Frequently asked questions

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of objects that feature sensors, software and other technologies to exchange data with central systems over the Internet or other networks.

The industrial internet of things (IIoT) is the use of internet-connected devices, sensors and software to collect and analyze real-time data from industrial equipment and processes. These devices live at “the edge” (as opposed to in the data center) to collect and transmit data to the cloud for further processing. Because the devices are in physical proximity to what they are monitoring, this arrangement improves efficiency, productivity, security, and safety. The devices tend to be more sophisticated than consumer IoT devices, as they are used in mission-critical services.

With AI, industrial IoT systems are getting smarter and processing more data, so they require high performance, low power consumption and long-life memory and storage — all in a small footprint. Micron provides exactly this — a wide array of form factors, power, performance, capacity and lifecycle solutions.
