From the concept of the Internet to the Internet of Things (IoT) and now to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the IoT is no longer just a concept, but a real application case. Moreover, the IoT is constantly being subdivided, and the Industrial Internet of Things is a small part of the IoT.
Distinguishing between the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) conceptually.
The Internet of Things (IoT): Through intelligent sensing, identification technologies, and ubiquitous computing, the IoT is widely applied in network convergence, and is therefore considered the third wave of development in the world's information industry after computers and the internet. The IoT is an extension of internet applications; rather than being a network itself, it is more accurately described as a collection of services and applications.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): Sensors, controllers, and specialized devices now reside at the edge of networks, assigned unique IP or network addresses, collecting data, and performing a wide range of notifications and extending enterprise capabilities. This is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which will transform industries such as manufacturing, transportation, construction, mining, and energy.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is essentially machine-to-machine (M2M) support extended to the cloud.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) primarily emphasizes applications in production and services. IIoT often involves higher-value equipment and assets, such as energy, transportation, and industrial control, while also having higher requirements for operational safety; whereas the general Internet of Things (IoT) focuses more on the consumer sector, such as home applications.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is built on industrial infrastructure and is used to upgrade rather than replace existing industrial production equipment and facilities.
In general, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT), focusing on applications related to productivity.
Secondly, what are the benefits of promoting IoT?
Driving factors:
Inexpensive new sensors
Faster processors
Integrable open platform
Suppliers and partners encourage adoption
Data analysis and machine learning
Cheaper storage
The core business system has more powerful functions.
Practical significance:
The development of the Internet of Things will give rise to a large number of emerging industries.
The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) helps improve production efficiency and enterprise competitiveness.
The development of the Internet of Things will help promote the coordinated and harmonious development of people, society, and nature.
The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) helps improve the efficiency of government public management and services.
What is the current state of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) industry?
Equipment manufacturers: sensor manufacturers, RFID, chip manufacturers, module manufacturers, intelligent data acquisition companies, etc.
System integrator: Dedicated to solving integration issues related to interfaces, protocols, system platforms, application software, and other aspects between various devices and subsystems, as well as subsystems, operating environments, construction coordination, organizational management, and staffing.
Network operators: Provide data transmission and are the main body of the IoT network layer, serving as the intermediary connecting sensor data and terminal applications.
Platform providers: They support IoT applications by providing terminal monitoring and fault location services for equipment manufacturers, billing and customer service for system integrators, reliable and comprehensive services for end users, and unified, convenient, and cost-effective development tools for application developers.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is still in its early stages of development, but due to its promising application prospects and enormous profit potential, many large multinational corporations, governments, and international organizations have already invested heavily in it. Therefore, given this vast potential, Timon Technology is investing significant resources in IIoT research and development, striving to achieve the highest value with the best resources!
