System Competitiveness of the Industrial Internet of Things

Abstract

The article considers a new paradigm of competition, the essence of which is a combination of competition with cooperation within the framework of the interaction of ecosystems of the industrial Internet of Things. The conditions under which this cooperation is most effective are determined. The information and intellectual interaction of industrial Internet of Things ecosystems through the exchange of their services is considered. Important conditions: specialization of services of industrial Internet of Things ecosystems and the intensity of their exchange of services. The result is the generation of many business models, creating an explosion of opportunities to increase the value of the economy of the industrial Internet of Things. The task of selecting the most promising effective business models from the set of obtained business models is not trivial, the use of which ultimately gives a high competitiveness of the ecosystems involved in the exchange of services. However, no one has canceled economical, technically advanced solutions and competitive solutions at all levels of the functioning of the industrial Internet of Things system, that is, at the levels of sensors, gateways, business agents, server programs, databases of dynamic data generated by sensors, executive devices. The article offers competitive solutions for all levels of the industrial Internet of Things system, the architecture of the industrial Internet of Things ecosystem is developed. The possibilities of the system related to the connection of people to the system of the industrial Internet of Things and to the transition to the “Internet of Everything” (Internet of everything or IoE) are considered. The Internet of everything significantly increases the set of optimal business models that increase the value of a particular product.
