Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is focused on optimization of industrial working in several fields including assembly lines, manufacturing processes and production of any kind, including agriculture. As the equipment and system are data intensive and largely dependent on wireless transmission of data from the interface point of the primary sensing element to where it is going to be utilised, adding cognitive capabilities to the radio system involved can add benefits of optimal utilisation of the frequency spectrum and faster transmission of critical process data. IIoT also offers advanced functionalities such as preventive maintenance, asset tracking and better optimized resources in the operation and control of industrial processes for manufacturing, production, or processing. This chapter focuses on the evolution of the sensors and process control equipment from traditional versions to those being used today for IIoT.
