The application of connected sensors, devices and industrial systems to collect, exchange and analyze operational data across industrial assets.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the network of connected industrial equipment, sensors, controllers and software platforms that continuously collect, communicate and analyze operational data. IIoT technologies enable real-time visibility into equipment condition, production performance and asset health, supporting predictive maintenance, process optimization and digital transformation initiatives.
IIoT enables data-driven decision making by connecting operational technology with enterprise information systems and advanced analytics platforms.
IIoT solutions commonly integrate sensors, edge devices, historians, cloud platforms and analytics applications to support monitoring, optimization and predictive maintenance.
IIoT focuses on industrial equipment and operational technology, whereas the broader Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses consumer, commercial and industrial connected devices.
