Excellent video Realpars! The community really wants to hear more about this topic! We posted our what is IIoT video almost 2 years ago and clearly there is still a lot to learn!
I have a few questions I wanted to ask. 1. What are the potential cyber threats to IIOT? 2. Where does data analytics fit in the pyramid that was shown in 7:03? 3. Can we initiate the IIOT as a standalone monitoring system? Is it profitable for the client? 4. How about manufacturing equipment that do not have PLC integration. How do we collect data from those? 5. What is the average ROI for a typical IIOT deployment on used cases? Thanks in advance.
Hi Muheet, Thanks for your comment and great questions! I will happily go ahead and pass this on to our course developers, hopefully they can answer all your questions in depth in one of our future video courses.
I'm so excited by this concept, and motivated to work within a role of IIoT in the industry. I've got a particular interest in precision agriculture and greenhouse environmental anticipation and response.
This is interesting! The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming industries by connecting machinery, sensors, and systems to enable smarter operations. Through real-time data collection and analysis, IIoT enhances productivity, improves safety, and allows for predictive maintenance, which can reduce downtime and operational costs. It’s incredible to see how IIoT is helping industries make data-driven decisions and streamline processes. For those exploring industrial tracking solutions, GAO RFID offers tools that can integrate well within an IIoT framework.
Hi Hiren, Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Happy learning!
@@realpars you know really you help me to remember what I studied in university since 1999 (instrumentation in industry). I will happy if you give me lessons of gadge, translator and other instruments. Thank you real pars.
Great summary and particularly excellent illustrations. You list data integration as a primary obstacle but that is also where the primary benefits are.
Hi Sheryl, Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Happy learning!
Thank you for the video. As an engineer on a company that specialize in agricultural automation systems, and looking forward for the future of the sector, I am very much interested on the subject. I have some notions on ML (online courses... a bit of tinkering...) and can appreciate the potential (for example, optimizing irrigation extrapolating on the actual data we have on evapotranspiration). Any courses?
Not yet! But rest assured we will in the future and AI and Machine Learning increase in use in the industrial automation space. Thank you for your suggestion, and it will be passed on to our developer team. On a related note, IIoT is much more than AI/ML and represents the infrastructure required for an AI/ML computing environment. Your irrigation example is just one of many practical uses of ML that are on the horizon. It certainly is a great time to be an automation engineer!
Thanks for your comment! We indeed have a course on IOT in our course library. Feel free to check that out over here learn.realpars.com/enrollments?q=IIOT&status=all Happy learning!
Thank you for the video Realpars. I would like to ask, what skill needed to face the IIoT? Does knowledge in programming language will be useful? If it does, what is the programming language that will be used in IIoT? What other skills needed to complement programming skill to face Industry 4.0 era? Thank you for the answers..
Hi there, Thank you for your question, and our apologies for the delay in our response - your message must have slipped through the cracks. I want to emphasize the importance of understanding programming languages and computer science in this context. It's essential. Now, which programming languages are necessary? We covered this in the video at the 3:16-minute mark, outlining the types of languages and knowledge you should acquire. Additionally, hands-on practice with the equipment is crucial-practice, practice, and more practice. Many highly compensated engineers have extensive experience not only in programming design but also in the field, specifically in the installation and commissioning of these products. To kickstart your journey, you should apply your educational knowledge and dedicate at least five years to practical experience. At RealPars, where we are dedicated to being a learning platform, our Pro Membership offers not only straightforward, easy-to-follow lessons but also content crafted by a team of seasoned professionals with substantial hands-on experience. Feel free to check that out over here www.realpars.com Happy learning!
Thanks for this excellent video, can I know what topics specifically should I want to study deeply to start a research project from IIoT as a mechatronics engineer ?
Thanks for this excellent introduction to IIoT, I would like to know if you have any video on the differents steps to manage the implementation of IIoT when we lack experience and expertise ?
Hi Osée, Thanks for your comment! We currently do not have a full video course on that, but it's a great topic suggestion! I will happily pass this on to our course developers for possible future video courses. Thanks for hsaring and happy learning!
Excellent video and quite informative. I have two questions 1.should the deployment be on cloud or On premise will be better 2. Will managed services approach better suited for IIoT Also, if you can provide some real time implementation examples...
