**5.2 IIoT vibration demonstration station**

With this vibration station the main purpose was to communicate the benefits of IIoT also known as "Industrial Internet of Things". At the time of development in 2016 this was a very new concept and so we thought we would showcase how it can be used in practice. Our system had a variety of components, starting with of course the mechanical/electrical but the bigger focus really was on the software front. In terms of software the system could be broken down into 3 major components, a frontend dashboard, a communications service for message passage, a data processing model to predict faults in the system.
