The connection of devices (the Things) through the internet so they can collect and share data without human assistance.
IoT devices range from smart thermostats to vehicle systems to biochip transponders on farm animals. Even people can be outfitted with sensors connected to the internet.
IoT “things” aren’t just dumb devices that can be turned on and off remotely, they:
• are “smart” devices with their own local logic and processing • have protocols for exchanging information with each other • send and receive information and commands over a network (including the internet)
www.aaeon.com IIOT
IIoT is the use of IoT technologies for industrial purposes – from gas pumps to HVAC systems to machinery on the factory floor.
Think of sensors (pressure, temperature, vibration, flow, and many more), that are already collecting data, but now that data can be combined with data from other systems and collected, analyzed, and exchanged data in new ways.
• Operational efficiency, maintenance • Safety -> Remove humans from many environments (reducing risks) • Productivity • Monitoring and control • Reliability • Performance diagnostics • Allows machines to act autonomously www.aaeon.com Focus • Agility • Competitiveness 7 IIoT application pattern Event detection/Actuation Collection/Elaboration Data analysis

Where AAEON is active? Existing bus and devices - RETROFIT www.aaeon.com Focus • Agility • Competitiveness 8 Challenges IIoT
One of the biggest is figuring out how all the existing automated devices can be retrofitted and connected to use industrial IoT.
Existing automated processes use proprietary protocols, different architectures, and have limited networking ability.
They tend to be isolated islands of technology.