Hello Abhishek For your first question, there a many factors as to which need to be answered. I found thus website to be helpful. behrtech.com/blog/on-premises-vs-cloud-iot-deployment-which-is-best/ The second question may be addressed by a few questions regarding company technical capabilities and resources also outlined in the above website listing example. IIoT is new to many companies and there are just a few qualified Integration Companies involved. Sorry we don't have "Real-time" examples available better to search the Web for companies who have deployed. Thank you for your questions.
Hi Peter, We're glad you found RealPars videos useful; you can share our video as long as it remains unmodified, tagged and credited back to us. Hope this helps! If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know - I’m more than happy to help!
Not yet, but we are working on it! Siemens offers their Scalance Cloud Connector device, which allows this to be done quickly. Other companies, such as Phoenix Contact, Rockwell, and Opto22 also offer devices to facility cloud connections and computing.
Very Nice presentation. Thank you. This is very timely for what my client has created with for the DoD over the several years. As you probably know, the US Department of Defense (DoD) gave to the world INDUSTRY 4.0 by inventing the TRANSISTOR in the 1940's and the INTERNET within a couple of decades later. Then, they realized INDUSTRY 4.0's shortcomings and delivered the BluEdge (code name) technology because they needed a software architecture with autonomous & intelligent "bottom-up" computing at the "Edge of the Cloud". This enabled to address and resolve INDUSTRY's 4.0 conundrum. That is, "top-down" controlled networks & protocols within an exploding number of smart devices generating data with no ability to support "Bottom-Up" solutions. This is a significant conundrum that is bound to haunt INDUSTRY 4.0 as its use is spread by the undergoing developments in the industry at the present time. However, this can be avoided if BluEdge's generation of intelligent swarming swarming networks will be used. BluEdge's swarming networks, when used by conventional "top-down" controlled networks, will be able to supply "bottom-up" solutions autonomously. In essence, such swarming networks will augment the conventional networks in their mission with limited and vital data related to unpredictable last moment events. This will be similar to what swarms of nature do.
What is the difference between IIoT and SCADA? I think this is one of the concerns of investing in IIoT as it looks like that SCADA can do what IIoT can. It is like the additional performance is not worth the investment.
Hello Jason, at time 6:46 in the video, I briefly provide an answer to this very good and often asked question. IIOT addresses all aspects of the Automation Pyramid, starting at the plant floor sensors through SCADA to ERP data areas. It suggests all of these layers have a common protocol communicating to a common data source and then expands into new objectives using machine learning, data science, and real-time analytics. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question! Yes, you should be able to use IIoT devices, as they are designed to send and receive signals to and from a PLC. The main advantage of IIoT is their ability to provide enhanced processing control and real-time information. Happy learning!
I also teach Industrial Automation. Your videos guide me a lot. I am impressed by the animation in your videos. Generally i refer your videos to my students 🙂. Keep it up good work.👍👍
Thank you for your kind comment! We certainly do, we have a couple of course series on IIOT, including a couple of free ones, feel free to check those out over here learn.realpars.com/collections?q=IIOT Happy learnign!
Is this all about taking data from the machines by using the technologies in IIoT and enhancing the perfomance of the machines by examining into the data right ? In simple words, can we called it as a data quality in digital production ?
Hello Bollineni, yes, I believe you have provided an excellent summary and analogy. IIoT collects as much data as possible to represent a digital twin to allow AI to perform analysis and feed out results to IIoT layers to increase the quality and quantity of production. Thank you for your good question.
Hamed, in my opinion, the main difference when considering IoT in Home Automation, that is at some level compared with IIoT, is the lack of a real standard (once we have zigbee, zwave, wifi, bluetooth, enocean, etc...) and the decision maker is most of the time a non expert homeowner, that does not have all the concerns/knowledge about security issues.
I actually found your video informative but have a few doubts such as. If I take SAP as an example for ERP, does all info of the company get stored here from other departments from the machine level to engineering drawings that are prepared by Rnd? 2. The only function of a cyber-physical system is to enable smooth and safe data interactions between different devices and the control unit such as PLC, am I correct or is there any more to it? 3. Needed more clarity on edge computing especially when compared to cloud computing, what exactly differentiates the two? 4. Will all the data that is stored in the cloud be available in ERP which in my case is SAP?
