What ’ s New at the IIC ?
SUMMER SLOWDOWN ?
In today ’ s ever connected society , our devices enable us to get more accomplished in less time , or efficiently accomplished with dedicated “ screen time .” This enhanced productivity and less downtime comes partially as a result of the Internet , but also as a result of the Industrial Internet Revolution , powered by Industrial Internet Consortium ( IIC ) members .
The IIC did not slow down for the summer ! Several IIC Testbeds have reached a level of maturity where results have emerged and have recently been encapsulated in the report , Why we Build Testbeds : First Results . Two editions of the Journal of Innovation , plus the Industrial Internet Vocabulary Technical Report v . 2.0 were published . Liaison Member agreements were announced between the IIC and the Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association , the Edge Computing Consortium , and oneM2M . New testbeds were introduced in the areas of Smart Factory Machine Learning , Deep Learning Facilities and Retail Video Analytics . New videos were published in support of the Industrial Analytics Whitepaper , the Business Strategy and Innovation Framework and the Security Framework . We hosted the Q3 IIC Quarterly Meeting and IIoT World Tour in Singapore , and finally , we will start the new quarter by heading to Barcelona for the annual IoT Solutions World Congress 2017 .
FROM TESTBEDS TO RESULTS
Testbeds bring IoT out of the realm of abstract theory and turn it into hands-on applications . As a major focus and activity of the Industrial Internet Consortium , we are continually adding new testbeds many of which are now reporting tangible results .
The outcomes from testbeds are the cornerstones of a feedback loop from concept to reality and back to guidance for further innovation . We are pleased to deliver the September 2017 report , Why We Build Testbeds : First Results , describing specific results from several testbeds .
JOURNAL OF INNOVATION
The Industrial Internet Consortium ' s Journal of Innovation ( JoI ) - the initiative of our Thought Leadership Task Group - highlights the innovative ideas , approaches , products , and services emerging within the Industrial Internet .
A “ Smart Cities ” edition of the JoI was published in June 2017 with a spotlight on IIoT as one of the main technology drivers behind smart cities .
The theme of the September 2017 edition is “ Edge Computing -- Where is the Edge of the Edge in Industrial IoT ?”
