              Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
              The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the application of IoT in industries to improve efficiency,
              productivity and safety. IIoT integrates smart sensors, big data and analytics into industrial operations,
              enabling real-time decision-making and process optimisation. By leveraging IIoT, industries can reduce
              costs, enhance operational transparency, and ensure better compliance with safety and environmental
              standards.

              Applications of IIoT

              Some key applications of IIoT include:
                Smart manufacturing: Predictive maintenance and process automation improve operational efficiency.
                 For  example,  sensors embedded  in  machinery  can  detect  wear  and  tear,  notifying  technicians  before
                 breakdown occurs, thereby minimising downtime.
                Healthcare: Smart medical devices monitor patients in real-time, improving outcomes. For example,
                 connected insulin pumps and heart monitors provide continuous data to healthcare providers, ensuring
                 timely interventions.

                Energy management: Power grids in India are adopting IIoT to optimise energy distribution and detect
                 faults. Smart meters and renewable energy systems use IIoT for seamless integration and better energy
                 management.
