Why Data is Important in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

Why Data is Important in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)Source | 51CTO Introduction

As connected devices emerge in the industrial sector and applications, the term “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT) has been established. This term describes an environment where smart devices (in this case, hardware performing industrial automation tasks, such as sensors, human-machine interfaces, remote data acquisition and transmission modules, etc.) are connected to a network to exchange valuable data for decision-making purposes.

Why Data is Important in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

In IIoT installations, countless types of data can be exchanged—from environmental data (temperature, humidity, etc.) to operational data (speed, flow, etc.) to network data (packets, Simple Network Management Protocol, etc.).Most of this data may be useful to the organization collecting it. Useful data should meet the following criteria:

  • Valuable: It measures something worth understanding/improving.
  • Accessible: It is available for decision-makers or processes to use.
  • Transferable: It can be seamlessly exchanged between different systems.
  • Contextual: It can be understood by people or decision-making processes.
  • Secure: It is only available to authorized systems.

To make data useful, it must also provide insights that can be transformed into valuable information. For example:As businesses become more data-centric, they need to implement appropriate infrastructure to leverage the vast amounts of useful data from IIoT systems.

How Should Data be Collected?

Due to the value of this data, businesses often refer to it as “gold.”Consider how to minethis “gold”—before it becomes a valuable asset, it undergoes a unique process:

  • Mining

  • Building Infrastructure

  • Disassembling

  • Promoting

  • Organizing

At each step of this complex process, tools (such as mining tools) are used to determine the value of the assets (land) involved in the process.Like a gold mine, the IIoT data mining process is complex but follows similar principles. To make IIoT data valuable to a business, the right tools must be in place to collect and process data to extract useful insights from the affected assets.The tools to achieve this in an industrial environment are industrial edge solutions.Industrial edge computing is a subset of industrial edge solutions and is becoming a valuable tool for implementing the aforementioned IIoT data mining process.
