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.

Understanding the Industrial Process and Devices

In this chapter, the reader will understand how industrial data is generated, gathered, and transferred to the cloud. We will look at continuous discrete processes and how they work, becoming familiar with the model of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) from its origin in the factories of the 1980s to the current day. The reader will learn about industrial equipment, networks, and protocols, and come to understand terms such as distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Historian, manufacturing execution system (MES), Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP), and Fieldbus. We will also look at how the industrial world interacts with the cloud, and look at the devices and protocols that allow this to happen. Related to this, we will learn terms including...
