Releasing the Value Within the Industrial Internet of Things DOWNLOAD WHITEPAPER
The Internet of Things vs. the Industrial Internet of Things The Internet of Things is a network of physical objects that contains embedded technology to sense, communicate and interact with the external environment – devices such as smart televisions, smart electricity meters and smart refrigerators.The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the part of the Internet of Things that focuses on devices and objects used in business settings.
Example of How IIoT Is Used Many industries are already using the Industrial Internet of Things extensively. The oil and gas industries, for example, are using IIoT to control drills and monitor the earth’s crust. The utilities industry uses it to remotely control building temperatures. Maritime fleets have devices that sense and collect data to help reduce unplanned downtime.
The Impact of IIoT The market associated with IIoT promises tremendous growth. Industry experts are predicting massive savings and increased productivity and revenues – to the tune of up to $15T GBD growth within 20 years. The results of using IIoT include increased production and quality, better service levels, increased network capacity, improved troubleshooting and safety and streamlined maintenance.
The Role of Big Data in the IIoT IIoT is made up of billions of devices collecting and transmitting data to support some of the fastest-growing areas in global business. Forrester estimates the current market for Big Data to be valued at about $12 billion. When it comes to analyzing this Big Data, there are several big technical hurdles that need to be addressed: • • • •
Moving a wide variety of data from a wide variety of sources; High volumes of data and high velocity of throughput; Moving big data through low-bandwidth connections; Limited access to real-time information updates.
The impact of not addressing the hurdles is huge: bottlenecks, increased costs and poor performance.
