Choosing Solutions You Can Use Now for Making a Small Start and Scaling Up the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

Goals and Issues when Implementing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in Factories of All Sizes 

There have been efforts to promote digital transformation (DX) in a number of countries, with examples including the announcement in 2011 by the German government of Industry 4.0 (the Fourth Industrial Revolution) (approved in 2012)*1 and the initial proposal by the Japanese government in 2016 of Society 5.0*2 as part of its 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan. It has therefore been some time since the expression Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) started spreading and eventually became established, and there has been a great deal of discussion related to Industry 5.0 (the Fifth Industrial Revolution). Against this background, the concept of IIoT has begun to shift from one centered around things to one centered around people, and a large number of solutions and use cases have emerged with the aim of providing a more sophisticated user experience (UX).
