IIC Reveals Broad-Ranging Resource Hub for IIoT

The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) revealed a new, broad-ranging hub of resources developed for the industrial IoT, called the IIC Resource Hub.

The new interface was unveiled at the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona this week.

The IIC Resource Hub includes access to a wide body of IIC knowledge, a project explorer, and an ecosystem directory.

“There is nothing like the IIC Resource Hub on the market now,” said Dirk Slama, Vice President of Business Development, Bosch Software Innovations and Chair of the IIC Steering Committee. “Members of the IIC have developed these essential resources for the industry so project managers and system architects don’t have to rely solely on intuition and prototyping in unchartered territory as they do today.”

The IIC Body of Knowledge 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, and select whitepapers. It’s designed for use across industries, and among technical and business stakeholders in the IIoT.

The web-based tool, IIoT Project Explorer, guides users through the analysis and planning of their own IIoT projects. It 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.

The Ecosystem Directory is a mapping of the IIoT ecosystem that categorizes IIoT products, services, researchers and end users, and allows experts to be searchable by their area of expertise.
