An Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform defines a software solution, which monitors and manages all physical and virtual elements or endpoints from the shopfloor and the IT. By selecting an appropriate platform suited to a plant (e.g., locally installed or cloud-based IIoT platform), installation development and maintenance can be reduced significantly. This is because IIoT platforms make machine data available and usable, and deliver ready-made technology stacks and libraries, which accelerate the realization of industrial IoT use cases.
The success stories of our customers show how the strategic decision for a Factory Data Hub brings future-proof scalability.
