The document discusses the benefits of moving Industrial IoT functions to the edge through edge computing. This "edgification" of IIoT can improve efficiency, security, and optimization by reducing bandwidth usage and latency, operating offline on private networks, and combining IIoT with AI processing at the edge. A specific use case is presented of using an AAEON gateway and LoRaWAN sensors to monitor hot water pipes over a private network for predictive maintenance without replacing existing infrastructure.

3. The “Edgification” of IIoT
• More efficiency:
• Reduce unplanned downtime
• Improve work safety
• Improve assets performances
• Easier retrofit
• Cheaper and more robust network:
• Reduce bandwidth usage
• Overcome network latency problem
• Mitigate network outage issues
• Reduce the risk of losing predictive maintenance and process
optimization functions
Focus • Agility • Competitiveness

4. The “Edgification” of IIoT
• More security
• Operate offline into a private and closed network
• Select and Secure data before sending them out (Local authentication
and cryptography)
• Optimization of the solution:
• Multiple features in one box
• Multiple technologies
• Multiple Software solutions
• Combine IIoT and AI in one box
Focus • Agility • Competitiveness

5. IIoT Edge Cloud benefits
• Able of advanced on-device processing beyond the data
storage, buffering and communication
• Real time operations/reactions into perimeter network allows to
dynamically apply tactical decisions and modification into the
process
• Availability first and immediate analysis of massive amount of
data, which grows with the grow of available sensing solutions
• Artificial intelligent and machine learning functions at the edge
