The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) focuses on smart devices, sensors and equipment that are connected to centralized computer systems. This connectivity enables them to collect, exchange and analyze data for a variety of applications including productivity and efficiency gains. In contrast to the consumer Internet of Things that includes devices like heart monitoring fitness bands and smart home appliances, IIoT connects machines and industrial work equipment with a higher degree of sensitivity. This allows organizations to quickly identify and respond to changes in production processes, worker safety, energy bills and more.
The primary benefits of IIoT in manufacturing are increased productivity and improved agility. By using sensors, software and other technology to monitor and optimize existing processes and workflows, companies can reduce costs by eliminating inefficient manual methods of performing tasks. This enables organizations to increase production rates and get products out to the market faster.
