Industrial Internet of Things is becoming one of the fundamental technologies with the potential to be widely used in shipyards as in other industries to increase information visibility. This article aims to analyze how to develop an industrial IoT-enabled system that provides visibility and tracking of assets at SEDEF Shipyard, which is in the digital transformation process. The research made use of data from previous studies and by using content analysis, the findings were discussed. Industrial IoT enables the collection and analysis of data for more informed decisions.  Based on the findings, sensor data in the shipyard are transmitted to the cloud via connected networks. These data are analysed and combined with other information and presented to the stakeholders. Industrial IoT enables this data flow and monitors processes remotely and gives the ability to quickly change plans as needed. Keywords: Shipyard, Industrial Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical System, Visibility, Assets tracking;

Scientific research and innovation management practice have emphasised the important role of individual competencies in meeting the challenges of the digital transformation. However, it still lacks empirical studies that strive to determine how certain competencies of employees might affect the success of the digital transformation itself. In order to empirically determine the individual contribution of specific employee competencies to a successful digital transformation in terms of a high Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) usage performance, a quantitative study among German component manufacturers of the capital goods industry was conducted. Drawing upon a sample of 284 employees, our results reveal that high developed cognitive and processual competencies of individuals promote the digital transformation processes of a firm. Surprisingly, social competencies have only a little influence. Furthermore, our findings also confirmed that a high IIoT usage performance is beneficial for a firm, significantly enhancing divisional success.

Introduction. Industry 4.0 is a concept that is considered a new phase in the Industrial Revolution, closely related to the application of information technologies and the digital transformation of manufacturing. The main purpose is to be created a more holistic and more connected ecosystem, focused on supply chain management in industrial companies. Implementation of solutions in Industry 4.0 is mostly related to the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). Mass deployment of this type of technology in industrial enterprises is the basis of the so-called Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Achieving interoperability in the IIoT requires the combination of two technologies: the Internet of Things and the Internet of People. Aim and tasks. This article describes the implementation of the concept of the Internet of Things in industrial enterprises, as a key technology factor for developing Industry 4.0. Results. A brief overview of the evolution of industrial production - from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution to the emergence of Industry 4.0 is made. The main principles for implementing Industry 4.0 solutions ensure that the entire production process is computerized. Industry 4.0 solutions are mostly associated with the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) whose definition and essence are obtained in this article. Based on the various concepts of the IoT are presented solutions that can be used in the industry, namely: in consumer devices in technology used in public organizations in infrastructure applications in industrial applications, also called the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Therefore, we can say that there is a significant potential for improving production processes as regards: optimization of operations, forecasting equipment support, inventory optimization, improving workers' security, shipping chain optimization, etc. Conclusions. The application of the Internet of Things in enterprises is an important and decisive step in the process of their digital transformation and transition to Industry 4.0. The interaction between humans and machines, carried out through Internet technologies, leads to the emergence of the Internet of Everything, which will be a basic concept in industrial production in the coming years. However, the role of man in the production process should not be completely eliminated, but solutions should be sought that support and intellectualize his work.

Shipyards often face unique challenges, as the construction of ships takes months or even years to complete. As in any sector, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) also affects the shipbuilding sector. With this digital transformation, it aims to meet the challenges of shipbuilding more personalized ships with shorter delivery times, greater flexibility, and higher quality. Therefore, this study aims to review IIoT technologies that will perform the digital transformation in the shipyard. In this study, an analysis of the digital transformation for the shipyard industry of Turkey in general was made and more specifically focused on how to implement IIoT for Sedef Shipbuilding Inc., which is one of the leading shipbuilding companies in Turkey. This study contributes to digital transformation technologies that can be applied in shipyards by providing analysis of existing reference frames for IIoT technologies in shipyard digital transformation.

The new industrial revolution Industry 4.0, connecting manufacturing process with digital technologies that can communicate, analyze, and use information for intelligent decision making includes Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to help manufactures and consumers for efficient controlling and monitoring. This work presents the design and implementation of an IIoT ecosystem for smart factories. The design is based on Siemens Simatic IoT2040, an intelligent industrial gateway that is connected to modbus sensors publishing data onto Network Platform for Internet of Everything (NETPIE). The design demonstrates the capabilities of Simatic IoT2040 by taking Python, Node-Red, and Mosca into account that works simultaneously on the device.

Произведен обзор технологий в рамках концепции четвертой промышленной революции, рассмотрены примеры реализации новых моделей управления технологическими процессами на базе промышленного интернета вещей. Описано техническое устройство основных подсистем системы мониторинга и контроля, служащей для повышения осведомленности о фактическом состоянии производственных ресурсов в особенности станков и аддитивного оборудования в режиме реального времени. Архитектура предлагаемой системы состоит из устройства сбора данных (УСД), реализующего быстрый и эффективный сбор данных от станков и шлюза, передающего ликвидную часть информации в облачное хранилище для дальнейшей обработки и анализа. Передача данных выполняется на двух уровнях: локально в цехе, с использованием беспроводной сенсорной сети (WSN) на базе стека протоколов ZigBee от устройства сбора данных к шлюзам и от шлюзов в облако с использованием интернет-протоколов. Разработан алгоритм инициализации протоколов связи между устройством сбора данных и шлюзом, а также алгоритм выявления неисправностей в сети. Расчет фактического времени обработки станочных подсистем позволяет более эффективно планировать профилактическое обслуживание вместо того, чтобы выполнять задачи обслуживания в фиксированные интервалы без учета времени использования оборудования We carried out a review of technologies within the framework of the concept of the fourth industrial revolution; we considered examples of the implementation of new models of process control based on the industrial Internet of things. We described the technical structure of the main subsystems of the monitoring and control system to increase awareness of the actual state of production resources in particular machine tools and additive equipment in real time. The architecture of the proposed system consists of a data acquisition device (DAD) that implements fast and efficient data collection from machines and a gateway that transfers the liquid part of information to the cloud storage for further processing and analysis. We carried out the data transmission at two levels, locally in the workshop, using a wireless sensor network (WSN) based on ZigBee protocol stack from the data acquisition device to the gateways and from the gateways to the cloud using Internet protocols. An algorithm was developed for initializing communication protocols between a data acquisition device and a gateway, as well as an algorithm for detecting network malfunctions. Calculating the actual machining time of machine subsystems allows us to more efficiently scheduling preventive maintenance rather than performing maintenance tasks at fixed intervals without considering equipment usage
