability. With old PLCs, you can...
