Chapter 8: Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Smart Manufacturing
Industrial IoT (IIoT) transforms manufacturing and industrial processes by enabling real-time data collection and intelligent automation, thereby enhancing efficiency and agility. Leveraging layered architectures and advanced protocols like OPC UA and DDS, industries can integrate various components to create digital factories. Predictive maintenance and remote monitoring further improve operational uptime and productivity, resulting in a more streamlined production process.
