Abstract:

This paper examines the current status and

future potential of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

technology within Jordan. While global adoption of IIoT

is rapidly increasing, Jordanian industries, particularly

manufacturing, have been slow to integrate these technologies

into their production cycles. The paper identifies

key challenges hindering wider adoption, including

a lack of awareness regarding the benefits of IIoT,

limited digital infrastructure, and economic constraints.

Despite these challenges, some Jordanian companies,

particularly in regulated sectors like pharmaceuticals

and cosmetics, utilize IIoT for data collection to meet

compliance standards. This paper explores existing and

potential applications of IIoT in Jordan, analyzes the

challenges, and proposes strategies to promote wider

adoption and maximize its potential benefits for the

Jordanian economy.
