October 18, 2018 – The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) announced the IIC Resource Hub – an interface to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) industry resources developed by the IIC, and a web-based tool called IIoT Project Explorer that guides users through the analysis and planning of their own IIoT projects. The IIC Resource Hub references IIC resources including knowledge and expertise from IIC foundational documents, testbed insights, toolkits, demos and relationships with global standards and industry groups, and also provides actionable intelligence. It is designed for use across industries and among technical and business stakeholders in the IIoT.
The IIC Resource Hub comprises the following:
- IIC Body of Knowledge: This includes collaborative resources that have been developed, tested and published by industry leaders from the IIC membership, including: testbed overviews and outcomes, Insight Reports, IIC foundational documents (Industrial Internet Reference Architecture, Industrial Internet Security Framework, Industrial Internet Connectivity Framework, Business Strategy and Innovation Framework, Industrial Internet of Things Analytics Framework, and Vocabulary Technical Report), and select white papers.
- The IIoT Project Explorer: This is a web-based methodology for creating an assessment of an IoT project.
- Ecosystem Directory:This is a mapping of the IIoT ecosystem that categorizes IIoT products, services, researchers and end users, making experts searchable by their expertise.
The IIoT Project Explorer enables users to scope a solution and create a mutual basis for communication between technical and business project stakeholders.
It also directs a quantitative method for developing implementation, rollout and growth plans.
Other Explorers, under development as web-based toolkits will provide assistance with maturity modeling, security assessment and interoperability challenges.
The IIC Resource Hub is an essential tool helping IIoT stakeholders strategize, analyze and plan IIoT projects.
