According to statistics, the number of Internet of things connections in China has reached 1.6 billion, which is expected to exceed 7 billion in 2020, and the market scale will reach 2.5 trillion yuan, so the development potential of the Internet of things is huge.

At present, the Internet of things has been applied in many fields, among which the industrial field has attracted much attention.

Industrial Internet of things (iiot) is one of the representative applications of Internet of things. It is the application of Internet of things technology in manufacturing industry. In general, the industrial Internet of things (IOT) makes use of integrated technologies such as sensor data, machine to machine communication and automation technology. The use of these technologies makes industrial Internet of things have great potential in product quality control, product variety management, supply chain traceability and overall supply chain efficiency.

According to the prediction and analysis report on market demand and investment in the application field of Internet of things industry issued by forward looking Industry Research Institute, the demand scale of domestic Internet of things in industrial field was 126 billion yuan in 2014, 180.4 billion yuan in 2016, and 235.4 billion yuan in 2017.

From this point of view, the domestic industrial Internet of things demand continues to rise, and there are great opportunities for future development. Especially in the current trend of Internet of things, the scale of industrial Internet of things market will be further expanded.

At the same time, with the introduction of the corresponding national policies, the continuous improvement of industry standards and the assiduous research of scientific research personnel, the industrial Internet of things will continue its good development momentum and inject more vitality into China's economic development.

However, the industrial Internet of things is facing a broad prospect of development, but also faces many problems to be solved.

First, the security of the system. When the enterprise's IT system is connected with the Internet, the potential network Trojan horse and virus may threaten the enterprise's data and information security.

Second, the coordination operation in the manufacturing process. When the Internet of things technology is applied to the industrial field, how to coordinate the man-machine, warehouse storage, logistics transportation and other relations is very important for efficient production.

Third, the upgrading of infrastructure. Whether the equipment system of industrial communication and digital chemical plant can keep up with the actual demand will affect the production progress to a certain extent. Only with the coordinated operation of various resources and equipment can the industrial Internet of things greatly promote the development of productivity.

Facing many opportunities and challenges, the Internet of things technology into the traditional industry has become a trend.

The advanced technology of Internet of things and the spirit of innovation are promoting the reform of China's industrial field. Under the promotion of advanced industrial Internet of things technology, the whole industrial Internet of things industry will appear new production mode, sales mode and transportation mode. The emergence of these new modes will have a huge impact on the traditional industrial mode. The upgrading of industrial structure of industrial Internet of things will promote the development of industrial production towards intelligent, efficient and service-oriented, and promote a new round of industrial upgrading and technological revolution.

With the comprehensive application of various technologies, the industrial Internet of things will gradually realize the great stride from the traditional mode to the intelligent direction, showing a different face and achieving new development results!
