Summary
This chapter was the penultimate of this book and focused on practical challenges in implementing remote IIoT solutions. Remote monitoring is one of the low-hanging applications of IIoT, where the benefits clearly outweigh the investments made. Remote monitoring also brings about the opportunity to move toward service-oriented architecture design, which we hope was clear throughout the chapter. The number of applications and business use cases that can be constructed and integrated with such a platform is large.
After the case for remote monitoring was presented and cemented, we jumped into the challenges in data acquisition and building a solution architecture around the mitigation path.
Sustainability was one of the key messages from this chapter and will be very prominent in the coming years. Designing solutions around constraints and requirements focusing on value drivers, especially sustainability, is going to be the key as we build solutions for the next generations...
