The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is regarded as a pioneering technology for process monitoring and data analysis in companies. The main problems lie in networking, a lack of standards and a multitude of protocols. Althen Sensors & Controls and M&L AG have published a free white paper on this topic, which shows how to set up and successfully commission an IIoT solution, from selecting the platform with wireless acceleration sensors to monitoring and commissioning, and provides practical assistance.
Whitepaper IIoT
Setting up and commissioning an IIoT solution: from selecting the platform with wireless acceleration sensors to monitoring and commissioning.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is one of the key technologies for process monitoring and data analysis in business processes. The biggest challenges lie in networking the two worlds. A lack of standards and a cornucopia of protocols, gateways, wireless standards and interfaces still stand in the way of plug & play use. Users can be found in a wide variety of industries, with specific requirements for a mostly individual solution.
What they all have in common is the need to record the physical world via sensors and link it with the digital world in order to make the measurement data usable for the further generation of added value. In addition to improving added value, competitiveness and the increased cost pressure in many industries also play an important role here. The data obtained from control and process monitoring can not only lead to fewer rejects, but can also be used to improve maintenance and repair planning, for example.
