In this presentation, Eberhard Wahl will delve into the crucial role of interoperability in driving the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) forward. The session will begin with an evaluation of the current state of standardization in IIoT topics and underscore its significance for achieving interoperability across diverse systems.

Drawing from real-world examples, Eberhard will showcase concrete case studies that highlight the pivotal role of interoperability within the IIoT landscape. Through these comparisons between traditional and modern applications, attendees will gain insights into the tangible benefits that interoperability brings to industrial operations. Furthermore, the presentation will initiate a discussion on the challenges and opportunities inherent in establishing interoperable IIoT solutions. By exploring these key considerations, participants will gain a deeper understanding in:

• Evaluating the current status of standardization of IIoT topics and their importance for interoperability.
• Concrete case studies that illustrate the importance of interoperability in the IIoT landscape, including comparisons between traditional and modern applications.
• The challenges and opportunities related to the establishment of interoperable IIoT solutions and their impact on the industry.
