What is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)?
Traditionally, factories relied on teams of workers to conduct regular inspections of operations. If any issues arose between these inspections, they persisted until a failure occurred. In contrast, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems utilize intelligent sensors to continuously monitor specific machines for critical physical parameters, including temperature and vibration. The data collected is digitized and transmitted to the cloud, where it can be analyzed remotely using predictive analytics algorithms to assess the likelihood and timing of potential equipment failures.
