Industrial Internet Application Development

By: Alena Traukina, Jayant Thomas, Prashant Tyagi, Veera Kishore Reddipalli

Overview of this book

The Industrial Internet refers to the integration of complex physical machines with networked sensors and software. The growth in the number of sensors used in industrial machinery has led to an exponential increase in data being captured for predictive analytics. Industrial Internet Application Development is a practical guide for developers who want to create applications that leverage the full capabilities of IIoT. You will get started by learning how to develop your first IIoT application and understanding its deployment and security. Once you’re familiar with what IIoT is, you will move on to exploring Edge Development along with the analytics aspect of the IIoT stack. In later chapters, you’ll get to grips with the deployment of IIoT applications on the Predix platform. As you cover these concepts, you’ll be able to identify key elements of the development framework and understand their importance while considering architecture and design for IIoT applications. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to deploy IIoT applications on the Predix platform and incorporate best practices for developing fault-tolerant and reliable IIoT systems.

Art of building reliable and resilient IIoT applications

We use the term reliability for a system that should continue to work correctly (performing the correct function at the desired level of performance) even in the face of adversity (hardware or software faults and even human error). A reliable system has some of the following characteristics:

  • The application performs the function that the user expected
  • The ability to self-configure to withstand changing environmental conditions
  • Its performance is good enough for the required use case, under the expected load and data volume
  • The system should be usable and maintainable in the long term
  • Has application robustness in the face of uncertain information
  • Has resistance to security problems such as preventing unauthorized access

In the following sections, we will discuss how to build and test for reliability on the cloud,...
