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.

Starting with IoT Core

IoT Core is the Google Cloud IoT gateway for sending data to the cloud. To work with IoT Core, click on IoT Core from the menu on the left. The first time we do this, we will need to enable the API, as shown in the following screenshot:

Enabling the IoT Core API

Building the device registry

When the IoT Core has been enabled, GCP will ask to create a device registry, as shown in the following screenshot:

Device registry

Then, we have to provide a name for the device registry, which in our case will be iiot-book-registry. We also have to define two topics, one for signals, which will be signals, and one for statuses, which will be statuses.

GCP uses two different topics to send data and statuses about...
