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.

Discovering OPC

No other industrial communications standard has achieved such widespread acceptance across so many different verticals, industries, and equipment manufacturers as OPC Classic. It is used to interconnect a large variety of industrial and business systems. SCADA, Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and Distributed Control Systems (DCSs) use OPC to exchange data with each other and with Historian databases, MES, and ERP systems in the corporate world. The reason for the success of OPC Classic is very simple—it is the only truly universal interface that can be used to communicate with different industrial devices and applications, regardless of the manufacturer, software, or protocols used in the control system. This ability has become increasingly important, as the need to exchange information between the different devices...
