Industrial IoT Applications
IoT Industries and Markets
• Many things are currently connected
using a loose collection of
independent networks.
• Independent networks are harder
to incorporate into the IoT.
• Systems that would benefit
from convergence: cars and
residential and office buildings.
• A converged network is a
powerful network that includes
comprehensive security, analytics,
and management capabilities.

Industrial IoT Applications
IoT Industries and Markets
• Cisco IoT System helps organizations and industries adopt IoT solutions.
• Provides an infrastructure designed to manage large scale systems with very
different endpoints and platforms, and the huge amount of data.
• Uses a set of new and existing products and technologies to help reduce the
complexity of digitization.
• Uses the six pillars described in the figure to identify foundational elements.

Device Management

Industrial IoT Applications
IoT Industries and Markets
• Network devices send and receive many different flows of traffic.
• These traffic flows can be grouped into three different categories:
• Data plane - Also called the forwarding plane, it is a logic abstraction of all
the activities done by the devices to receive data from other devices and
forward it to the next device on its way to the destination.
• Control plane - This is where the decision regarding which path the data
should take is made. The control plane of adjacent devices can exchange
information for finding the best strategy to forward the data. This is what
happens in the standard routing approach.
• Management plane - The traffic in this plane is meant to access the device
itself. This is where, in the case of a standard IT network, the network
administrator will connect to modify the configuration or to update the
software running on the device.
• The management of IoT nodes using the standard approach of remote
connections (Telnet, SSH or web) is not scalable because of the very
large number of IoT devices. To successfully manage these large
numbers of devices requires a more automated form of management.

IoT Industries and Markets
• The IoT creates new opportunities for the interaction and
relationship between a variety of connected devices.
• The IoT is about the integration of devices as a whole
system, a holistic approach.
• The integration of devices and systems creates new business
opportunities and customer experiences.

IoT Industries and Markets
• Integration of complex
machinery, sensors and software.
• Example: driverless car uses data
from different systems to be
driven safely.
• Most common application is
predictive maintenance.
• Sensors in trains, planes, and
large equipment keep track of
hours of operation, machine
output, environmental factors
and determine when it needs
maintenance.

• There is also an increasing
pressure to use low-carbon
energy sources instead of fossil
fuels.
• Different ways of thinking
about power and the way that
it is consumed are needed.

infrastructure.
• Multiple siloed operational technology networks
become a problem.
• Diversity in networks increases cost and
complexity.
• That lack of integration leads to a broad range of
issues, including:
• Inefficient operations
• Slow response times both in the factory and in
the market
• Poor quality control
• High overhead
• Compromised security

6.3 Summary
• The Cisco IoT System relies on six pillars: Network Connectivity, Fog
Computing, Security, Data Analysis, Management and Automation, and
Application Enablement Platform. Security is very important for IoT, because
it ensures that the data, control, and management planes are secure.
• The IoT spreads across both vertical and horizontal markets. Connected
Healthcare, Smart Cities, Smart Grids and Connected Manufacturing are a
few examples of real world IoT Systems.
• Connected Healthcare uses the IoT to help healthcare providers reduce
costs, improve productivity, and deliver better care to people in rural
communities as well as in urban centers.
• Smart Cities value propositions encompass lighting, operations centers,
parking, safety and security, traffic, and Wi-Fi.
• Smart grid brings the notion of the consumers generating power for
themselves and the grid. Connected
