Introduction Across the manufacturing floor, every second, machines vibrate, robotic arms rotate, conveyors move, and furnaces heat metals at precise temperatures. Each process generates hidden streams of data. Traditionally, this data was ignored, but with Industrial IoT (IIoT), manufacturers are connecting machines to networks, capturing this data, and turning it into intelligence that reduces downtime,

The Story Analogy: From the Farmer’s Market to the Cloud Imagine a farmer’s cooperative in Nagpur. Farmers wake up at dawn, pick vegetables, and load them onto trucks that travel 300 km to sell the produce at a central wholesale market. Now imagine if they had mini-markets in every village where data about vegetable prices

Introduction Industrial IoT (IIoT) security is among the most critical concerns in the rapidly evolving connected manufacturing and infrastructure landscape of 2025. IIoT integrates sensors, devices, and industrial equipment with cloud and edge platforms, creating powerful automation but also expansive attack surfaces. The repercussions of IIoT security breaches are severe, including production downtime, safety hazards,
Scene: Two IoT engineers, Ravi (20 years in embedded systems, pragmatic and detail-oriented) and Ananya (10 years in networking and cloud architecture, futuristic thinker), are sitting at CuriosityTech.in’s IoT Lab in Nagpur, guiding a group of young engineers. They’re discussing what transport and application-layer protocols make IoT devices “talk” effectively. Ravi: Defining Protocols Without the
