It’s been a little over a decade since the Internet of Things (IoT) began moving from concept to operating reality for manufacturers of all sizes. But implementing industrial IoT (IIoT) technologies as part of a manufacturer’s digital transformation is not a one-off project. It’s an ongoing process that requires regular re-assessment of steps already taken as well as those planned for the near future. To help Automation World readers in their IIoT plans and reviews, this eHandbook considers several important IIoT topics—from industrial networking hardware and communication methods to safety and workforce issues. Insights in this eHandbook include:
- How IIoT gateways aid IT/OT connections
- Reducing safety risks with IIoT sensor technologies
- Filling IIoT job roles in the manufacturing industries
- Understanding how OPC UA, MQTT and REST APIs power the IIoT
- Advice on implementing IIoT without compromising security
