DECEMBER 20198INDUSTRIAL IOT: WHAT IT IS AND THE TRENDS DRIVING IT IN 2019By Mayank Bedi, Head IT, V.S.T. Tillers Tractors Ltdhe industrial internet or In-dustry 4.0, IIoT incorporates machine learning and big data technologies to har-ness the sensor data, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and automation technologies in a manufacturing unit. Gathering process data on pressures, tem-peratures, flow rates, RPM, vibra-tion and other technical data will allow smart IIoT software to make plants more efficient, safer, and more reliableThe objective behind IIoT that Smart Machines/Devices may per-forms better than human brains and consistently communicates the real-time data to embedded systems. This Data can bring lot of value additions in manufactur-ing plant like preventive failures, Machine Utilization, Efficiency, alert to avoid outages. These en-tire data can also be utilized thru any Business Intelligence tools to track the pattern and trend which will help to diagnose or predict the incident.The great advantage of IIoT is predictive maintenance which en-hanced the productivity of product in Field which can enable digital performance monitoring and can feed back into actual usage param-eters driven product development. Similarly in Factory also connect the various machines on your shop floor to PLC / embedded systems which can drive better OEE, quality monitoring, energy analytics, pre-dictive maintenance, logistics, con-nected supply chain management and overall plant efficiency.IIoT Vs IoT Many things are similar in IIoT & IoT like Cloud , Data Center , Sensors , Connectivity, Analytics etc but the major difference between them different use case. For instance IoT applications connect devices across multiple verticals, including agriculture, healthcare, enterprise, consumer and utilities, as well as government and cities. IoT devices include smart appliances, fitness bands, shoes, apparels etc.IIoT applications, on the other hand, connect machines and devic-es in such industries as oil and gas, utilities and manufacturing.
