If you are like most people, when you hear the term the Internet of Things (IoT), you tend to think of smart thermostats, internet-connected refrigerators, or personal data assistants, such as Alexa. While these consumer-oriented IoT devices tend to get a lot of attention, there is a subset of IoT called the industrial internet of things (IIoT), which focuses on the use of sensors that are connected to machinery and vehicles within the transport, energy, and industrial sectors. Companies use the information collected from sensors that are physically embedded inside industrial equipment to monitor, automate, and predict all kinds of industrial processes and outcomes.
