Most of us have heard of IoT and have a reasonable understanding of what it means. Devices such as voice-controlled speakers, smart thermostats, wireless security cameras and the like, are all IoT devices and part of the Internet of Things.
However, most people are unlikely to know the term IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). IIoT devices include anything from a wind turbine, to a solar plant, and from a printing press to a beer bottling machine – industrial machines that traditionally would not have been connected to the internet.
