Industrial Internet Consortium

The Industrial Internet Consortium was founded by Intel, IBM, GE, Cisco and AT&T in 2014.

This consortium aims to set the architectural framework for industrial IoT by coordinating various ecosystem initiatives to connect objects using common architectures, interoperability and open standards – making it easier to adopt interconnected machines and intelligent analytics.

Over the years, the IIC has unveiled up to nine test beds for real-world applications, such as the Track and Trace test bed, which helps manage handheld power tools in manufacturing environments, and the Edge Intelligence test bed, which aims to accelerate the development of edge architectures and algorithms.

Who It Impacts: Solution providers and systems integrators that want to build Internet of Things practices in the industrial space.
