IIoT & Industrie 4.0
Optimize Business Processes in an Evolving Manufacturing Landscape
How is IIoT changing industry?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects–sensors, actuators, machines, controllers–embedded with electronics , software , sensors , and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data 1 . The Industrial Internet of Things–or IIoT–represents the subset of IoT applications related to the broad family of manufacturing, utility automation, process control and similar enterprises.
Representing the fourth industrial revolution, Industrie 4.0 is a collective term embracing a number of automation, data exchange and manufacturing technologies. These technologies coalesce under Cyber-Physical Systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services. 3,4,5 Industrie 4.0 originated from a high-tech strategic initiative of the German government to promote the computerization of manufacturing 6 .
