Industrial IoT (IIoT) & Sensor Data Basics

This is the foundational smart-factory skill every digital-manufacturing roadmap depends on. Participants learn how industrial IoT is architected, where data is processed (edge vs cloud), how sensor data is collected and transported, and build a simple live dashboard with real readings during the hands-on session.

Aimed at plant engineers, maintenance staff and operations managers who need to make sense of industrial sensor data rather than build the systems that collect it. The course covers sensor types and what each can and cannot tell you, sampling rates, connectivity options and industrial protocols, edge versus cloud processing, and the data quality problems that make downstream analysis unreliable. Security is covered as an integral topic rather than an appendix, since connecting operational technology to a network changes its risk profile substantially. Participants finish able to specify what an IIoT deployment on their own line would need.

Programme Modules

01

IIoT Architecture

Sensors, gateways, networks, platforms and applications. How a smart-factory data flow is structured from the machine to the dashboard.

02

Edge vs Cloud Data

What to process at the edge and what to send to the cloud. Bandwidth, latency and cost trade-offs, and where inference should happen.

03

Sensor Data Collection

Protocols (MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus), data formats and sampling. Practical collection from a demo sensor set without writing firmware.

04

Hands-on Dashboard

Participants connect a live data feed to a dashboard, visualise trends and set simple thresholds, the same pattern used on a real factory floor.

Key Outcomes

  • Describe a complete IIoT data architecture
  • Decide what belongs at the edge vs the cloud
  • Collect sensor data over common industrial protocols
  • Build a working live dashboard
  • Spot data-quality issues before they reach reports

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Industrial IoT (IIoT) & Sensor Data Basics is HRD Corp SBL-Khas claimable. Employers registered with HRD Corp (PSMB) can claim the training fee against their levy, as Orbix Tech Sdn Bhd is an HRD Corp certified training provider. Submit the SBL-Khas application before the session date.

Industrial IoT (IIoT) & Sensor Data Basics runs for 1 day, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It is delivered as an in-house closed group session, so the schedule can be adjusted to fit your team's working hours.

Yes. Delivery options are physical, online, hybrid, e-learning. In-house sessions run at your premises anywhere in Malaysia, online sessions run live over video conference, and hybrid combines both for teams split across sites.

None, Orbix own course. Delivered as an HRD Corp claimable workshop with an Orbix certificate of completion. Each certificate carries a certificate number that can be checked at orbixtech.my/certificate-verify.

Level: Beginner to Intermediate. The session is built around worked examples and group exercises rather than theory, so participants apply the material to their own organisation during the session.

Half-day and full-day sessions are quoted per session for a closed group, from RM 800 and RM 1,750 respectively. Advanced 2-day programmes are quoted per participant, from RM 4,000. All figures are before any HRD Corp levy claim.
