Industrial IoT vs Traditional Industrial Controls
Developers should learn IIoT when working on projects that require integrating physical industrial assets with digital systems, such as smart factories, supply chain optimization, or energy management meets developers should learn traditional industrial controls when working in industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities, or automotive, where robust automation of physical processes is critical. Here's our take.
Industrial IoT
Developers should learn IIoT when working on projects that require integrating physical industrial assets with digital systems, such as smart factories, supply chain optimization, or energy management
Industrial IoT
Nice PickDevelopers should learn IIoT when working on projects that require integrating physical industrial assets with digital systems, such as smart factories, supply chain optimization, or energy management
Pros
- +It is essential for roles involving industrial automation, data analytics from machinery, or developing solutions for Industry 4
- +Related to: iot, edge-computing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Traditional Industrial Controls
Developers should learn Traditional Industrial Controls when working in industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities, or automotive, where robust automation of physical processes is critical
Pros
- +It's essential for roles involving industrial automation, process control, or integration of IT systems with operational technology (OT), such as in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) projects or legacy system maintenance
- +Related to: programmable-logic-controllers, scada
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Industrial IoT if: You want it is essential for roles involving industrial automation, data analytics from machinery, or developing solutions for industry 4 and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Traditional Industrial Controls if: You prioritize it's essential for roles involving industrial automation, process control, or integration of it systems with operational technology (ot), such as in industrial internet of things (iiot) projects or legacy system maintenance over what Industrial IoT offers.
