This blog focuses on how IoT helps manufacturers take their predictive maintenance efforts to new levels.This would ensure a hassle-free customer experience rooted in reduced downtime and maintenance costs.... Read more →

The US power grid is a machine on a truly gigantic scale. And it is also inherently distributed and decentralized: there is no single central controlling authority, rather a set of connected, interacting organizations that make energy management decisions in their own scope but coordinate with each other. The power grid is also changing: from the radial model where the power generated in large power plants is distributed to consumers to a model where customers are both producers and consumers of energy. These properties make the power system a prime target for fog computing applications.... Read more →

Most people are aware of connected cars and should consider the changes that will come as trucking is connected as well. Autonomous trucking is coming, and just as containerization revolutionized shipping, automation of trucks will greatly change the trucking industry. ... Read more →

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is driving the addition of more connected devices. Cybersecurity is critical to the success of IIOT. The demonstration illustrates how the IIC’s recently released Industrial Internet Security Framework can be applied to solve this challenging problem. Mimicking a real-world, multi-vendor, distributed environment, the demonstration integrates existing Hannover Messe demos from 24 IIC and Plattform Industrie 4.0 member companies into a single security solution. It spans multiple booths at Hannover Messe and remote sites around the world.... Read more →

by Dr. Stan Schneider, CEO, Real-Time Innovations, Inc. The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) is “ground zero” for the Industrial Internet of Things. It’s the largest of the Internet of Things (IoT) consortia with over 250 members. No other organization approaches its respect or potential to drive the next industrial revolution... Read more →

The tone of the many well-meaning discussions about the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) varies widely from one viewpoint of unbridled optimism about the seemingly endless possibilities to another filled with apocalyptic doom and gloom about the safety of the planet and everyone on it. Two extreme views perhaps, but there is no denying the fact that security is an issue that needs to be carefully addressed before any of those endless possibilities can become a reality in the industrial internet....
