The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Solutions
In the realm of Digital Transformation, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) serves as a pivotal point of innovation through AVEVA Process Engineering Suite. This technology brings forth a revolutionary approach, allowing teams to gain access to previously obscure data streams, facilitating a comprehensive business overview. While the general Internet of Things encompasses devices like wearables and smart TVs that were historically unconnected, the IIoT focuses on industrial instruments now equipped with network capacities to transmit data to prominent systems like HMI and SCADA or even the cloud. Such 'smart' devices include sensors, valves, switches, and other field components that establish network connections.
Unlocking Business Value
Over the past decade, the hindrances to embracing IIoT technology have significantly diminished. Traditionally, challenges in implementing IIoT solutions involved costly network connectivity components, complexities in consolidating data from diverse streams, and the absence of a centralized database or dashboard. However, recent technological advancements and a software-oriented approach by providers have removed these barriers in creating platform-agnostic solutions for data interpretation and transmission.
Realizing the Potential of IIoT
The fundamental value of an IIoT structure lies in the depth of context it provides for data analysis. By converging multiple data streams into a singular reliable source, it becomes feasible to scrutinize and interpret data for actionable insights. This paves the way for optimized operational efficiency, where aggregating previously inaccessible data from networks and cloud-based analysis can lead to immediate ROI. This approach also allows for enhanced asset monitoring, predictive maintenance leveraging AI and machine learning, and exceptionally flexible architectures.
Intelligent Decision-Making
Through the integration of solutions such as AI and Machine Learning in cloud data processing, teams can make informed decisions based on contextual insights. Data analysis can enhance predictive maintenance strategies, unveil patterns in machine performance, and influence crucial purchasing verdicts. The IIoT enables the seamless dissemination of data to any device at the required moment, effectively breaking down information silos and empowering cross-functional collaboration.
