The Industrial Internet of Things: Creating intelligent solutions to solve real-world problems by IEEE

This article is a good introduction to the mechanics and benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT), and highlights include: reduce costs; improve efficiency; avoid downtime; getting connected; collecting data; the cloud; gateways; triggers..

With all of your data collected, transferred, and stored in the cloud, you can now use software to manipulate, analyze, and act on it. Triggers can be as simple as sending alerts when thresholds are met or as complex as modifying main or sub-system instructions, tasks, or processes based on several points of data. The actions can be manual or automated processes that help improve efficiency and productivity or aid in avoiding downtime or equipment breakdowns.
