The Industrial Internet of Things: connecting industrial assets to get more information out of them. Condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, energy analysis, process optimization, fleet management, remote monitoring.

The difference from consumer IoT is not the sensors but the demands: reliability, security, availability and integration with legacy systems that will not be replaced (OT). A smart bulb can drop offline; a compressor's vibration feed cannot silently stop.

The enabling stack is the data layer itself: telemetry out of the assets, an edge gateway to translate and buffer, MQTT in the plant to distribute, a time-series database or historian to keep it, and analytics on top. Across many sites it becomes fleet data.
