Industrial IoT
in context of Enterprise software
• Data exchange is produced layer by layer

19. Industrial IoT
in context of Enterprise software
• Industrial IoT breaks this data
exchange structure

20. Industrial IoT
in context of Enterprise software
• Enterprise Software, devices and
processes can “talk” to each other
• A software platform – IoT platform –
connects and translates

21. Industrial IoT
