Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) is a fully connected infrastructure of industrial devices, applications and systems and various types of services. It is an extension of the issue of Industry 4.0 ideas strongly promoted by Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market leader Advantech and one of the leaders in the uninterruptible power supply market, Eaton.

The continuous increase in the number of devices connected to the industrial network, the "networking" of equipment that previously operated as a separate unit, and the introduction of various types of sensors and devices used in the factory into the network, increases the transmission of critical data and causes compatibility problems. One of the key issues of the so-called Industry 4.0 is the strong combination of industrial infrastructure with the world of information technology, in other words, the combination of the world of OT (Operational Technology) with the world of IT (Information Technology), thanks to this combination in the already traditional matter of control of industrial systems, a number of new services and technologies have appeared such as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Communication between system components was based on protocols known from IT networks and the functionality of the system was supplemented by data acquisition from additional IoT sensors. The system architecture built in this way and the unprecedented integration of its elements made it necessary to ensure security for the network created in this way. The Industrial Internet of Things has applications in industrial plants, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Its specificity allows existing processes to be improved and made more consistent.

Cyber security and management of IIoT systems

An appropriate layer of application and security systems is required for the successful operation of IIoT systems. The right software allows for remote control of edge devices (Edge Computing) where we will get secure, seamless encrypted access to remotely control IoT devices. Installation of the systems is simple and local monitoring and control requires no additional resources. The system allows a complete overview of all IoT data in a single panel in the cloud or on an edge device.
