ABSTRACT

The IoT comprises billions of intelligent devices that interact, gather, and share data via sensors and actuators. The Industrial IoT (IIoT), specifically used in industry and production, is used in automation and rapid production of goods based on machine learning techniques. Similarly, Cyber-Physical System (CPS) plays a vital role in the next-generation industry. The CPSs are intelligent systems that interconnect the physical world through embedded systems, sensors, actuators with the cyberworld. We require a communication backbone for interconnecting and information processing, which 6G networks can fulfill. The 6G has a higher capacity and improved characteristics than previous cellular networks, accelerating the applications and deployments of 6G-based IIoT networks in industry platforms. This chapter discusses how the 6G networks can help interconnect the CPS and IIoT through smart connection, digital twinning, and immersive technology.
