Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the use of connected devices, sensors, and other internet-enabled technologies in industrial settings, such as manufacturing plants, power plants, and oil and gas facilities. The IIoT allows for the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) with industrial systems and processes, enabling real-time data collection, analysis, and automation.
The goal of the IIoT is to improve efficiency, productivity, and safety by allowing for the monitoring and control of industrial processes and equipment remotely. This can be achieved using sensors, actuators, and other devices that can collect and transmit data over a network, as well as using software and analytics tools that can process and analyze the data in real-time.
The IIoT also has the potential to drive innovation and competitiveness by enabling the development of new products and services that can leverage the data and insights generated by the connected devices and systems. For example, the IIoT can enable the creation of new maintenance and repair services, as well as the development of customized and optimized production processes.
