Review of commercial and open technologies available for Industrial Internet of Things
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes the vision of a ubiquitous computing environment, where connected devices exchange information with an unpreceded amount of counterparts. With many prospective applications in the field of production, where real-time process information is a crucial factor for successful operations, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has seen a significant rise in demand. Despite the great momentum of these new technologies, there is still no common understanding of a complete IIoT landscape. To address the challenge of the differences in scope and function of IIoT components, this chapter offers a guideline for setting IIoT technologies into context with a framework that allows defining the benefit and the area of application. To also take the advantages of the implementation of an IIoT system into account, this chapter considers the impact distinctive features and technologies forming an IIoT system have.
