Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) Essentials
Learn Sensors, Connectivity, Edge Computing, Cloud Systems, Data Acquisition, and Cybersecurity for Modern Smart Industries.
This course provides a complete introduction to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and its role in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
You begin by learning what IIoT is, how it works, and the key components that form the foundation of connected industrial systems.
You will study data acquisition, data processing, real-time analytics, and the importance of data in industrial operations. Edge computing modules cover edge devices, analytics, security, practical use cases, and hands-on work with Node-RED and MQTT Explorer.
Cloud computing is covered in depth, including cloud models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, FaaS), deployment types, cloud storage, data management, advantages and disadvantages, and key security aspects.
The course also includes cybersecurity for IIoT. Covering challenges, vulnerabilities, protection tools, security protocols, cyber attacks, case studies, and lessons learned from real-world breaches.
