Learning Objectives
This course begins with IIoT fundamentals, then reviews the ways in which IIoT technology augments or replaces existing technologies, and concludes with practical application examples and exercises.
- Overview of the Industrial Internet of Things
- Define the general concept of industrial internet of things and how it is somewhat different from the basic IoT
- Describe and explain some of the enabling technologies that support IoT and IIoT applications
- Recall that many of these enabling technologies may be used in industrial applications that are not making use of the Internet
- Recognize the basic differences between IoT and IIoT applications
- Describe some examples of actual IoT and IIoT applications
- IIoT Supporting Technologies
- Name the types of applications that are suitable to machine learning
- Describe the ways in which data needs to be processed and prepared for use in machine learning and advanced analytical computations
- Recognize advanced data presentation technologies and how they may be employed
- Evaluating a Prospective IIoT Project
- Explain the technical challenges of an IIoT project
- Recognize the phases of an IIoT project
- Describe the financial evaluation/budgeting process
- Determine the major technical challenges in an IIoT project
- Recognize the various decision points in the IIoT project
- Example IIoT Industrial Applications
- Recall the objectives/goals of a set of actual IIoT projects
- Determine the financial and labor costs of implementing a set of actual IIoT projects
- Explain the underlying technologies that enabled these actual IIoT projects
- Identify the technical risks and business ‘drivers’ involved in each of these actual IIoT projects
- Class Exercise: IIoT Project Proposals
- Apply the knowledge gained in the first part of the course about IIoT to a project
- Evaluate various potential technical approaches
- Assess the potential benefits of an IIoT project
- Estimate the cost-benefit return of an IIoT project
