Industrial IoT: Smarter Factories and Supply Chains
Industrial IoT: Smarter Factories and Supply Chains Industrial IoT (IIoT) connects machines, sensors, and systems across factories and supply chains. It turns streams of data into usable insights, helping teams monitor equipment health, track materials, and spot bottlenecks early. With reliable data, organizations move from firefighting to proactive planning and continuous improvement. How IIoT works Sensors and devices gather temperature, vibration, pressure, and status data from machines. Connectivity links the data, using wired or wireless networks to reach a reliable backbone. Edge computing processes data near the source to reduce latency and lighten cloud workloads. Cloud platforms and analytics turn raw data into dashboards, alerts, and models that teams across sites can access. The result is real-time visibility and smarter decisions at every step of the line, from the factory floor to the supplier port. ...
