IIoT architectures
Distributed edge nodes, each reading a few sensors and doing one small job, feeding one central system. The value is the large-scale live picture that many small nodes add up to.

The IIoT shape: many distributed Remote Instances, each reading just a few sensors and doing one small job, publish to a central Team Broker. One central app subscribes and sees every node at once. Each node is small — the value is the large-scale live picture they add up to. Think water-quality monitoring across dozens of pump stations.

Lots of small, spread-out measurement points that only pay off when aggregated into one live view.
