A <\/span>industrial internet<\/b> (Industrial Internet of Things - IIoT) is still a term that is not widely used in Brazil. It is part of Industry 4.0, a movement focused on digitizing industrial activities through data automation, artificial intelligence and interconnectivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

With<\/span> IIoT<\/span><\/a>By using the Internet, devices can be interconnected to improve productivity and reduce costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the benefits highlighted, a survey carried out by <\/span>Brazilian Industrial Internet Association (ABII)<\/span><\/a> showed that only 29% of the 84 companies interviewed were aware of the topic. In addition, 65% of them did not have any programs of this type.<\/span><\/p>\n

The continuous growth of technology in industry shows that digitalization cannot be left behind. So, in order not to be left behind and to stand out from the competition, we're going to show you how the industrial internet of things can bring advantages to your applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Definition of industrial internet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The industrial internet is part of the internet of things (IoT). In short, this type of technology is responsible for automating processes and making machinery increasingly autonomous.<\/span><\/p>\n

With IIoT, all machines, equipment and software are interconnected via the internet. This makes the manufacturing process safer, more efficient and more productive.<\/span><\/p>\n

From production to logistics, it's possible to monitor real-time data on how the machines are working and how the work is progressing. This is because these devices have dedicated sensors at various stages of the processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the machinery is intelligent, it can identify problems and send information to connected users, such as management and the maintenance sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in order to operate efficiently, it is necessary to invest in information technologies such as big data, cloud computing and industrial automation.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the difference between IoT and IIoT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The industrial internet (IIoT) is a subcategory of the internet of things (IoT). Both are part of the <\/span>industry 4.0<\/span><\/a>So it has the same objective. However, there is a slight difference in application.<\/span><\/p>\n

IIoT is used in industrial environments, with their respective communication protocols, while IoT can be used by various sectors and users, such as public bodies and medical care.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the focus of the industrial internet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The main aim of IIoT is to improve company productivity through communication between machines, reducing operating costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the intelligence applied, they are responsible for making their own decisions, based on the history of operations. As a result, they are able to predict failures and do without human intervention, a detail that guarantees employee safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the functions that IIoT applies to machinery are:<\/span><\/p>\n
