AIoT: the Perfect Union Between the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence

Imagine Industrial IoT as the nervous system of a company: it is a network of sensors that collects valuable information from all corners of a production plant and stores it in a repository for data analysis and exploitation. This network is necessary to measure and obtain data in order to make informed decisions. We always talk about making good decisions based on reliable information, but although it may sound obvious, it is not always that easy to achieve that goal. In this article, we will go a bit beyond IoT and will focus on the data and how to leverage it with AIoT and data analytics. We'll be discussing specifically the analysis phase, the process that turns data first into information and then into knowledge (sometimes also referred to as business logic). In the end, however, we won't stray far from the core subject of IoT, because for us IoT without Big Data is meaningless.
