Industrial IoT market intelligence
Sensor networks, IIoT platforms, digital twins, and connected infrastructure.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the connective tissue of modern infrastructure — embedding sensors, connectivity, and intelligence into physical assets across energy generation, transmission, manufacturing, water systems, and industrial processes. IIoT enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, process optimization, and autonomous operation of the critical infrastructure assets Delphidata covers.
In the energy and infrastructure sectors specifically, IIoT adoption is accelerating across several domains: condition monitoring of wind turbines, solar inverters, and grid assets; remote operation of offshore platforms and unmanned facilities; smart metering and demand response in district heating and electricity networks; digital twin modeling of complex facilities like hydrogen plants, refineries, and desalination systems; and predictive maintenance of rotating equipment including gas turbines, compressors, and pumps.
The IIoT value chain spans edge sensors and field devices, connectivity infrastructure (cellular, LoRaWAN, satellite), edge computing and gateways, cloud-based IIoT platforms, and application-layer software for analytics, visualization, and AI-driven decision support. Major platform providers include Siemens (MindSphere/Insights Hub), GE Vernova (Predix), ABB (ABB Ability), Honeywell (Forge), PTC (ThingWorx), and Microsoft/AWS/Google cloud IoT services.
Delphidata tracks IIoT deployments across the infrastructure sectors we cover — where connected systems are changing how assets are designed, built, operated, and maintained. Coverage includes platform adoption, major sensor and device manufacturers, digital twin projects, and the cybersecurity frameworks protecting connected industrial infrastructure.