Thank you for your interesting question. SAP, which stands for Systems, Applications, and Products, is a versatile software suite tailored to meet the specific needs of different businesses. Each company can customize SAP to address its unique requirements, meaning what works for one company might not suit another. SAP includes various modules that can be programmed to perform a wide range of functions. For instance, it can handle payroll, manage storage, and even back up PLC programming. I recommend consulting your IT department to understand which SAP modules your company is utilizing. In my experience with companies like General Motors and Siemens, SAP has been instrumental in managing various operations, including purchasing and parts ordering. For more detailed information about SAP, you can visit the following link: l1nk.dev/wIgle Regarding your last question about the difference between edge and cloud computing, the main distinction lies in responsiveness. Edge computing is ideal for real-time data processing, while cloud computing excels in handling large volumes of data that are not time-sensitive. Both have unique and combined applications in various scenarios. For a deeper understanding, you can refer to this article: t.ly/ryf14 Happy learning!
@@realpars In the last case , like u mentiomed real-time data meaning online data. For example , data that is readily available to the user using the system unlike cloud wherein the data gets stored and can be accessed after a longer period ?
There is a blog post available at realpars.com/iiot/. There are additional IIOT videos at learn.realpars.com nad additional courses are being developed.
IIoT is not a piece of hardware or a product with a model number. It is an approach to collecting and disseminating data throughout the organization. If you want to investigate IIoT and how a simple system can be constructed, you can purchase the PLCNext Starter Kit from marketplace.realpars.com and use free NodeRed software to create applications that can obtain data from the PLCNext system and store data in the cloud. You will only need to provide your own cloud storage site (Google Cloud, etc.).
Dear sir, What are the limitations & advantages of GPRS Gateway over RTU Unit & which one is better in Oil & Gas sector? please explain or you can share any link of the same.
Thank you for your comment! Sure, we have the following courses focus around Industrial IoT, learn.realpars.com/collections/iot Feel free to check those out!
Hi there, Great to hear that, thanks for your comment! We mostly use Ladder language. Hope this helps! If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know - I’m more than happy to help!
Hi, can provide a real arguments that can convince any industry to invest in IIoT ? and what will be the real added value to do such a move other than just being more STYLISH :)?
Thanks for your comment, Hamid! I will be happy to pass this on to our course developers, hopefully they can create an entire video course on this. Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Prehaps. FIS refers to an approach for generating and sharing data and information (the "what")at the factory floor level. IIoT refers to the structure by which such data and information travels (the "how) between the points of generation (providers) and the users (consumers) of the data and information.
Edge computing is concerned with bringing data storage and analysis closer to the unit operations o reduce latency time. Edge computing is a structural network paradigm and has grown to encompass several definitions. The critical consideration is that when cloud computing is involved, care must be taken to ensure that the network design minimizes data store and fetch times so that calculations, analysis, and other tasks are not adversely affected.
IIoT is a collection of Technolgies that work together to efficiently move data from where it is produced to where it is needed. A thorough understanding of plant-level sensors and devices, OT/automation networks, network devices, communication protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT, etc.), edge computing, and cloud structures would be a good place to start. Realpars is a good place to start for training for the automation related topics. Other platforms, such as Coursera and others can help with the networking and cloud topics.
Thanks for your question, Simo! That would actually make for a great video courses. I will go ahead and pass it on as a topic suggestion for our course developers. Hopefully, we are able to create a video course covering this in the near future.
The IIoT may make businesses more responsive, but could also open up critical national infrastructure to the risk of cyber attack. What are the options of security for industrial organisation deploying IoT systems as they may not be having full hardware and software control.
depents of the protocol, but they still working on it, that is why not all the companys take that risk, the main strength of IIOT is realtime update MQTT is well Know for it if you add more security than TLS OR SSL and more user autentifications code is not gonna be lightweigt, but AVEVA of Schneider, ABB ac500, Yokowaga, Siemens and Ewon they have IIOT as a service so, i still belive that as the market grow more effords will be made in order to protect fron cyber attack so there is always good to give the chance to IIOT and see whats IIOT in 2021 is gonna bring us, in the worst case you could use in no critical process of your plant and helps you to replace MOXA equitment.
