Abstract
The implementation of the IoT in the industry promotes the automation of production processes in addition to the reduction of operating costs. However, its implementation is not a trivial task because it is necessary to evaluate the integration potential, analyze the different processes where its implementation is viable, seeking the most significant impact, in addition to minimizing existing technological barriers such as providing computer equipment to the industry in addition to the interconnection of devices and machines without neglecting data security in this highly connected environment. The data collected by the different devices must be able to be visualized through indicators of interest, considering these environments as intelligent environments. This chapter seeks to generate a more assimilated theoretical notion about the development and implementation of the internet of things in the industry to help the adaptation of this type of technology in their production processes and services in public or private organizations.
