“Assessing the Impact of Industrial IoT on Engineering and Manufacturing: Benefits and Challenges”
Keywords:
Industrial Internet of Things, IIoT, industrial automation, smart factories, operational efficiency, data analytics, manufacturingAbstract
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) represents a significant advancemenst in the manufacturing and engineering sectors, integrating advanced sensors, communication technologies, and data analytics to create intelligent, interconnected systems tailored for industrial environments. Unlike general IoT, IIoT is designed for robustness, reliability, and real-time operational efficiency, enabling seamless machine communication and real-time data collection and analysis. This supports predictive maintenance, optimized production processes, and overall improved efficiency. This paper provides an overview of IIoT, detailing its definition, scope, and historical evolution from traditional industrial automation to modern smart factories. It highlights the benefits of IIoT, such as enhanced operational efficiency, cost savings, and improved product quality, while also addressing challenges like cybersecurity risks, interoperability issues, and high initial investment costs. By examining these aspects through real-world examples and citations, the paper elucidates the profound impact of IIoT on industrial processes, offering valuable insights for industry practitioners and policymakers.
