Industrial Internet Consortium

MissionIIC is a global, member supported, organization that promotes the accelerated growth of the Industrial Internet of Things by coordinating ecosystem initiatives to securely connect, control and integrate assets and systems of assets with people, processes and data using common architectures, interoperability and open standards to deliver transformational business and societal outcomes across industries and public infrastructure.

Launched in March 2014 by five companies:

The IIC Liaison Working Group evaluates potential formal agreements with other organizations.

We are an open membership organization and we work collaboratively on an informal basis with many other organizations, including Industrie 4.0.

The IIC and Standards Organizations

The IIC is not a standards organization. We evaluate and organize existing standards to:• Advocate for open standard technologies, and• Influence the global standards development

Collaboration within the Industrial Internet Consortium

IIC Working Groups have individual charters, inter-related outcomes both within the Working Groups and with external organizations.

December 23, 2016

Technology Working Group

Charter: To define and develop common architectures, by selecting from standards available to all, from open, neutral, international, consensus organizations and reviewing relevant technologies that comprise the ecosystems that will make the industrial internet work.

The Technology WG presently has 14 teams:

10

• Architecture Task Group• Intelligent and Resilient Controls• Reference Architecture Editing Contributing Group • Connectivity Task Group• Distributed Data Management & Interoperability Group• Industrial Analytics Task Group • Dynamic Composition & Coordination

• Innovation Task Group • IT & OT Task Group • Liaison Task Group • Standards & Interoperability Task Group • Safety Task Group • Verticals Taxonomy • Vocabulary Task Group

December 23, 2016

Charter: To accelerate the creation of testbeds for the Industrial Internet.

Current Priorities:• Assist members in identifying, defining and gaining approval for their testbeds • Identify and communicate funding resources for IIC testbeds• Provide processes and infrastructure for efficient & effective operations

What is a Testbed? What are they used for?

• A testbed is a controlled experimentation platform, conforming to an IIC reference architecture, where solutions can be deployed and tested in an environment that resembles real-world conditions.

• Testbeds explore untested technologies or existing technologies working together in an untested manner.

• Testbeds can generate requirements and priorities for standards organizations.• Testbeds’ ultimate purpose is to culminate in innovative new products and

services and methodologies.

Industrial Internet Reference Architecture

• First major deliverable by the IIC Technology Working Group• 110-page document published and released to public July 2015, Version 2 Underway

• Goal: To align the industry to a common end-to-end Industry IoT reference architecture with clearly defined constituent components and interfaces between them so that:

• Vendors can deliver interchangeable IoT components that are interoperative with those provided by other venders;

• Customers can use the reference architecture as a blueprint, based on which to build and/or select technologies and solutions from venders for their IoT implementation.

• Requirements addressed:• Concise and comprehensive description of the end-to-end IoT architecture for the industrial internet industry space

• Clear definition of constituent components and interfaces between the components

• High-level functional requirements for each of the components

• Identification of existing or to be developed technologies for these components

• Inspired and validated by core use cases

• Implemented and tested in an IIC testbed16
