The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term used to describe networked objects. For consumers, "smart devices" can range from watches, to refrigerators, to chairs. For example, in the analogue world, a chair is simply a chair. IoT chairs, however, might be equipped with sensors that report data like posture, weight change over time, time spent sitting, and other metrics. When combined with sophisticated software, these stats provide unique and useful insights.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is a broad term that refers to the rapid rise of industrial automation in the past decade and encompasses networked, "smart," homes, cities, and electrical grids. "The IIoT holds great potential for improved communications, productivity, quality control, supply chain efficiencies, and overall business operations," said Lancen LaChance, VP of IoT solutions at GlobalSign.
IIoT devices are switched online every day. In 2014 the International Data Corporation (IDC) estimated that the total IoT market could hit $7.1 trillion by 2020 and account for nearly half of all connected devices. Lux Researchestimated the Industrial IoT market alone would hit $151 billion by
