This Smart Industry e-book explores IIoT, or networked equipment that is linked through sensors to the multitude of computers that help run modern manufacturing plants.
In the Industry 4.0 era, IoT connects to industrial software for quality control, safety, automation, and monitoring, and AI is more and more a component of these systems.
The importance of cybersecurity rears its head everywhere—including the IoT space. And, as this eHandbook also explores, a huge part of IT modernization at plants is IIoT, but only if OT teams, responsible for smooth operation of production lines themselves, work closely with their counterparts in IT.
