Editorial focus: circular economy, digital processes and IT for reuse and longer asset life.
Integrating Physical AI into industrial environments requires moving from simple telemetry collection to resilient hybrid architectures, where data normalization and OT security are primary priorities.
A practical guide to scaling the Industrial Internet of Things: edge vs. cloud architecture, secure legacy equipment integration, and OT network protection.
How to assess data for one failure mode, compare a simple rule with an ML model and connect an alert to an inspection task.
Effective industrial IoT architecture requires load distribution: processing critical data on-site (Edge) or sending it to the cloud for deep analytics.
How to combine the flexibility of cloud-based IoT analytics with the strict availability requirements of SCADA systems without risking the shutdown of critical industrial processes.
Integrating Modbus, MQTT, and OPC UA via edge gateways allows legacy equipment to be combined with modern analytical platforms, preserving data context and security.
How to integrate legacy equipment with the cloud, ensure OT network security, and build a robust architecture for industrial data collection and processing.
Industrial IoT provides production data for analytics and predictive maintenance, but it also exposes OT systems to new risks. A practical approach involves standardizing data exchange via OPC UA, building cybersecurity based on ISA/IEC 62443, and never treating any protocol as a substitute for netw
OPC UA transforms disparate tags and registers from the OT environment into a unified semantic model for SCADA, MES, ERP, and Edge AI.
Integrating data from drones and IoT devices is transforming the management of critical infrastructure and industrial systems, enhancing efficiency and safety.
Physical AI, IoT, and edge platforms are integrating to create systems that react to the physical world in real-time within manufacturing environments.
Isolating IoT devices in critical infrastructure is a fundamental architectural solution for enhancing security without compromising operational manageability.
