The Industrial Internet of Things: leveraging the power of cloud computing

摘要

In order to seamlessly integrate industrial data into the IIoT, a new communications platform is needed. For IIoT to be successful, several challenges need to be overcome. In order to alleviate some of these challenges, IIoT strategies will focus on pushing data into a centralised cloud platform. Leveraging the power of cloud computing and its multitudinous resources will make the required storage and processing power available to handle the zettabytes of data that will be collected, analysed and archived. Furthermore, the overall uptime of these platforms continues to trend upwards as they become more resilient to the increasing demand and expectations of our connected world.
