Industry IoT Consortium
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have made huge gains over the last few years, thanks to the vast amount of data available and to the gains made in raw hardware processing power. The success of AI and ML also comes with certain risks, however – in particular the risks around privacy of the collected data... Read more →
The IoT Solutions World Congress 2019 held in Barcelona in October attracted over 16,000 attendees and 300 expert speakers who explored the latest Industrial IoT innovations, delving into six themes: connected transport, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, buildings & infrastructure and open industry--as well as two forums: AI & Cognitive Systems and Blockchain....

Edge computing, fog computing, mist, cloudlets, thing-to-cloud continuum and fog-to-cloud continuum, elasticity, multi-tenancy, data gravity. When it comes to the state of computing infrastructure and operations for the IoT, these are just the tip of the iceberg of terms that have percolated to the front page of today’s tech lexicon. If you’ve ever wondered what it all means, how it’s all put together and what the benefits are, you’ve come to the right place.... Read more →
Industrial and IIoT networks almost always represent engineering risks, as well as conventional “business” risks. Engineering risk is risk to physical operations: plants shutting down, threats to employee safety and equipment damage. Micro-segmentation is an effective security strategy to address these physical/engineering risks in OT and IIoT networks.... Read more →
As the IoT expands into every corner of the world, there is no question that intelligent edge architecture is critical to ensure the viability of the enterprise. And not just critical, but unavoidable.... Read more →
Early in the evolution of the IoT, analysts and pundits were obsessed with the ability to connect billions of IoT “things” to the Internet. Not only were most of these predictions proven overly optimistic, but the linkage between sheer connectivity and meaningful business outcomes was loose, at best. We now witness a similar data deluge campaign: given enough data and clever computational techniques, we can make learning systems more “intelligent.” But is it enough?... Read more →
An early definition of artificial intelligence was one of “thinking machines” that could make decisions like humans, and with some people, elicited a fear that these thinking machines could actually replace humans in the manufacturing world. Today’s perception of AI, however, is geared more towards machines that exhibit human reasoning as a “guide to provide better services or create better products rather than trying to achieve a perfect replica of the human mind.”...

On May 17th, the Edge Lab is hosting a special conference celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Lab on the Princeton campus. “Edge10: A Conference on Edge & Fog” is open to the public and represents an important milestone for the edge industry. The conference will feature prominent leaders from the nation's leading research universities and industry, including large, established players and vibrant startups.... Read more →
Initiated in 2010, IoT Day is about sharing anecdotes to help raise awareness about the many ways the industrial internet impacts the world. This year, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) celebrates our 5th anniversary, and we are participating with a social media campaign (#IoTDay) featuring member success, testbed results and the value of participating in the IIC ecosystem....
