Industrial Internet of Things

OVERVIEW
Building Strategic Influence in Matrix Organizations

There are billions of physical devices all around us that are connected to the internet, collecting and sharing different kinds of data all the time. These connected devices comprise the Internet of Things, one of the most promising technologies of Industry 4.0. Internet of Things is making the world a smarter and more responsive place, merging the digital and physical universes.

Industrial Internet of Things or IIoT is build on the concept of IoT. IIoT, often also referred to as Industrial Internet is a digital ecosystem of connected machines, equipment, and devices that can communicate with each other. This cyber-physical system with machine-to-machine communication monitors and evaluates the physical processes to de-centralize the decision-making process.

IIoT brings together critical assets, advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics, and is changing the way industries operate. In such competitive times, upskilling oneself in IIoT can provide a major thrust for one’s career. Cognixia’s IIoT online training covers important concepts of industrial automation – both PLC and SCADA. It discusses sensor data mining, wireless sensor area networks (WSAN), smart factories, industrial cloud platforms, while also shedding light on Industrial IoT security. The IIoT certification course also gives participants hands-on experience in the field with practical assignments and labs. The IIoT certification course ensures participants to gain a thorough understanding of all concepts discussed during the sessions.
