Abstract:
The use of Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) and related technology is propelling manufacturing into a new era in the fourth industry revolution characterized by ubiquitous connectivity. IIoT allows new and unprecedented interactions amongst hardware, software, and humans. Adopting the capability of IIoT with artificial intelligence tools, manufacturing systems become smart - with unprecedented gains in production agility, quality, and efficiency. One of the key enablers of the IIoT empowered smart manufacturing is connectivity and integration standards. In this paper we review the current IIoT standards used in manufacturing, present a new IIoT standards landscape for the smart manufacturing paradigm, and describe some of IIoT standards gaps.
