Scaling manufacturing infrastructure with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) allows factories to scale systems with cloud-computing subscription levels. Factory equipment requires connectivity to enable that sort of benefit.
Facilities can lower investment costs by spreading them over the lifetime of the software. Remote monitoring and control can also help with labor-shortage issues.
Virtualization becomes a bigger part of manufacturing systems, reducing the need for physical layers of processing and therefore lowering energy costs from computers and computing.
Huffman Engineering’s Keith Mandachit explains how the Control System Integrators Association member is bringing the IIoT to its customers. The CSIA-certified system integrator, based in Lincoln, Nebraska, predicts data acquisition will continue to grow and gain speed in this article from our partner publication, Control.
