Industrial IoT Ecosystems Require Detailed Monitoring
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT ecosystems, in general, generate vast amounts of data, which are collected, aggregated, and shared to enable efficient industrial automation. The ultimate goal is to increase automation levels and thereby boost business productivity.
However, the intent behind IIoT is not to completely replace human workers. Instead, it aims to create new revenue streams and business models by streamlining industrial processes through more efficient operations.
To sustain these industrial processes, IIoT generates access to component telemetry data that supports a rich analytics environment. For this data to be collected and analyzed, businesses must establish reliable and intelligent communication paths among machines, devices, and control systems to enable timely attention to maintenance intervals and unforeseen events. These communications mechanisms can span both internal networks and external ones that traverse the Internet, making it critical to ensure that IIoT connectivity is up and running.
This is where network resource monitoring becomes essential so that all devices and network elements within the IIoT ecosystem communicate effectively without performance degradation or, worse, network outages. By monitoring potential points of failure, not only can industrial process efficiency be improved, but the overall safety level of critical operations can also be enhanced by mitigating associated risks.
Industrial environments demand process precision and stand to benefit significantly from implementing IIoT. Without it, human error could lead to substantial risks, which is why the precision achievable through IIoT is one of its greatest advantages. However, troubleshooting can become challenging without real-time network monitoring and analytics.