Realpars is currently developing videos focusing on IIOT. A couple are available already at learn.realpars.com. There is a blog post available at realpars.com/iiot/. These courses are excellent to become familiar with the basics of IIOT. This still a relatively new field. Be careful; IIOT is a concept that means a lot of different things to different people. A good understanding of IIOT requires a solid foundation in networks, cybersecurity, communication protocols, and simulations. Robotics, "big data", cloud computing, and additive manufacturing are also pertinent topics for IIOT.
@@realpars coming from a control & instrumentation background it almost seems better to stay focused on that 🤔 tho it wont be long until this is used in the oil, gas & energy sector... surely
Thank you for giving suxh detailed explaination , i am curious as i am getting iiot as a stream option in india , And i was confused whether it will good to choose this occupation
Hi Narek, Thanks for your comment! That's a great question, and would actually make for a perfect topic suggestion for a future video course. I will happily pass this on to our course developers! Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Hi Antonio, Thanks for your comment! This makes for a great topic suggestion for possible future video courses, I will happily forward this to our course developers! Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
Thank you for your inquiry. As mentioned in our video, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) represents a cutting-edge fourth-generation automation system that focuses on linking machines and devices within industries such as manufacturing. According to various sources online, "OT" refers to the utilization of hardware and software to manage industrial equipment. Hence, while IIoT falls within the scope of the OT definition, it is distinct from OT, which may encompass IIoT within its framework. We hope this information contributes to your learning journey with RealPars!
Thank you for providing such insightful information! I appreciate the clarification regarding the distinction between IIoT and OT. It's fascinating to understand how IIoT is a subset within the broader OT framework. This adds depth to my comprehension. I look forward to further exploring these concepts in our continued learning with RealPars!@@realpars
IIoT is a design strategy built around ethernet (and internet) connected devices. So to answer your question, a complete IIoT installation would include sensors, controllers, and computers that can be connected via TCP/IP interfaces. These connections require network switches and other devices designed to create a secure network infrastructure. Software requirements range from that required to program the logic in the controllers, communication interfaces (like OPC UA, MQTT, etc.), and data acquisition, visualization, and analysis software.
Hello, Edge computing is about processing real-time data near the source, which is considered the "edge" of the network. Cloud uses various development platforms, storage, and servers through internet connections. And often where AI functions are deployed for overall business optimization occurs.
Hello RightNow. IIoT using SCADA data derived from the cloud, I get what you are asking., but It's much more. It's a new generation or evolution of the way things are interconnected and how data is collected, analyzed, and interchanged for automation in a common data namespace where PLC/HMI, SCADA, MES, ERP, and Cloud exchange data and where cloud AI functions generate new programming for the plant floor to help optimize product efficiency - digital transformation. It is referred to as Industry 4.0 in Europe or Fourth Industrial Revolution. See, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Industrial_Revolution#Third_Industrial_Revolution more about where we were and where we are today with IIoT.
@@wgastreich That sounds like a lot of marketing buzzword soup to me. This reminds me of "Web 2.0" - it wasn't actually anything new, it was just a new paradigm for using existing tools in ways that weren't common to use them yet.
So you diminished the function of MES to warehouse management and ERP being an accounting system? That's taking a lot od credibility from the content of the whole video as ghere might be other,ldt's call them, inaccuracies

Can you tell me more about the difference between IoT and IIoT from where safety
Hamed, in my opinion, the main difference when considering IoT in Home Automation, that is at some level compared with IIoT, is the lack of a real standard (once we have zigbee, zwave, wifi, bluetooth, enocean, etc...) and the decision maker is most of the time a non expert homeowner, that does not have all the concerns/knowledge about security issues.
@@crlehfeld2 Thanks a lot
Are the connections depicted in your diagrams as 0101010101 wireless?
Hello Daniel. Thank you for your question. The connections showing the binary data could be wired or wireless connections. - Wally
I actually found your video informative but have a few doubts such as. If I take SAP as an example for ERP, does all info of the company get stored here from other departments from the machine level to engineering drawings that are prepared by Rnd?
