工业物联网的英语解释
The Internet of Things for Industry (Industry: a group of productive enterprises or organizations that produce or supply goods, services, or sources of income)。
The difference between industrial Internet of Things and traditional automation:
There is a fundamental difference between industrial Internet of
Things and advanced manufacturing technology represented by industrial automation. In general, industrial automation is the technical application for internal production within an enterprise, and the industrial Internet of Things is an interoperable service application for intra/inter enterprises. The specific differences between the two are as follows:
1.Wider Interconnectivity
Industrial automation is a kind of advanced manufacturing technology in industrial production，The interconnection and interoperability under the concept of automation refers to the interconnection between production equipment and technical personal. It is the network system within the factory / enterprise. Industrial Internet of Things has a far broader interconnection than industrial automation. The industrial Internet of Things links up the whole industry and even the public system. From the physical location point of view, the industrial Internet of Things can cross enterprises, cross regional; From a scale point of view, the industrial Internet of things can cross industry and cross field. In other words, in the concept of generalized industry, the industrial Internet of things is the information carrier system of the whole society, which is fundamentally different from the industrial automation.
2.More Comprehensive Intelligent Service
Industrial automation is primary industrial intelligence technology, its purpose is to liberate human resources, improve production efficiency. Through the analysis of one or several industrial processes, industrial automation introduces an appropriate sensing system, an executive system and a human-computer interaction system to accomplish the process of primary industrial intelligence. Industrial automation is concerned with the actual production process, which is based on the "workshop" as the framework of the technical system.
Compared with industrial automation, industrial Internet of things has more comprehensive intelligent services. In addition to the intersection between industrial automation and IIOT, in the area of industrial data acquisition and execution control, the industrial Internet of things mainly involves the management, operation, overall planning, decision-making and other aspects of the enterprise / industry / public utilities. Compared with industrial automation, the industrial Internet of things aims at the construction of "smart" industry, and has a more comprehensive and advanced intelligent service. Industrial intelligence in the traditional sense refers to the ability to acquire the right information in the industrial domain; And the intelligent industry advocated by the industrial Internet of things has the ability to take the initiative to obtain the right information, there is a higher demand for the coordination and integration of information.
3.Higher safety requirements
Industrial automation technology comes from the enterprise production link. Therefore, the information of industrial automation is more focused on the transfer of information in a single production sector. With the further penetration of IT technology in the field of production, information needs to be shared across sectors, across enterprises and across industries, to achieve coordination of various business segments in a wide range.
The industrial Internet of things connects each isolated enterprise unit by one or more thematic factors, through the Internet of things technology to realize the interconnection and intercommunication of information. Therefore, information sharing is a basic feature of the industrial Internet of things, which is the biggest difference between industrial Internet of Things and industrial automation.
As a special field of the Internet of Things (IoT), the industrial Internet of things (IIoT) has an internal architecture extending along different directions with instrumentation and private network as its basic components, and its own technology is different from the general Internet of Things technology as follows:
1.High degree of heterogeneity
The coexistence of real time data, media data and relational data in IIoT, and the coexistence of private network and public network, makes the whole structure full of various heterogeneity.
2.Mass data
Compared with the traditional IoT, the IIoT contains much more data than the traditional IoT application, because of its wide coverage and the characteristics of cross enterprise / industry / field.
3.Higher safety requirements
The application fields of IIoT often have higher technical requirements, operational risks and benefits return. These characteristics determine that the IIoT has higher security requirements than the traditional IoT. That is, in the security architecture, network security technology, potential risks with intelligent equipment, privacy protection, security management and assurance measures, there is a higher standard than the traditional IoT.
According to the above characteristics of IIoT, ASAT has re-divided and layered the technical logic structure of IIoT. Based on the concept of "data", the three layer structure of traditional IoT concept is transformed into a four tier structure which is more suitable for the characteristics and requirements of industrial networking.
From the perspective of current technology development and application prospects, the application requirements of IIoT mainly focus on the following aspects:
1.Supply Chain Management
The application of IIoT in supply chain management can be called "industrial intelligent logistics", which is the intelligent management of Supply Chain based on the IIoT technology and aim at the input and output links of enterprise units.Industrial intelligence logistics is mainly used to solve the material transfer, tracking, control，deployment，overall planning and coordination among enterprise units and between enterprise units and the outside world. For example, in petrochemical enterprises, tracking and total quantity control of petrochemical raw materials and semi-finished products.
2.Process Optimization of Production Process
Production process optimization of IIoT is to use IIoT technology to achieve a greater range of wisdom introduction, to help companies solve technical problems which is difficult for them to deal with based on their own technical capability. For example, in the injection molding machine industry, it is difficult for many companies to solve lower yield problem in production. Through IIoT, the experts in the relevant field can be introduced and participate in the production process online. The IIoT related technology, can provide information to experts, like production line process status and real-time data, so that experts can directly analyze the production problem remotely, so as to propose appropriate solutions. At the same time, because the experts are through the IIoT to guide enterprises without the need to visit the production site, which ensures that experts can effectively provide technical services for many enterprises, so as to achieve full wisdom sharing.
3.Product Equipment Monitoring and Maintenance
The integration of various sensing technology and manufacturing technology has realized remote monitoring of product equipment operation record and equipment fault diagnosis. Using the IIoT technology, we can realize the third party agent maintenance service, so as to liberate the enterprise from the equipment maintenance quagmire, and devote more energy into the business field. At the same time, the third party service providers can achieve a reliable and effective one-to-many business service model through the IIoT, to maximize the implementation of agent service providers and related enterprises to be more elitist, loose coupling the overall function in the enterprise.
4.Environmental Monitoring and Energy Management
The application of IIoT in environmental protection monitoring and energy management field is a typical industry application. Through the analysis and management of the common elements of enterprise units, relying on the IIoT as the technical support and operation platform, the virtual operators of the IIoT are introduced to realize the new industrial types and business models. For example, in the area of energy management, the government departments and enterprises, energy saving suppliers, universities and research institutes are interconnected organically to integrate energy information and data. Relying on the technical system and platform provided by the virtual operators of the IIoT, various services and applications are realized.
5.Industrial and Public Safety Management
The application of IIoT in the area of industrial safety and public security refers to the use IIoT technology 头output technology for related fields, so as to achieve the operation of related functions. For example, in urban public security, the IIoT technology can solve the massive heterogeneous data integration across different sectors and industries, and provide efficient real-time support platform and bus technology, so as to realize the function of rapid response mechanism in urban public security field.
