The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and connectivity which enables these objects to connect and exchange data.
In Industry 4.0, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) plays a critical role in the digitalization of the manufacturing process. By connecting machines and devices, manufacturers can collect and analyze vast amounts of data in real-time, enabling them to optimize production processes and reduce downtime.
