Industrial M2M
Industrial Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication refers to the direct interaction between devices using any communications channel, including wired and wireless. In an industrial context, M2M communication enables networked machines to exchange information and perform tasks without the manual assistance of humans. It is a fundamental part of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), where it drives operational efficiency and productivity. M2M systems might involve anything from a sensor monitoring environmental conditions to a router transmitting data in real-time to a centralized monitoring system.
