Research Area: Internet of Things
The adoption of emerging technological trends and applications of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the industrial systems is leading towards the development of Industrial IoT (IIoT). IIoT serves as a new vision of IoT in the industrial sector by automating smart objects for sensing, collecting, processing and communicating the real-time events in industrial systems. The major objective of IIoT is to achieve high operational efficiency, increased productivity, and better management of industrial assets and processes through product customization, intelligent monitoring applications for production floor shops and machine health, and predictive and preventive maintenance of industrial equipment. In this paper, we present a new and clear definition of IIoT, which can help the readers to understand the concept of IIoT. We have described the state-of-the-art research efforts in IIoT. Finally, we have highlighted the enabling technologies for IIoT and recent challenges faced by IIoT.
