This webinar introduces Industrial IoT (IIoT) and explains how manufacturers can connect existing sensors, controllers, and fieldbus networks to a single data platform for real-time monitoring and long-term analysis. The presentation clarifies how IIoT differs from traditional SCADA by focusing on higher-level data aggregation, accessibility, and cross-department visibility, then walks through common IIoT system architecture using gateways/controllers to bridge serial and Ethernet devices into cloud or private-network dashboards. The video highlights ICP DAS USA IIoT-ready hardware—such as the UA-5231 for OPC UA/MQTT connectivity, WISE-5231 for web-based IF-THEN-ELSE logic and data logging, and PMC-5141 for power meter data concentration—before introducing IOTStar, ICP DAS USA’s IoT management platform for centralized device monitoring, database storage, remote configuration, firmware updates, and integration with analytics tools or SCADA software.
