Industrial IoT vs Manual Monitoring
Developers should learn IIoT when working in industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, or smart cities, where it's used for applications like predictive maintenance to prevent equipment failures, supply chain optimization, and energy management meets developers should learn manual monitoring for scenarios where automated systems are unavailable, during initial development phases to understand system behavior, or in legacy environments with limited tooling. Here's our take.

Industrial IoT
Nice PickDevelopers should learn IIoT when working in industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, or smart cities, where it's used for applications like predictive maintenance to prevent equipment failures, supply chain optimization, and energy management
Pros
- +It's essential for building systems that integrate hardware sensors with software for data-driven decision-making, often requiring skills in edge computing, real-time data processing, and industrial protocols like OPC UA or MQTT
- +Related to: edge-computing, mqtt
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Manual Monitoring
Developers should learn manual monitoring for scenarios where automated systems are unavailable, during initial development phases to understand system behavior, or in legacy environments with limited tooling
Pros
- +It's crucial for troubleshooting immediate issues, gaining hands-on insights into system performance, and as a fallback when automated monitoring fails, ensuring operational resilience and quick problem resolution
- +Related to: log-analysis, system-administration
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
These tools serve different purposes. Industrial IoT is a platform while Manual Monitoring is a methodology. We picked Industrial IoT based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.
Based on overall popularity. Industrial IoT is more widely used, but Manual Monitoring excels in its own space.
