Smart Sensing II: From the Breadboard to the Dashboard – Webinar https://lnkd.in/erXaGxS5 March 13 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am The Internet of Things (IoT), originally coined in 1999, has made its way into the vernacular only in the past few years; it is now commonly associated as being a puzzle piece of Smart Manufacturing. What was lacking at the turn of the century was a clear understanding of how these “new-concept” devices would talk to systems of importance, e.g., a controller or ingestion mechanism, and, more importantly, how they would be ultimately used to benefit our everyday lives. Home automation, smartphone-enabled and other simple devices soon became commonplace, and we began to see the benefit of these “things.” Fast forward, the industry found great utility in placing these devices within their own systems to capture information that may not have been native when the original system was developed. The IoT Wild West began… Today, with the need for robustness and security, IoT devices in the industrial world have taken on another qualifier, IIoT. Industrial Internet of Things devices are smart sensors for industrial settings. In this second installment of Smart Sensing, join our host for a quick lesson on how a simple device may be used “bare” for simple control and then promoted to connecting to the cloud, where data can be extracted, displayed, and acted upon in rapid fashion. #ncstateies #technology #sensors
