[vc_row kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top”][vc_column][vc_column_text]The advancements in business technology solutions always bring new vocabulary and big promises. IIoT technology is no different: while maintenance managers do not have time to track each new fad, when it looks like some of the technology is here to stay \u2013 it’s time to learn its benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

The industrial internet of things (IIoT) is a technology that has moved beyond the hype to offer a serious competitive advantage to businesses. This article will unpack what it means and present ways in which IIoT can benefit your maintenance and asset management strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

IoT and IIoT: What they mean and how they differ<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span>IoT describes an embedded communication and interface protocol that connects different devices via the internet. It refers to consumer-based usage, offering ease of use, acceptable security, and a wide range of general consumer applications. Monitoring your security cameras while at work is an example of IoT.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, IIoT describes network-connected devices <\/span>but with an emphasis on industrial applications<\/b>. Given the mission-criticality of IIoT systems, their reliability, robustness, size, and security are paramount, placing them at a level of sophistication well beyond IoT devices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the volume of data transmitted by IIoT systems requires low-latency communication, high-bandwidth connections, and cloud-based computing power to drive machine learning and artificial intelligence engines.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-bottom” kd_top_separator_style=”skew-left” kd_top_separator_height=”separator-height-small” kd_bottom_separator_style=”skew-left” kd_bottom_separator_height=”separator-height-small” kd_top_separator=”true” kd_bottom_separator=”true” css=”.vc_custom_1682969636891{margin-bottom: 40px !important;padding-top: 120px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;background: #dde4e8 url(https:\/\/limblecmms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/cta-laired-hex-4.webp?id=9077) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 0px !important;}” css_tablet_landscape=”.vc_custom_1682969636891{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}” css_tablet_portrait=”.vc_custom_1682969636891{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}” css_mobile=”.vc_custom_1682969636892{padding-bottom: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner kd_background_image_position=”vc_row-bg-position-top”][vc_column_inner]

How does IIoT benefit maintenance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

IIoT offers businesses cost savings and increased maintenance efficiency and effectiveness by monitoring, recording, and analyzing asset operation and maintenance data. It provides timely and targeted advice on arising issues, preventing breakdowns, and optimizing maintenance actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are four benefits for a business using IIoT for maintenance improvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real-time monitoring<\/span><\/h3>\n

IIoT provides an always-on, always monitoring capability. Using equipment monitoring sensors linked with a <\/span>CMMS system<\/span><\/a> allows real-time asset condition monitoring that provides early identification of small diversion from normal operations, and raises alerts for maintenance intervention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More effective maintenance<\/span><\/h3>\n

IIoT connects maintenance technicians to a wealth of data located locally or globally. They get instant access to:<\/span><\/p>\n
