Communication for the Industrial Internet of Things

The term Internet of Things (IoT) first surfaced a few years ago. At its core, it describes a scenario where intelligent devices communicate with each other to enhance functionality and improve operational efficiency without any human interaction. IoT devices have a physical interface to the real world that enables them to capture, analyze and act on all kinds of data. These devices can learn about their environment and adapt to it; communicate and cooperate with one another; and perform very specific functions within a specific context. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applies to application areas, like factory automation, process automation, energy infrastructure or transportation. While the idea and vision behind it are the same as in other areas, deterministic behavior, cyber security and redundancy are some of the aspects that are especially important for the IIoT.

Big data is the dominant economic currency in a changing world moving at an increasingly accelerated pace. The speed and frequency with which data is collected, processed, and actioned is crucial to delivering the core promise of the Internet of Things (IoT) – either saving money through optimized operations or enabling new business models to generate new revenue streams.

Empowering DSOs to secure the Smart Grid

whitePaper | February 6, 2020

As the world’s growing need for energy meets the power of the Internet of Things, the traditional energy marketplace is rapidly transforming. Millions of meters and energy assets are connected and digitized each year, providing enormous benefits to the entire ecosystem: real time tracking of energy production and consumption data, optimized load balancing systems, streamlined operations and billing systems to name a few. As connectivity expands and the landscape is digitalizing, new distributed energy resources (DERs) and stakeholders are able to integrate into and expand the grid. DERs offer non-carbon resources that improve the energy sector’s overall carbon footprint, a key benefit for everyone.
