This is the best video breakdown on IIoT I have ever watched. Crystal clear and right to the point. It is a good one！

[KhoaTranGoGrowOfficial]

Your presentation is short, simple, and straight to the main points. Thank you very much. I really liked it.

He's a good teacher and great team player. thanks for the vid!

[MrAdept]

You explain incredible understandable about complicated things!

🎯 Key points for quick navigation:

00:00:00 *🤖 IIoT Overview and Integration Challenges*
- IIoT aims to enhance business efficiency by integrating diverse industrial systems like PLCs, SCADA, MES, and ERP.
- Traditional integration methods involve specific engineering efforts to connect these systems, often using technologies like OPC UA.
- Lack of integration leads to inefficiencies, such as manual data handling and disconnected systems across manufacturing processes.
00:29:00 *🌐 MES and ERP Integration Challenges*
- MES systems traditionally rely on SCADA for data, not directly interfacing with the plant floor equipment.
- Disconnect between MES and ERP systems requires manual data entry and handling, leading to increased costs and inefficiencies.
- IIoT proposes a solution by integrating MES directly with ERP through a unified namespace, reducing reliance on manual data processes.
02:23:00 *📡 IIoT Benefits and Implementation Strategy*
- IIoT enables all industrial devices, including PLCs, routers, and sensors, to publish data to a unified namespace.
- This approach facilitates seamless integration across SCADA, MES, ERP, and cloud systems, reducing integration costs and improving data accessibility.
- Manufacturers adopting IIoT-supported devices can streamline data consumption across their operational layers, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Your are a rockstar man, great skills to explain

[ThuyLe-wqvf]

Where namespace hosted ? Can use distinguish namespace vs data catalog vs data lake?

[prasadkulkarni]

Can you also explain about Digital twins which are the front runners in industry 4.0

Great video, Walker does the U.Named Space = MQQT broker? thanks.

[EmileAckbarali]

Excellent explanation. Thanks for this.

[katecohen]

In your example - machine builders will be responsible for providing IIoT enabled equipment. Agree Agree. However, there are many manufacturers that aren't procuring new equipment and/or have equipment - the OEM is no longer around. They too need to get their legacy automation connected. My point being that manufacturers will in the near-term have to invest @ the PLC level.

[itttottti]

pretty good explaination, keep posting, thx

[dpdAL]

Awesome video with a crisp explanation..kudos

[phillipcooke]

Awesome. Thia fella is inspiring and his depth of Although many acronyms.flew over my head the principles were clear. any chance of.listing the acronyms?

[vanenkhuizen]

Excellent videos, Walker. Thank you for sharing your insights!

Question: What online courses or good-reads do you recommend to get further insights into this topic? 

My background is in ERP/MES-integrations for Sheet-Metal Manufacturing.

[potjeendekseltje]

Have a chat with your Rockwell rep because they have a library for MQTT support.

[emiliekarlsson]

great tutorial with no bullshit or fancy buzzwords!!

[Aditya-mevp]

That's a really good insight into industry 4.0. Can you make a video on what are all the technologies involved at each layer of automation stack and technologies involved to integrate different layers?

[happyface]

The beauty is if you have UN, there is no concept of upstream vs downstream system or data, dependency mgmt become super flexible and adding new process will not incur new integration.

ALL TIME CLASSIC! Lol, on my 4th or 5th watch in a few years.
