IIoT, or Industrial Internet of Things, refers to the use of connected devices, sensors, and machines in industrial settings to collect and exchange data. It is a subset of the broader IoT concept that is specifically focused on industrial applications, such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, and logistics.


The key difference between traditional industrial systems and IIoT is that IIoT systems are connected and data-driven. By collecting and analyzing data from various devices and systems, IIoT enables businesses to optimize their operations, increase productivity, reduce costs, and improve safety.
