The complexity of industrial systems has surpassed the human operator's ability to recognize and address efficiencies, making it difficult to achieve improvements by traditional means resulting in machines operating well below their capabilities. These factors alone are already operational incentives to apply new solutions.

The potential of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is vast, with opportunities spread across wide areas of productivity, such as logistics, aviation, transportation, health, energy production and distribution, oil and gas production and manufacturing, among many others. As a result, many use cases will cause industry executives to wake up and consider the possibilities of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). After all, the industry requires only a minimal change in productivity to generate huge revenue, an example is that even a 1% increase in productivity can produce huge revenue benefits, such as aviation fuel savings.

The difficulty until today was to materialize the solution to adjust to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and obtain these potential profits in an operation where IIOT is not its main business. Consultants typically focus on business models and operational efficiency, which is certainly attractive by demonstrating financial gains and new business models that are easily understood. Unfortunately, these presentations often impress and invigorate executives, who see the benefits of business, but fail to reveal the technical abstraction of the complexity of the lower layer that underpins the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Above-Net offers a full solution for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) called Bridgemeter IIoT, composed of hardware and software, offered as a service capable of meeting any data collection requirement for equipments, machines and controllers, and supporting the real-time decision with very low implementation cost.
