IoT in Industry 4.0: Applications and challenges
Keywords:
IoT, IIoT, Sensors, Data acquisition and Security
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices involve different types of data. These devices named as sensors are responsible for generating real world data based on the physical properties they measure. For example, temperature sensor produced temperature readings. Sensor collects data continuously or periodically, providing a stream of information that reflects changes in environment or conditions. Relating to the IoT, data from sensors transmitted to the central system usually through wireless communication protocols. The collected data can be utilized for various purposes such as monitoring, analysis and decision making or triggering actions. This study provides a review of IoT and industrial IoT (IIoT). Further, this paper highlights Applications, challenges and tools in detail.
