IIoT has been variously called the concept, the set of solutions and just a new technology. But this does not change anything since the Industrial Internet is the interconnection of physical devices that not only collect information but also exchange it. As the Internet was previously created to combine computers around the world, IIoT is now working the same way, connecting devices.
This system (IIoT) is a quick response technology but it is not only the ability to transfer any data at the time of its emergence but also correct the situation. A quick response is especially important if it is some valuable resource, such as energy or water. For example, it can even be a weather or water sensor, or a gauge in agro production, which transmits data on the state of the soil.
Initially, key hardware is equipped with sensors, gauges, controllers, or any other monitoring device. Further, these devices monitor the status and collect information, which will subsequently help the company deal with the provided data and make a decision.
In production, there may also be another situation where Artificial Intelligence will participate. For example, some equipment fitted with a sensor, it collects information and transmits it via the Internet, then a decision is made according to information received. Implementation of AI will make production more successful, cut costs and reduce the presence of the human factor, which often affects the results of an enterprise. If some kind of failure occurs, AI takes this into account, corrects an error, analyzes and remembers the action made. That is, AI is prone to learning and further improving its actions.
AI is a universal assistant in many areas of life. For example, with its help, you can save on energy consumption and any resources. To begin with, you can track the use of certain sources and provide statistics. Later, AI will optimize and save resources in real-time, thereby reducing costs.

IoT is not only one device that interacts with each other. It is also a connection method that complete without human intervention, that is, a machine with a machine. They generate big data and, subsequently, exchange it. The collected information is later analyzed and used to improve the equipment status, as well as decision making.
IoT in its actions is not much different from IIoT. The technology also collects and analyzes the received data, which will be further used to improve functioning.
It is important to understand one important point and the main difference between these technologies. IoT is about everyday life and improving comfort for people. The scope is only domestic. The most striking example of the application is the technology of “Smart Home”. Any part of your home can be controlled by this new technology:
To use all these amenities, you need to introduce automation into the work of meters. To introduce You need to combine all existing meters into one network, where cost accounting is kept, Thus, the owner will always be aware of how much resources are consumed and will be able to save a lot of money.
Most industry challenges are resolved through the implementation of IIoT. This technology is not suitable for everyday use, as it works exclusively with the industrial world. The basis for the functioning of IIoT is the interaction of sensors. There is the monitoring of all mechanisms and devices. All this plays a major role in various fields, ranging from municipal lighting systems to oil production. In the first case, it is traffic control – turning on the light when the sensors see movement and turning off in the absence, respectively.
Improving and simplifying life is the main goal of IoT technology emergence. This one only applies to the domestic sphere. The goal is to increase economy and safety, but also to reduce costs.
The purpose of IIoT, in turn, is to increase the profitability and various benefits for the production, which are somewhat related to the objectives of IoT.
IoT technology will cost much less and will not cause much trouble under repair. For example, if the floor has not warmed up to your arrival or the vacuum cleaner has not cleaned the room, you can do it manually upon arrival. The same applies to the coffee maker, for example, if your coffee is not ready in the morning, then you can make it yourself. If your house is fully equipped with IIoT technology, then important systems such as fire alarms, door locks, and others will be kept under control all the time because of low-tech duplication tools.
The price for a failure in the IIoT system will be much higher because any violation of a network fragment or incorrect data output can cause a pause in production or its shutdown. If you use the same low-tech tools at a time of a failure, then productivity will significantly decrease.
IoT technology is being implemented relatively quickly unlike its neighbor. No large-scale actions are required, and all the necessary components can be bought when replacing household appliances.
The low rate of implementation of IIoT is associated with its scale. To implement this technology is required a complete and fairly large conversion. Unlike IoT technology, implementation is phased. All decisions on the implementation of the update should be made taking into account the possible incomplete reconstruction.
For any IoT device, the speed of information processing is quite high, almost in real-time. That is, the response time can be up to a dozen seconds.
IIoT as a more complex technology should have more time for processing information, but in reality that’s not exactly true. The data processing speed takes place in hard real-time mode, that is, it takes no more than a dozen milliseconds or even faster. Delays and pauses in this technology are simply unacceptable.
The amount of data in IoT is the same as most of its devices. Devices generate only a few megabytes per day.
Big technologies need big storage for data because IIoT has hundreds of times more amount of data than IoT per day.
There is no threat that the introduction of IoT may lead to the dismissal of at least one employee. It will not cause any problems to either the housekeeper, the gardener or anyone else.
That’s quite another matter with IIoT, because in implementing this technology will occur a huge reduction of all manual steps. It will also begin the search for highly qualified personnel for more serious work, such as design, equipment installation, analysis, and so on.
Even though the technology is new, it has flaws, like any other system. More precisely, these are new challenges to society. There is a threat of unauthorized interference with housing or data theft, for example. All of this because of weak built-in protection. One company conducted an experiment where one could log into the cloud storage, get an account, and then gain control of the “smart home” without any problems.
As for IIoT, it’s a lot more serious. Information security risks are quite high because unauthorized interventions can provoke an industrial catastrophe.

Both in the large and small markets, enterprises and institutions are faced with a financial problem. No wonder this is a problem because in the world of innovation and modernization it is very important to be in trend. Increasing labor productivity, reducing costs and overall productivity directly depend on modern high-quality equipment.
While large enterprises have already implemented IIoT technology, medium-sized companies cannot afford it, but they no less need it.
Vixtera has a complex way out for such enterprises. The “in-a-box” solution simplifies the implementation of IIoT and helps the company to roll out everything it needs, namely services and ecosystems.
This solution is a lifesaver because #ViEdge Software is easy to configure and contains all the important elements necessary for the operation of the enterprise.
#ViEdge contains automated installations, as well as necessary updates; single panel; a tool that instantly identifies failures both in system and installation as well as their cause.
