What is an Industrial IoT Platform?

An Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform defines a software solution, which monitors and manages all physical and virtual elements or endpoints from the shop floor 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.
