Companies are increasingly leveraging the capabilities of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to transfer process and device data to the cloud and use it to improve their operations and efficiency, as well as reduce costs.

Are your devices ready to provide connectivity for large-scale and highly distributed applications in an increasingly interconnected world?

Solar plants have critical monitoring and management needs. In many cases, traditional wired infrastructure for monitoring and management is not feasible, so equipping sites with appropriate 4G/LTE gateways provides a useful and comprehensive network backup mechanism to secure data and offer network stability.

Digitally transformed businesses acquire many capabilities and advantages that were previously not accessible. Navigating your plant in the rapidly evolving digital landscape is not an easy task.

2022 Special Report in the Industrial Ethernet Book explores the latest technologies and trends in industrial networking including Single Pair Ethernet, Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IIoT software solutions.

Industry experts provide their perspective on the state of the Industrial Internet of Things. Our 2022 progress report explores how IoT technology is being implemented into complex industrial environments as part of digital transformation strategies, and leverage a wide range of connectivity solutions.

Ever shorter response times, increasing volatility and almost unmanageable complexity are bringing production challenges into sharp focus. But the IIoT is providing a new architecture for factory automation which enables an ultra-flexible production concept for companies – for greater adaptivity and resilience.

The Otosense SMS technology solution consists of an edge device called Smart Motor Sensor (SMS), Android and iOS mobile applications to provision the device, web dashboards to visualize the data, and AI based analytics and REST API services hosted in the cloud.

IoT-connected sensors with cloud-based geolocation capabilities allow organizations to monitor assets over large geographic regions. With this technology in place, retailers can work directly with their manufacturers and logistics partners to mitigate potential delays in the supply chain while managing customer expectations.

The OPC Foundation continues to forge ahead with technology advancements. Recent highlights include the launch of the UA Cloud Library developed in conjunction with CESMII and completion of the second release candidate for the OPC UA FX (Field eXchange) specifications that is part of the FLC initiative.
