Systems Focus Tops Industrial IoT Trends

As the industrial automation systems in today’s factories move quickly toward embracing IoT technology, industrial IoT (IIoT) solution providers are rolling out a variety of products and platforms designed to meet emerging needs. The duties of IIoT systems range from the monitoring of machinery conditions to collecting edge sensor information and routing it through IIoT gateways for cloud-based processing.

Over the past six months, vendors of box-level systems, rugged IoT gateways and IoT-ready data acquisition gear have rolled out a new crop of solutions designed to provide advanced building blocks to meet diverse IIoT requirements. Meanwhile, IoT software frameworks are smoothing the way to create scalable IIoT setups that leverage cloud-based resources.
