IIoT is the Industrial Internet of Things: sensors and analytics devoted to monitoring, analyzing and managing industrial processes. It’s not limited to factories and transportation — think property and asset management, business process automation and more. It promises to be transformative, and the process of transformation has already begun: initially, we’ll see sharp improvements in the efficiency and reliability of structures and processes already in place, but within a decade we can expect to see industry operating primarily as an interlocking web of IIoT implementations.
