What’s New at the IIC?
Testbeds highlighted in the First Results report are:
Track and Trace – Improves the overall manufacturing process by accurately tracking and
tracing industrial assets and collecting usage and status data in industrial factory,
maintenance and logistics environments.
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) – Winner of the IoT Solutions World Congress Testbed
Award and the IIC Testbed Showcase, the TSN Testbed brings a number of enhancements
to Ethernet (a foundational piece of IoT) – time synchronization, sending scheduled traffic
flows and central, automated system configuration.
Communication and Control for Microgrid Applications – Examines IoT technologies that
solve engineering challenges associated with energy microgrids while focusing on open
architectures and interoperability.
INFINITE – Provides an interoperable infrastructure to test solutions and drive the
development of IIoT products. INFINITE’s anchor use case, “Bluelight,” seeks to enable
intelligent route planning for emergency ambulance services as they are dispatched to an
incident and en-route to the hospital.
Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance – Demonstrates the value of
continuously monitoring industrial equipment to detect early signs of performance
degradation or failure.
Manufacturing Quality Management – Retrofitting existing manufacturing facilities with
modern technologies by leveraging the IoT and sensory network technologies for data
collection, transmission and intelligent storage to support an effective data processing
scheme.
Smart Factory Web – Creating a network of smart factories to improve order fulfillment
by aligning capacity across production sites with flexible adaptation of production
capabilities and sharing of resources, assets and inventory.
Our October report is the first of many, as our many testbeds continue to report results. To

New Liaison Members
The Liaison Working Group continues to approve and pursue strategic technical relationships
with over 65 organizations including Avnu Alliance, ITAC, CAICT, ISO/IEC, IEEE, OASIS, OMG, SGIP
and many others. Recently established Liaison Members of the IIC include:
Avnu Alliance
Avnu Alliance (Avnu), is a community creating an interoperable ecosystem of low-latency,
time-synchronized, highly reliable networked devices using open standards. In working
together to help drive industry awareness surrounding the benefits of TSN Time Sensitive
Networking), Avnu and IIC hope to maximize industry interoperability between IIoT
