Industrial Internet of Things Trends (IIoT)

Simulation advances the IIoT and digital twins by speeding the development of connected hardware and embedded software that create the data used to simulate digital twins of physical assets.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) creates enormous opportunities for business growth. It connects devices across a wide spectrum of industrial equipment and assets in industries like manufacturing, metal and mining, energy production, processing, transportation and end use applications. These connected devices share data that streamlines business processes and alerts companies to problems in real time, or ahead of time for predictive maintenance.

But the data created by the IIoT is only one piece of the puzzle. Without simulation, much of the data made available by IIoT connection would go to waste. With simulation, it’s possible to create the systems that power the IIoT, and then use the IIoT data to create digital twins of physical assets that let us better understand systems, predict problems and failures, optimize processes and improve production time and costs.

Unlock your Business's Full Potential with the IIoT

Create and Monitor Digital Twins

Data from connected sensors and actuators on a deployed product are used to create a digital twin that can be analyzed for optimization.

Reduce Costs

Virtual solutions testing and an accurate understanding of the real-time status of a deployed product can reduce unnecessary downtime and wasted materials.

Predictive Maintenance

Data from digital twins augments regular maintenance schedules and enables accurate prediction of problems before they arise.

Connect the Edge to the Enterprise

Smart devices in the field allow monitoring of your whole system based on current data, not historical averages.

Overview

The Internet of Things represents a staggeringly complex ensemble of interconnected products, devices and systems. Each component and subcomponent in the system affects and is affected by all the others. To ensure cost-effective and timely development, successful engineering of IIoT products relies on numerous applications, including antenna design and placement, chip-package system development, power electronics, electromagnetic interference/compatibility (EMI/EMC), electronics reliability and battery simulation.

Digital Twins: Making the Vision Achievable

2020-11-iiot-automation.jpg

Digital twins have the potential to revolutionize how manufacturers do business in industries like oil and gas, automotive, and aerospace and defense

Since the idea of a digital twin first took hold, the potential benefits have been obvious. Digital twins mean minimized or eliminated downtime, thanks to predictive maintenance, reduced labor costs and new insights for developing next-generation technology based on huge amounts of complex, real-world data. Unfortunately, implementation has historically been almost prohibitively difficult. Modern simulation solutions have finally cracked the implementation barrier and made the digital twin vision a reality.

Because of the huge array of benefits — both in terms of immediate cost-savings and informed decision making for the future — the industry leaders of tomorrow will be those who implement these game-changing technologies today. Digital twin technology is an investment that will keep adopters at the forefront of their industry for years to come.

Double Down on the IIoT With Digital Twins

Digital twins represent a huge cost savings for companies that implement them, but the benefits don’t stop there. They can also help you unlock new revenue streams and reignite your business.

How to Create a Digital Twin

When Joseph Strauss, Leon Moisseiff and Charles Alton Ellis designed San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in 1917, the engineers likely knew it would become a world-famous bridge. After all, when it opened in 1937, it was the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world. They would have had no way of imagining that other engineers would one day create a digital twin of the bridge, but that’s what engineers at Ozen Engineering have done with the help of Ansys software...
