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.

The standard I-IoT flow

In Chapter 2, Understanding the Industrial Process and Devices, we looked at how industrial data is generated, gathered, and transferred to the cloud by familiarizing ourselves with computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). We also looked at industrial equipment, such as DCS, PLCs, and SCADA, and network protocols, such as Fieldbus, ControlBus, and OPC. This gave us a picture of the whole path of industrial signals, from when they are generated by sensors in a factory to when they are processed in the cloud. In Chapter 3, Industrial Data Flow and Devices, and Chapter 4, Implementing the Industrial IoT Data Flow, we talked in detail about data acquisition, data sources, related protocols, and the edge devices used to push data into the cloud. This has shown us how data acquisition is the foundation of the I-IoT and how we need to be compliant with several...
