Challenges and Requirements of Industrial IoT Applications

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) refer to physical systems which are linked together via a network to communicate with one another and their environment. Future industrial systems will have a crucial role for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). With an end goal to grasp the development of IoT and IIoT, in this thesis we give a survey of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and how it differs from the Internet of Things (IoT). We also discuss numerous IoT applications in various industries, security challenges, advanced features and characteristics of IoT, IIoT, and Industry 4.0. The main objective of this research is to present a thorough overview of the IIoT evaluation. This thesis provides insight to increasing requirements of various IoT and IIoT applications. In addition, the thesis discusses potential IIoT solutions, and considers certain essential security aspects.
