Industrial IoT: From Sensors to Automation
Industrial IoT: From Sensors to Automation Industrial IoT links sensors, machines, and software to improve how a plant runs. It is not just new gadgets; it is a practical approach to monitor performance, control processes, and boost efficiency. Data from equipment becomes actionable insight that operators and managers can use every day. A typical IIoT stack has four layers. Field devices include sensors and actuators that watch temperature, vibration, or pressure. Edge computing devices run small programs close to the machines, filtering data and detecting issues in real time. Transport and storage move data through secure networks to on‑premises or cloud platforms. Applications then present dashboards, run analytics, or trigger automation that keeps lines running smoothly. ...
