What are developers’ challenges, concerns and areas of interest when it comes to IoT and edge computing. The 2022 IoT & Edge Developer Survey Report, by the Eclipse Foundation, a non-governmental organization originally created by IBM in November 2001 that today brings together millions of developers around open source software collaboration and innovation, sought to address these questions. In its eighth edition, the study had input from 910 developers, architects and decision makers from a wide range of industries and organisations globally.One of the important findings of the survey was that agriculture has been the sector receiving the most attention (23 per cent compared to 26 per cent in 2021), keeping ahead of industrial automation by just one per cent (22 per cent, down slightly compared to 2021) in terms of adoption of industrial IoT (IIoT) and edge computing technologies.
With the rise of inflation and competition in the market, many enterprises are going through a digital transformation in order to stay competitive in today's market. For such companies, the Industrial Internet of Things, or IIoT, is indispensable as it helps create intelligent factories and a higher market share. Most enterprises have already implemented connectivity solutions to save money and provide more optimized operations. But what is IIoT exactly? How does the concept help digital transformation to increase business and generate higher operational performance? Is it inevitable now? How can manufacturers utilize these things to achieve their business objectives? Find out in this comprehensive guide
The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC), a global non-profit partnership between industry, government and academia established in 2014 with a mission to build a technical foundation for the development of the Industrial IoT (IIoT), has for the first time included information on satellite connectivity in its Industrial Internet Networking Framework (IINF) guide. In addition, the entity has teamed up with the International Society of Automation (ISA) to publish a document on how to secure industrial automation and control systems that use digital twins.The IIC guide helps IIoT application developers design, deploy and operate network solutions by providing guidance on Internet Protocol (IP) technologies, lower layers and features such as management and security.
Today, many industrial assets are not connected, nor is the volume of operational data they generate used intelligently to guide decisions. On the other hand, the industrial sector is being called upon to decarbonize and aim for sustainability of operations, while still meeting the familiar targets of performance, safety, and cost reduction. Would it be possible to reduce or even eliminate this mismatch, i.e. use the untapped potential of industrial assets to make them more sustainable?What a recent ABB survey revealed is that there is a clear understanding among respondents that business performance and sustainability should go hand in hand, i.e. in the current global scenario
