This article will tell you how to deploy the industrial Internet of things.
1. Define goals
The main goal of deploying the industrial Internet of things is to reduce costs and improve efficiency (related reading: how to grasp the matching of tools and machine tools), and it can also be to achieve remote monitoring of systems and processes. When the target is determined, we can analyze the components according to the existing equipment and data.
This process is very important. In most cases, it is impossible to replace all the old equipment, and the cost is too high. Therefore, in practice, machining enterprises prefer to integrate communication equipment and protocol conversion software to connect all systems, so as to make effective use of existing equipment.
2. Device connection
The Internet of things is a "network", so to realize connection, enterprises must connect machines and sensors from different manufacturers. For old equipment without communication ability, sensors can be integrated for processing, and a sensor network can be strategically re deployed to meet the requirements of data collection.
When the device completes the connection and realizes the communication between devices, we should also consider how to push the data. The real power of industrial Internet of things and cloud computing comes from data centralization and integrated applications to extract and process information. Many industrial IOT platforms now provide databases with data storage time processing, equipment supply and reporting capabilities. Although they are usually configured for specific applications, many of them are built for simple and rapid implementation.
3. Remove obstacles
In the industrial Internet of things, privacy and security are important obstacles to investment in the industrial Internet of things. When collecting and transmitting sensitive data, it must be protected. Therefore, the industrial Internet of things should take special security measures to ensure that the system can safely collect, monitor, process and store data. However, to ensure security, we need to solve the balance between time, resource related costs and data protection.
