Technologies Used in IIoT

#iot

Hello, I'm Ganesh. I'm working on FreeDevTools online, currently building a single platform for all development tools, cheat codes, and TL; DRs — a free, open-source hub where developers can quickly find and use tools without the hassle of searching the internet.

In Previous Post Characteristics and Architecture of IIoT we learned Characteristics and Architecture of IIoT.

In this blog post we will be learning Technologies of the IIoT.

Key technologies

The Key Technology inluinvolved in the IIoT include sensing and control, network communications, information processing, and security management.

Sensing and control technologies:

This mainly include sensor, RFID, multimedia, and industrial control, are the core of the IIoT deployment and implementation.

Ex: In cement industry there should be proper record on raw materials used and there will be some excess gas leak. This will be monitored by sensors (Probably this will be costing more than $40k it depends on scale).
Network communications technologies:

This mainly include Ethernet and wireless communications technologies, which are the basis for the IIoT interconnection and interworking.

This will be playing major role in data collection.

It is similar to normal device conected to internet and which also shares data. But here IIoT majorly focus on reliability.
Information processing technologies:
This include data cleaning, data analysis, data modeling, and data storage, which support IIoT applications.

This part majorly implemented in cloud.

If company wants thier data stored in local. They can also be stored in local server.
Security management technologies:
This mainly include encryption, authentication, and intrusion prevention, which are key to IIoT deployment.
Wi-Fi 6/Wi-Fi 7 technologies:

Wi-Fi technology is not restricted by wired connections.

It facilitates fast access and mobile sharing of terminals and devices, and greatly reduces cabling costs. Wi-Fi has become the first choice for industrial terminals to access networks.

For example, no packet loss is permitted during roaming of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in production workshops; automation, real-time data collection, and cloud computing are required in the production process.

To meet the network requirements of industrial production for high bandwidth, high reliability, and low latency, Huawei has launched AirEngine series Wi-Fi products to realize full wireless IIoT connections. Wi-Fi CPE converts wired signals into wireless signals, allowing outdated production devices to access new wireless networks.
