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.
