IOT vs. IIOT
Although the internet of things and the industrial internet of things have many
technologies in common, including cloud platforms, sensors, connectivity,
machine-to-machine communications and data analytics, they are used for
different purposes.
IoT applications connect devices across multiple verticals, including
agriculture, healthcare, enterprise, consumer and utilities, as well as
government and cities. IoT devices include smart appliances, fitness bands
and other applications that generally don't create emergency situations if
something goes amiss.
IIoT applications, on the other hand, connect machines and devices in such
industries as oil and gas, utilities and manufacturing. System failures and
downtime in IIoT deployments can result in high-risk situations or even life-
threatening situations. IIoT applications are also more concerned with
improving efficiency and improving health or safety, versus the user-centric
nature of IoT applications.
