Industrial IoT: From Sensors to Smart Factories Industrial IoT connects machines, devices, and people across a factory. It starts with sensors that monitor temperature, vibration, flow, and pressure. The data flows through reliable networks to edge devices or cloud platforms, where it becomes useful information instead of a pile of numbers. With consistent data, managers can spot trends, schedule maintenance, and adapt operations in near real time. The result is less downtime, safer work, and better energy use. The technology is not just fancy equipment; it changes how teams plan, decide, and act. ...

Industrial Automation and the IoT Edge Industrial automation has moved beyond fixed sequences. The IoT edge brings data processing closer to machines and sensors, inside the plant floor or a nearby gateway. Edge computing means that many decisions happen where data is created, not only in a distant data center. This shift improves response times, reduces bandwidth use, and helps protect sensitive information. In practice, this means faster feedback loops, more reliable operation during network outages, and clearer insights from live equipment data. ...
