With the adoption of the Industrial IoT, there’s an explosion of data being produced by the interconnected devices on the factory floor. This data must be processed in real-time to avoid bottlenecks. To manage this abundance of data in a deterministic manner, industrial OEMs are turning to open, standardized Ethernet-based protocols.
This paper describes the smart factory connectivity challenges for IIoT devices, and the solutions available today to manage these real-time data processing challenges.
