he Industrial IoT has move past the thinking phase. Real work is being done, in particular in the form of the testbeds of the Industrial Internet Consortium to validate the technical approach to various IoT challenges in domains such as water management, smart grid, smart cities, manufacturing, predictive maintenance, and more. Several of the testbeds used GE Predix as part of their architecture.

The Industrial Internet in Numbers
• GE: $32.3 trillion opportunity representing 46% share of GDP today
• Cisco: Internet of Things (IoT) will increase private sector profits 21% and
add $19 trillion to the global economy by 2020
• Gartner: IoT product and service suppliers will generate incremental
revenue exceeding $300 billion in 2020
• McKinsey Global Institute: $33 trillion operating costs of key affected
industries could be impacted by IoT
• Why?
• New products and services
• Operational efficiencies that will drive down costs
• Improved service levels
Sources: GE, Cisco, Gartner, McKinsey

IoT or IIoT?
• There is a fine
line between
consumer IoT
and industrial
IoT
• Some
applications
integrate both
• Smart cities
• Smart grid
• Solutions will
migrate across
the two
domains

Industrial Internet Reference Architecture (IIRA)
• Based on a hierarchy of
viewpoints
• Business
• Usage
• Functional
• Further decomposed at right 
• Implementation
• Spans the scope from
automation to analytics and
connects the two
• Assumes a 3-tier architecture
• Edge, platform, enterprise
• Related to the concept of “fog
computing” (Cisco)

22. 22
Cybersecurity: a Key
IIoT Challenge
• Security challenges in IIoT were
raised in 2013
• Few people listened
• First connected devices had
basically no security
• Connectivity improved faster than
security
• The Industrial IoT cannot afford
the low level of security of
consumer IoT
• We’re now seeing awareness and
actual work: better late than never

23. 23
Summary and Conclusion
• The IIoT went quickly from concept to reality
• It presents huge opportunities
• It still doesn’t come in a neat box with batteries and
instructions
• Security thinking is lagging behind connectivity thinking
• Don’t forget about privacy and data residency issues
• Don’t go at it alone – this is an ideal opportunity for
partnerships
