IIOT- INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS.

IOT- INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS.

In my last blog, we understand what exactly the 4th industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is what are the different elements come under it?  So the very common concept come under Industry 4.0 is IOT & IIOT.  When we talk about IOT or IIOT, what common between themes that the divides are smart and they exchange data through the internet.

We already discuss the Internet of things on my previous blog. In this blog, we mainly focus on the Industrial internet of things (IIOT).

Industrial internet of things mainly refers to smart devices use in industry, the manufacturing firm, smart factory etc.  While the Internet of things come under consideration when we talk about consumer devices like a smart house, smart car etc. 

What is IIOT?

So the industrial internet of things is defined as an application of internet of things in manufacturing firm, industry.  IIOT has control over the quality of a product, supply chain efficiency, etc.

What exactly happens in IIOT OR IOT?

So in IIOT or IOT, there are smart devices which are connected to the common network, are communicating through internet and exchanges data.  This data is going to collect and those smart devices analyze this data and take actions in real time.

Example:

1.IIOT in the smart factory:

So in the old industry, there is an ERP system which connected to different elements of manufacturing firm like supplier, customer, manufacturing shop floor, different machines etc.

So if a customer having requirements for 10 product,  it gives information to the ERP system of organization. ERP collects the data eighter in digital form or on paper. Then the data get analyze mannualy and the corresponding raw material requirement is send to the raw material supplier.

It may take hours or in some conditin=on take day to analyze this data and take the decision.

So here IIOT comes in to picture. In IIOT the MES system directly connected to supplier and customer. So any requirement is there, data is immediately shared with MES and ERP system.  With help of communicating devices, decisions are taken in real time, so it decreases production time. Also, it gives real time scenario regarding the product so that firm modify their product on a real time basis

2. Smart home having smart Airconditioner:

In old air conditioning systems, we use remote to control settings of the ac according to our requirement, but all this tech is passed. So in past, we are the one who takes the decisions according to our comfort.
But in case of smart home devices like AC, these decisions are taken by smart devices in real time. The decision is mainly taken by computing devices, they collect the data, store the data and analyze data & take actions in real time.

Emerging startup in IOT in India:

1. Stellaps
2. Zenatix
3. Smartron
4. Carsense
5. Carnot technologies
6. Boltt sports technologies

There are many more.....

Companies implementing IOT OR IIOT:

1.Microsoft

2.Google

3.Intel

4.IBM

5.General Electric

So this is a just short review over IIOT, there are much more remaining.
