Industrial IoT
What is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)?
The term Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most widely used terms in business and industry in recent years. However, it is difficult to differentiate the IoT verticals under the broader concept of the Internet of Things, which have different requirements, applications, target audiences, and strategies.
Few people know that the largest 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 enormous financial losses or a high risk to life. Therefore, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) encompasses 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, back-end computing systems, and cloud storage to gain better visibility and insight into a company's operations and assets.
Therefore, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provides a method for transforming operational business processes by using feedback from the results obtained by receiving large datasets through advanced analytics.

Who needs to use the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)?
The complexity of industrial systems has surpassed the human operator's ability to recognize and address efficiencies, hindering improvements through traditional means and resulting in machines operating well below their capabilities. These factors alone are operational incentives for implementing new solutions.
The potential of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is vast , with opportunities spanning 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 cause industry executives to wake up and consider the possibilities of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). After all, industry requires only a minimal change in productivity to generate enormous revenue; for example, even a 1% increase in productivity can produce huge revenue benefits, such as fuel savings in aviation.
The challenge until now has been to materialize a solution to adapt to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and obtain these potential profits in an operation where IIoT is not the core business. Consultants typically focus on business models and operational efficiency, which is undoubtedly attractive, 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 reveal the technical abstraction of the complex lower layer that underpins the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Above Above-Net offers an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution called Bridgemeter IIoT, comprised of hardware and software, offered as a service capable of meeting any data collection requirements from equipment, machines, and controllers, and providing real-time decision support with very low deployment costs.
