Industrial Internet of Things for Manufacturing Professionals

Course Overview
Estimates for the IoT market value are massive, since by definition the IoT is an integrated and diffused layer of devices, sensors, and computing power that overlays entire consumer, business-to-business, and government industries. The IoT will account for an increasingly huge number of connections: 1.9 billion devices today, and 9 billion by 2018. That year, it will be roughly equal to the number of smartphones, smart TVs, tablets, wearable computers, and PCs combined.
In the consumer space, many products and services have already crossed over into the IoT, including kitchen and home appliances, parking, RFID, lighting and heating products, and a number of applications in Industrial Internet. What had changed in last couple of years is the emergence of number of inexpensive wireless technologies added by overwhelming adaptation of smart phones and tablets in every home. Explosive growth of mobile devices led to present demand of IoT.
Industrial IoT, or IIoT for manufacturing has been widely in use since 2014 and since then a large number of IIoT innovations have taken place. This course will introduce all the important aspects of innovations in Industrial IoT area.
This training is intended for a technology and business review of an emerging industry so that IoT enthusiasts/ entrepreneurs can grasp the basics of IoT technology and business.
Target Audience
This course is designed for managers who are responsible for business and operational processes within their respective manufacturing organizations and those who wish to know how to harness IoT to make systems and processes more efficient.