2. The only function of a cyber-physical system is to enable smooth and safe data interactions between different devices and the control unit such as PLC, am I correct or is there any more to it?
3. Needed more clarity on edge computing especially when compared to cloud computing, what exactly differentiates the two?
4. Will all the data that is stored in the cloud be available in ERP which in my case is SAP?
Thank you for your interesting question. SAP, which stands for Systems, Applications, and Products, is a versatile software suite tailored to meet the specific needs of different businesses. Each company can customize SAP to address its unique requirements, meaning what works for one company might not suit another.
SAP includes various modules that can be programmed to perform a wide range of functions. For instance, it can handle payroll, manage storage, and even back up PLC programming. I recommend consulting your IT department to understand which SAP modules your company is utilizing.
In my experience with companies like General Motors and Siemens, SAP has been instrumental in managing various operations, including purchasing and parts ordering.
For more detailed information about SAP, you can visit the following link: l1nk.dev/wIgle
Regarding your last question about the difference between edge and cloud computing, the main distinction lies in responsiveness. Edge computing is ideal for real-time data processing, while cloud computing excels in handling large volumes of data that are not time-sensitive. Both have unique and combined applications in various scenarios.
For a deeper understanding, you can refer to this article: t.ly/ryf14
Happy learning!
@@realpars In the last case , like u mentiomed real-time data meaning online data. For example , data that is readily available to the user using the system unlike cloud wherein the data gets stored and can be accessed after a longer period ?
Thanks.
Very Nice
Thank you!
Does realpars provide iiot course?
There is a blog post available at realpars.com/iiot/. There are additional IIOT videos at learn.realpars.com nad additional courses are being developed.
Very nice video. Kindly tell me which simulator or emulator is best for research in the field of IIOT
IIoT is not a piece of hardware or a product with a model number. It is an approach to collecting and disseminating data throughout the organization. If you want to investigate IIoT and how a simple system can be constructed, you can purchase the PLCNext Starter Kit from marketplace.realpars.com and use free NodeRed software to create applications that can obtain data from the PLCNext system and store data in the cloud. You will only need to provide your own cloud storage site (Google Cloud, etc.).

Thanks for your comment, Hamid! I will be happy to pass this on to our course developers, hopefully they can create an entire video course on this.
Thanks for sharing and happy learning!
is FIS ( factory information system) is a IIOT example ?
Prehaps. FIS refers to an approach for generating and sharing data and information (the "what")at the factory floor level. IIoT refers to the structure by which such data and information travels (the "how) between the points of generation (providers) and the users (consumers) of the data and information.

Which networking technology prefered (Now and in the Future) for IIoT, Ethernet or TSN?
Hello Bilal: See my reply to SatyaNarayana Venkataabove.
Hi, what is the role of Edge computing mentioned in the video?
Edge computing is concerned with bringing data storage and analysis closer to the unit operations o reduce latency time. Edge computing is a structural network paradigm and has grown to encompass several definitions. The critical consideration is that when cloud computing is involved, care must be taken to ensure that the network design minimizes data store and fetch times so that calculations, analysis, and other tasks are not adversely affected.
Hello! What is the scope of studying IIOT for a mechanical engineer? What types of roles or jobs they can get?
IIoT is a collection of Technolgies that work together to efficiently move data from where it is produced to where it is needed. A thorough understanding of plant-level sensors and devices, OT/automation networks, network devices, communication protocols (OPC-UA, MQTT, etc.), edge computing, and cloud structures would be a good place to start. Realpars is a good place to start for training for the automation related topics. Other platforms, such as Coursera and others can help with the networking and cloud topics.
@@realpars Thank you, Have a nice day!
Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for your question, Simo! That would actually make for a great video courses. I will go ahead and pass it on as a topic suggestion for our course developers. Hopefully, we are able to create a video course covering this in the near future.
@@realpars Many many thanks, a video on this topic would be highly appreciated.
The IIoT may make businesses more responsive, but could also open up critical national infrastructure to the risk of cyber attack.
