The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) extends the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) to industrial applications by connecting machines, equipment, and devices.
IIoT employs sensors, software, and other technologies to collect and analyze data from the physical world, optimizing production processes, predicting maintenance needs, and enhancing efficiency. IIoT plays a key role in realizing smart factories and Industry 4.0 by providing real-time insights into operations and promoting data-driven decisions.
