Journey to an Intelligent Industrial IoT Network

Explore a comprehensive conference talk detailing the journey towards an intelligent industrial IoT network. Learn how Japanese factories enhanced physical security and employee productivity through open systems, networking, and IoT platforms. Discover the role of edge computing in reducing data transmission from terabytes to kilobytes, and understand how data aggregation and analysis near sensors optimize cloud communication. Gain insights into flow information capture, both current and historical, and examine real-world Industrial IoT use cases. Delve into various operations and maintenance tools supporting proactive policy-based flow analysis for edge computing and fog nodes, enabling end-to-end IT and OT visibility from a network perspective. Investigate general and security challenges in industrial networks, including the myth of air gap security and the importance of defense in depth. Compare data center and factory plant networks, and understand the key role of virtualization in creating intelligent industrial networks. Explore the significance of open-source technologies like OpenFog, Kura, and TCG's open IF MAP server in this evolving landscape.
