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.

Other platforms

As we mentioned before, there are more than 120 platforms for IoT. Most of these are specific to IoT and are not appropriate for I-IoT. We will compare a few of these platforms.

  • Bosch IoT: Bosch IoT is an IoT platform based on OSGi. It is very easy to manage devices using this platform, and it offers a very good solution to integrate on-premise solutions.
  • Rockwell Automation and ThingWorx IoT Platform: Rockwell is one of the leaders in the industry sector of automation. It has a good collaboration with PTC for ThingWorx. ThingWorx is an IoT platform which has a complete suite of products, from acquisition to virtual reality, design, and operations.
  • Intel IoT: The Intel IoT platform offers good support for SDK, data-management, and device-management. We used this device during the exercise with the Predix developer kit. It is very easy and intuitive to configure...
