Industrial IoT

What is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)?

The term Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most used terms in business and industry in recent years. However, it is difficult to differentiate IoT verticals under a broader concept of the Internet of Things with different requirements, applications, target audiences and strategy.

Few know that the biggest vertical of all is concentrated at the last level and is called the Industrial Internet of Things or IIoT. Industrial applications are those that demand a high level of reliability in generally hostile environments where failures represent a huge financial loss or high risk to life. Therefore, the Industrial Internet of Things or (IIoT) covers a huge number of markets with applications in energy, transportation, oil and gas, manufacturing, sanitation, agriculture, logistics, aviation and many others.

We can define the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)  as the  integration of machine sensors, middleware, software and back end calculation systems and cloud storage to obtain better visibility and insight into the company's operations and assets.

Therefore, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provides a method for transforming operational business processes using as feedback the results obtained by receiving large sets of data through advanced analytics.

Who needs to use Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)?

The complexity of industrial systems has outpaced the human operator's ability to recognize and address efficiencies, making improvements difficult to achieve through traditional means resulting in machines operating well below their capabilities. These factors alone are operational incentives to apply new solutions.

The potential of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is vast , with opportunities spread across broad areas of productivity such as logistics, aviation, transportation, healthcare, energy production and distribution, oil and gas production, and manufacturing among many others. As a result, many use cases will make industry executives wake up and consider the possibilities of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). After all, the industry only requires a minimal change in productivity to generate huge revenue, an example is that even a 1% increase in productivity can produce huge revenue benefits such as fuel savings in aviation.

The difficulty until today was to materialize the solution to adjust to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and obtain these potential profits in an operation where IIoT is not its main business. Typically consultants focus on business models and operational efficiency, which is certainly attractive by demonstrating financial gains and new business models that are easily understood. Unfortunately, these presentations often impress and invigorate executives who see the business benefits but fail to uncover the technical abstraction of the lower-layer complexity that underpins the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Above Above-Net has a solution for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) called Bridgemeter IIoT, composed of hardware and software, offered as a service capable of meeting any data collection requirement from equipment, machines and controllers, and offering support to real-time decision with very low implementation cost.
