This book discusses how the industrial
internet will be augmented through increased network agility, integrated
artificial intelligence (AI) and the capacity to deploy, automate,
orchestrate, and secure diverse user cases at hyperscale.
Since
the internet of things (IoT) dominates all sectors of technology, from
home to industry, automation through IoT devices is changing the
processes of our daily lives. For example, more and more businesses are
adopting and accepting industrial automation on a large scale, with the
market for industrial robots expected to reach $73.5 billion in 2023.
The primary reason for adopting IoT industrial automation in businesses
is the benefits it provides, including enhanced efficiency, high
accuracy, cost-effectiveness, quick process completion, low power
consumption, fewer errors, and ease of control.
The
15 chapters in the book showcase industrial automation through the IoT
by including case studies in the areas of the IIoT, robotic and
intelligent systems, and web-based applications which will be of
interest to working professionals and those in education and research
involved in a broad cross-section of technical disciplines.
The volume will help industry leaders by
- Advancing hands-on experience working with industrial architecture
- Demonstrating the potential of cloud-based Industrial IoT platforms, analytics, and protocols
- Putting forward business models revitalizing the workforce with Industry 4.0.
