Industrial IoT (IIoT)

Industrial IoT refers to smart Internet of Things infrastructure on the manufacturing shop floor. Historically, sensors in the manufacturing industry were collecting data, but they were not connected to the IT network within the enterprise. With smart sensors and IT-OT convergence, plant assets are modernized and include:
– IoT sensors or systems that talk to each other (M2M) and report metrics to the central information system in real time
– Machine learning (ML) combined with a big data and analytics engine that monitors asset performance patterns and predicts operational trends such as degradation in performance of a part or the assembly line
