The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) announced immediate release of the Industrial Internet Reference Architecture. This document provides a common language for the elements of Industrial Internet systems and the relationships between them. This common language helps developers decide which elements they need for their systems, enabling faster delivery of implementations. The announcement was made at the Industrial Internet Berlin Forum.
The Industrial Internet Reference Architecture helps place existing and emerging standards into a common structure, making it easier to quickly identify gaps that need to be filled to ensure interoperability between components.
The Reference Architecture document outlines key characteristics of Industrial Internet systems, various viewpoints that must be considered before deploying an Industrial Internet solution, and an analysis of key concerns for the Industrial Internet including security and privacy, interoperability, and connectivity.
The Industrial Internet Reference Architecture is available for complementary download at www.iiconsortium.org/iira .
