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.

Implementing the I-IoT data flow

In this section, we will discuss the I-IoT data flow. We will look at it first from the perspective of its architecture and network, and then move on to considering the strengths and weaknesses of each available data source option. So far in this book, we have not yet seen a situation in which industrial equipment is directly connected to the cloud. This is actually technically possible—there are several pieces of industrial equipment that have this ability, using internet protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, and AMQP. Examples of this kind of equipment include complex packaging systems, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), robotized working cells, or the devices and equipment involved in a fully-automated warehouse. In this section, however, we are interested in industrial plants in which the factory floor is built and managed by thousands of sensors...
