ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to understand the Internet of Things (IoTs) and the several different lead stages and real-world applications and explores industrial IoT and its relation to manufacturing. IoTs are an important part of Internet, just as the steam engine, mass production, railroad, and telegraphy typify the Industrial Revolution. IoTs connect the physical world and the digital or virtual world to enhance the quality of life for humans with minimal or no human intervention. The advantages of IoTs, along with the data they produce, have significantly impacted our lives. IoT-enabled sensors and devices provide intelligence and detailed data analytics to energy companies and consumers. In the manufacturing sector, IoT devices add intelligence to industrial manufacturing and are poised to transform equipment, processing, and management. IoT devices consist of a collection of various technologies that work together seamlessly. In addition to protocols and standards, an IoT ecosystem requires bandwidth, interoperability, power usage, and range for successful deployment.
