The primary goal of IoT in industrial automation is to increase productivity and efficiency by optimizing processes, reducing downtime, and improving overall performance.

IoT in industrial automation is designed to reduce downtime by enabling predictive maintenance and remote monitoring. Increased downtime is not a benefit of IoT.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the integration of IoT devices, sensors, and systems with industrial automation systems to improve efficiency, productivity, and decision-making.

Energy management is not a common IoT application in industrial automation. Common IoT applications include predictive maintenance, remote monitoring and control, and asset tracking and management.

The main challenge in implementing IoT solutions in industrial automation is the lack of a skilled workforce with expertise in IoT technologies, data analytics, and industrial automation systems.

Retail stores using IoT beacons to track customer behavior is not a real-world example of IoT in industrial automation. Industrial automation focuses on manufacturing and industrial processes.

Edge computing in IoT applications for industrial automation is used to process data locally and reduce latency, enabling real-time decision-making and control.

HTTP is not a common IoT protocol used in industrial automation. Common IoT protocols include MQTT, OPC UA, and Zigbee.

Data acquisition refers to the use of IoT sensors and devices to collect data from physical assets and processes for further analysis and decision-making.

SAP Leonardo is not a common IoT platform used in industrial automation. Common IoT platforms include Microsoft Azure IoT, Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT, and Google Cloud IoT.

Data-driven decision-making refers to the use of IoT data to improve decision-making and optimize processes in industrial automation by analyzing data patterns and trends.

Data privacy issues are not a common security concern associated with IoT in industrial automation. Common security concerns include unauthorized access to sensitive data, malware and cyberattacks, and device vulnerabilities.

Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication refers to the ability of IoT devices to communicate with each other and exchange data without human intervention.

Controlling energy distribution is not a common application of IoT in industrial automation for energy management. Common applications include monitoring energy consumption, optimizing energy usage, and predicting energy demand.

Condition monitoring refers to the use of IoT sensors and devices to monitor the health and performance of industrial assets to detect potential issues and prevent breakdowns.
