IIoT Technology Stack
8
SaaS applicationsProvide cloud alternative for COTS applications and related services (CRM, HR, collaboration)
AnalyticsOperates on digital models using advanced data science to expose key insights – patterns, trends, anomalies
Industrial cloudStores subset of OT data in digital models to support advanced analytics
IT data centerManages on-premise industrial applications (COTS) and data that support business operations (ERP, APM)
OT data centerManages all assets, systems, and production processes that drive core industrial operations
Visual app buildersProvide tools for building IIoT apps that operationalize analytic insights and drive targeted outcomes

Visualization – Page Layout & Editing
13
Copyright 2017 Edge2Web, Inc.
Drag & drop visual components
Simple, responsive page layouts
Cell- and page-level refresh intervals:this is IMPORTANT!
Visualization – Display Component Wizards
14
Copyright 2017 Edge2Web, Inc.
IIoT tools should simplify the creation of data-connected display components that can be extended and polished using other visual editors.
Visualization – Flow, Menu & WYSIWYG Editing
15
Copyright 2017 Edge2Web, Inc.
WYSIWYG editors provide intuitive interfaces for non-programmers to stylize display components and bring industrial data to life.
Flow editors provide an intuitive view of your data’s journey from its sources to your visual displays. CRITICAL for interactive web apps!
Menu editors allow you to easily add navigation to display screens. CRITICAL for interactive web apps!

The usual caveats:1. Demos often fall over – this one may too2. E2W software is under development and
may appear unpolished in some places (we’re working on that!)
Summary
▪ Industrial IoT will enable transformative changes
▪ Industrial clouds (MindSphere) provide the bedrock
ꟷ Massive data collection and storage (volume and velocity)ꟷ Advanced analytics
ꟷ Commercial applications
▪ You also need visual app builder solutions to drive strategic initiatives and outcomes
