The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) is running a “short-term, rapid-engagement” pilot to develop a blockchain-based peer-to-peer IoT network for the marine industry. The work will engage various IoT, digital twin, and blockchain elements, to deliver fleet management, tracking, and security, including boat-to-dock payments, maintenance...
The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) has for the first time included an update on satellite connectivity in its Industrial Internet Networking Framework (IINF), its guide to help IoT application developers to design, deploy, and operate industrial networking solutions. It has also joined with the...
The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) has released an industrial IoT and AI framework (IIAIF) to raise awareness of the value artificial intelligence (AI) can bring to industrial IoT systems, and to address emerging requirements and implementation challenges. The 60-page document says AI will become...
The Industrial Internet Consortium has rebranded as the Industry IoT Consortium. The IIC acronym remains. Explanation for the name change was limited, but claims some “new direction” and arguably reflects the technology sector’s acceptance of the internet of things (IoT) as the common technological...
Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CESMII), which brands itself as the Smart Manufacturing Institute in the US, are working together to accelerate the development, adoption, and monetization of industrial IoT technologies, they have said.
Specifically, they have announced joint...
In research for a new report on industrial AR, Enterprise IoT Insights caught up with Farid Bichareh, smart factory chair at the Industrial Internet Consortium and chief technology officer at research and engineering firm AASA (and also at subsidiary LiFi solution provider 01LightComm). Bichareh...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and the Automotive Edge Computing Consortium (AECC) have agreed to work together to define architectural principles to prevent fragmentation of the industrial internet for the automotive industry.
The pair said they will seek to harmonising various aspects of Industry 4.0...

This is an excerpt from a full report called ‘Crossing the IT/OT divide – from co-creation to co-configuration, and how to bring industrial IoT to scale’. The report, part of Enterprise IoT Insights’ ongoing Digital Factory Solutions series, is available to download (for free)...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) has introduced a new pilot programme called Industry Connect Service (ICS) to connect enterprises seeking digital change with experts in the field.
It works like a industrial IoT dating service to connect tech buyers with tech vendors, to explore bespoke...
Stephen Mellor picks up where he left off, and where we left him: the challenge with industrial IoT to gain widespread adoption is as much to do with interpretation as with deployment. Different industrial disciplines have different demands, even if they sometimes appear the...
This is just the beginning, says the Industrial Internet Consortium. Preoccupations with technology are only ever fleeting. The stakes are higher; the future is still being mapped out. 5G – so what? Who cares, really, so long as it works? Connectivity is a utility...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) has added new definitions of ‘IoT sensor’ and ‘IoT actuator’ to its updated ‘dictionary’ of technical definitions for the industrial IoT (IIoT) sector. These terms describe similar IoT devices with dissimilar definitions, it says.
We consider these definitions, below.
The...
Hats off to the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), which continues to publish comprehensive and constructive guides on how to design, deploy, and manage digital change systems in highly individualistic ‘vertical’ sectors, as part of this broader Industrie 4.0 concept.
Its recent publication, Managing and Assessing...
The
Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) is piloting a contract automation tool
that uses artificial intelligence to negotiate between industrial companies,
without human involvement, to arrive at contract terms both sides can settle
on.
In recent weeks, the organisation has also issued comprehensive and constructive guides on trust and...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and the OpenFog Consortium (OpenFog), the largest international consortia in the industrial internet-of-things (IoT) and edge computing markets, have agreed to combine as one organisation.
They said the timing is apt, as their areas of technology are complementary, crossing-over, and...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) has announced results from a pair of testbeds investigating, alternatively, artificial intelligence (AI) for smart buildings management and ways to connect up old factories to new smart manufacturing tools.
In the first case, Dell EMC and Toshiba have developed an...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) is on a charm offensive to strike cross sector alliances with trade bodies, communities and consortia to bring greater harmony and faster transformation of industry as it engages with new digital technologies.
The IIC said last month it had “global...
The appetite for new digital technologies is growing among manufacturers, with certain brands in certain sectors in certain regions experiencing a considerable uplift in performance. But the take-up of smart manufacturing solutions remains tentative, as companies are unsure how to start with digital change...
New definitions of terms used in data management, edge computing, and IT/OT convergence appear in the trade dictionary for the industrial internet-of-things (IIoT), published by the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC).
The new edition of the Industrial Internet Vocabulary Report, version 2.1, also clears up confusion...
The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and the Internet of Things Alliance Australia (IoTAA) have agreed to work together to harmonise aspects of the industrial internet to help improve the digital economy.
The pair said the two parties will combine their standardisation efforts in order to...
The move to a ‘lights-out’ factory has already begun, but the developing transition requires an overhaul of industrial facilities, equipment, systems and people if it is to go the distance. Transformation of the manufacturing industry, or ‘vertical’ in service-provider parlance, must also make way...
