The UPM* sensor library includes support for a wide variety of industrial-grade sensors. This article provides a list of industrial sensors currently supported by the UPM library, as well as information about supported communications protocols. In the future, you'll be able to find examples of IoT projects that use industrial sensors like those featured in this article at: https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/reference-implementation.
For articles on reference implementations that include industrial sensors, see:
The following is a list of supported communications protocols and standards, both wired and wireless:
