Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things

By: Giacomo Veneri, Antonio Capasso

Overview of this book

We live in an era where advanced automation is used to achieve accurate results. To set up an automation environment, you need to first configure a network that can be accessed anywhere and by any device. This book is a practical guide that helps you discover the technologies and use cases for Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). Hands-On Industrial Internet of Things takes you through the implementation of industrial processes and specialized control devices and protocols. You’ll study the process of identifying and connecting to different industrial data sources gathered from different sensors. Furthermore, you’ll be able to connect these sensors to cloud network, such as AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google IoT, and OEM IoT platforms, and extract data from the cloud to your devices. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll gain hands-on experience in using open source Node-Red, Kafka, Cassandra, and Python. You will also learn how to develop streaming and batch-based Machine Learning algorithms. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the features of Industry 4.0 and be able to build stronger, faster, and more reliable IoT infrastructure in your Industry.

IoT Core

IoT Core is a basic service to manage devices and to receive data from an edge device. To enable IoT Core, we need to open the web console and click on IoT Core as shown in the following screenshot:

In the next sections, we are going to activate the policy to connect an external device through MQTT/MQTTS, create certificates, and register a new device (which is called a thing by AWS). AWS IoT uses X.509 certificates to enforce MQTT security.

After registration, we can implement our device on a local PC.

Setting the policies

AWS IoT applies security to protect our system. To allow a device to send data, we need to attach the following statements to the device—iot:Connect, iot:Subscribe...
