Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a concept that allows integrating various industrial devices, such as sensors, gauges or equipment, into a single network using Internet network. ICP2U offers wide range of solutions for implementation of Industrial Internet of Things that suit perfectly for power engineering branch, transport, industrial automation, and many other applications.
In the context of modern, ever changing and often unstable market, the introduced IIoT technology helps companies both to make correct decisions that improve production profitability, and to mitigate risk, thus, increasing profit and contributing to business expansion.
Why do we need Industrial Internet of Things?
Industrial Internet of Things changes the traditional picture of interaction between men and machines. Combining data acquisition over Internet and analytics, it gives a new look at improvement of efficiency and optimization of business processes.
Examples of successful implementation of Industrial Internet of Things
Maintenance of jet engines
General Electric Company applies Internet of Things for preventive maintenance of jet engines and prediction of potential failures before they become apparent. Moreover, the monitored flight data allow minimizing fuel consumption and increasing efficiency.
Service of 1.2 million of elevators
ThyssenKrupp Elevator services over 1.2 million of elevators worldwide. The opportunity for preventive maintenance, which is implemented by means of IoT technology from Microsoft, ensures maximum mean time between failures. The company has already reported on decrease in number of client service requests.
Monitoring of dry vacuum pumps
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is a leading semiconductor manufacturer that has built a system for real-time monitoring of dry vacuum pumps that has improved work efficiency and reduced overall production costs by 30 mln. dollar per year.
Eventually, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provides companies with more comprehensive picture of current state and efficiency of equipment, contributes greatly to reduction of unscheduled downtime of production capacities and saves millions of dollars every year.
Protocols and hardware platforms for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
There are numerous protocols for management of various devices applied in the industrial environment. They include Modbus, Profibus, EtherCAT, and others. However, in the IIoT environment, MQTT protocol got widespread most. To get to know how MQTT protocol works, what advantages it has and why it is applied in IIoT, read the article: What is MQTT and why do we need it in IIoT? Description of MQTT protocol.
Equipment for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) that IPC2U Company can offer you:
| Web programmable IoT controller | |
|---|---|
| A web programmable controller with an ability for integration with IoT cloud systems by means of an MQTT protocol. The controller uses an MQTT client to interact with local and cloud MQTT brokers. Its functions include: data publishing, data acquisition from external MQTT brokers and management of devices connected to the controller when receiving MQTT commands. Hence, it can play the role of a gateway between the devices connected to it and cloud systems. | |

MXE-101i by ADLink |
 |
NIO-50 by NEXCOM The gateway allows connecting devices that work under Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII protocols and transfer the obtained data over Wi-Fi or LAN to a cloud service over an MQTT protocol for its further analysis. |
 |
NIO-100 series by NEXCOM NIO-100 acquires data from terminal devices over RS-232/485/DIO interfaces and transmits it to a cloud using 3G, Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The gateway software includes the upd ated Node Red system that allows setting up the device behaviour by moving the existing function units, configuring them and connecting them to each other. If necessary, a user can create his/her own function unit. |
 |
UC-8100-LX-CG series by MOXA The embedded computer with support of MOXA ThingsPro software that facilitates data transmission from field devices to a cloud. |
| IIoT platforms | |
| Computer platforms for Internet of Things provide data exchange between terminal devices and a cloud storage. IoT platforms support various types of communication and can be easily applied at production facilities, in industrial spheres, surveillance systems, automation applications. | |
