Creating and Deploying Industrial IoT (IIoT) Solutions in Enterprise Environment

Industrial IoT (IIoT) building blocks: industrial gateways and edge computers, edge frameworks and IoT integration platforms

Whether you are looking for an Industrial IoT (IIoT) solution for your business or you are about to implement it, you want to make sure that it is functional to your needs, complete, future-proof and customized.

This white paper focuses on the key IoT building blocks that enterprises need to build and maintain a functional IIoT infrastructure to enable end-to-end solutions:  

• Software development and deployment of IIoT gateways and Edge devices

• Communication technology and infrastructure

• Enabling and managing a unified infrastructure

• Integration between OT and IT

Right now innovative applications and cloud computing technologies are combining to create significant new capabilities in which input - from machines, people, sensors, video streams, maps and newsfeeds - is digitized and placed onto networks.

These inputs are integrated into systems that connect devices, people, processes in order to provide collective awareness, increase efficiency, and thereby enable better decision-making in the enterprise.

Integrating the OT and IT domains

As a result, Industrial IoT solutions are more complex than those of traditional M2M since they involve IT (Information Technology), the enterprise domain, and OT (Operational Technology, the M2M domain), in a much more flexible and integrated way.

Eurotech facilitates and simplifies the creation, deployment & management of applications for this converged IT/OT environment.

This process involves leveraging virtualization technology in different ways, including employing a Java-based software framework for IoT gateways and Edge devices. Abstracting embedded hardware and operating system features enable effective and flexible programming of IIoT edge devices and gateways.
