INDUSTRIAL INTERNET of THINGS
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) era is the key to Industry 4.0 and has ushered in a new paradigm for the industrial sector.
And it does so by transforming the way companies monitor and manage their processes.
At the heart of this revolution are #IIoT sensors, devices designed not only to collect data but to integrate into interconnected ecosystems that enable real-time optimization of operations.
However, they are more than just measurement tools: they are actually mini-intelligences distributed throughout factories.
They are capable of collecting, processing, and transmitting useful information for making immediate decisions and for automation.
IIoT sensors are designed for a connected and dynamic industrial world, just like the one introduced with Industry 4.0.
Therefore, they can operate as nodes in a mesh network, even in remote environments.
But it's also important to note that their interoperability makes them compatible with legacy infrastructures. This is crucial for the industrial sector, especially in traditional industrial settings where machine lifecycles can exceed 30 years. Naturally, with the necessary technological adjustments.
From an engineering perspective, IIoT sensors offer a significant advancement over previous-generation sensors: the ability to process data in real time on-site. This allows for the application of advanced control logic directly on-site, reducing the need for manual human intervention or remote intervention from the control center.
This highly sought-after feature makes them unparalleled for enabling distributed control systems (DCS).
