Difference between IIOT and IOT

1. Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) :
It is network of smart devices that has its own computing capability, which are connected to form systems that collect, monitor, exchange and analyze data at industrial level. The main focus of the IIOT is specifically on industrial applications such as manufacturing, power plants, agriculture, oil & gas.

Industrial Internet of Things is a part or we can say a subset of the Internet of Things, i.e., IIOT comes under IOT, which mainly focuses on industrial applications. Intelligent devices plays an important role in IIOT which helps in communicating important information in a better way and also to analyze and capture data in real time. Using IIOT, business decisions can be made faster and more accurately and it also helps to grow companies by understanding their business process in a more better way so that their processes become more efficient.

2. Internet of Things (IOT) :
It is all about connecting devices that have their own unique identities, as well as network & are connected to the Internet, embedded with sensors, electronics, & software which allow it to collect & exchange data over the Internet without any human interaction.

Main goal of IOT is to convert a dumb device that has no processing capabilities, into a smarter device that has its own computing capability so that they can exchange data over the internet and also allowing the device to communicate real-time data without involving a human being. Using IOT you can connect objects which you use in your daily life, such as thermostats, irrigation pumps, kitchen appliances, television to the internet. Example, A light bulb that can be switched ON using a smartphone application is an IoT device.