What are the options of security for industrial organisation deploying IoT systems as they may not be having full hardware and software control.
depents of the protocol, but they still working on it, that is why not all the companys take that risk, the main strength of IIOT is realtime update MQTT is well Know for it if you add more security than TLS OR SSL and more user autentifications code is not gonna be lightweigt, but AVEVA of Schneider, ABB ac500, Yokowaga, Siemens and Ewon they have IIOT as a service so, i still belive that as the market grow more effords will be made in order to protect fron cyber attack so there is always good to give the chance to IIOT and see whats IIOT in 2021 is gonna bring us, in the worst case you could use in no critical process of your plant and helps you to replace MOXA equitment.
@@DavidMiguelHerreraTenorio Yeah my company is dealing with Ewon systems and interfacing it with our internal systems for remote diagnostics
Is there currently any available training for IIOT or are we still pioneering with it?
Realpars is currently developing videos focusing on IIOT. A couple are available already at learn.realpars.com. There is a blog post available at realpars.com/iiot/. These courses are excellent to become familiar with the basics of IIOT.
This still a relatively new field. Be careful; IIOT is a concept that means a lot of different things to different people. A good understanding of IIOT requires a solid foundation in networks, cybersecurity, communication protocols, and simulations. Robotics, "big data", cloud computing, and additive manufacturing are also pertinent topics for IIOT.
@@realpars coming from a control & instrumentation background it almost seems better to stay focused on that 🤔 tho it wont be long until this is used in the oil, gas & energy sector... surely
Good keep going

What is the difference between IIoT and OT (Operational Technology)? Are they the same thing?
Thank you for your inquiry. As mentioned in our video, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) represents a cutting-edge fourth-generation automation system that focuses on linking machines and devices within industries such as manufacturing. According to various sources online, "OT" refers to the utilization of hardware and software to manage industrial equipment. Hence, while IIoT falls within the scope of the OT definition, it is distinct from OT, which may encompass IIoT within its framework.
We hope this information contributes to your learning journey with RealPars!
Thank you for providing such insightful information! I appreciate the clarification regarding the distinction between IIoT and OT. It's fascinating to understand how IIoT is a subset within the broader OT framework. This adds depth to my comprehension. I look forward to further exploring these concepts in our continued learning with RealPars!@@realpars
what equipment and software would be used to perform an IIoT installation?
IIoT is a design strategy built around ethernet (and internet) connected devices. So to answer your question, a complete IIoT installation would include sensors, controllers, and computers that can be connected via TCP/IP interfaces. These connections require network switches and other devices designed to create a secure network infrastructure. Software requirements range from that required to program the logic in the controllers, communication interfaces (like OPC UA, MQTT, etc.), and data acquisition, visualization, and analysis software.

Hello,
Edge computing is about processing real-time data near the source, which is considered the "edge" of the network. Cloud uses various development platforms, storage, and servers through internet connections. And often where AI functions are deployed for overall business optimization occurs.
@@wgastreich Nice info dude, can u tell me the practical example of edge computing? i mean like in real life
So IIoT is just SCADA with Wi-Fi?
Hello RightNow. IIoT using SCADA data derived from the cloud, I get what you are asking., but It's much more. It's a new generation or evolution of the way things are interconnected and how data is collected, analyzed, and interchanged for automation in a common data namespace where PLC/HMI, SCADA, MES, ERP, and Cloud exchange data and where cloud AI functions generate new programming for the plant floor to help optimize product efficiency - digital transformation. It is referred to as Industry 4.0 in Europe or Fourth Industrial Revolution. See, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Industrial_Revolution#Third_Industrial_Revolution more about where we were and where we are today with IIoT.
@@wgastreich That sounds like a lot of marketing buzzword soup to me. This reminds me of "Web 2.0" - it wasn't actually anything new, it was just a new paradigm for using existing tools in ways that weren't common to use them yet.
Not bad!
But tou guys should have a quick peak at Intellic Integration.
Just sayin ;)
Thanks for the suggestion, Anders!
Yes, I have. A good contact for an IIoT Integration Company.
So you diminished the function of MES to warehouse management and ERP being an accounting system? That's taking a lot od credibility from the content of the whole video as ghere might be other,ldt's call them, inaccuracies
