December 18, 2018 – The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and the OpenFog Consortium (OpenFog) announced that they have agreed in principle to combine the two international consortia in Industrial IoT, fog and edge computing.The move will bring OpenFog members into the IIC organization at a time when their complementary areas of technology are emerging in the mainstream.  

2018年12月18日消息——工业互联网联盟(IIC)和OpenFog联盟(开放雾联盟，OpenFog)宣布原则上同意合并工业物联网、雾和边缘计算领域的两个国际联盟。此举将使OpenFog成员进入IIC组织，成为该主流技术领域的一个补充。

The combined memberships will continue to drive the momentum of the Industrial Internet including the development and promotion of industry guidance and best practices for fog and edge computing.The organizations expect the details to be finalized in early 2019.

合并后的会员将继续推动工业互联网的发展，包括开发和推广雾和边缘计算的行业指南和最佳实践。两组织预计细节将于2019年初敲定。

“This is great news for the industry. Both organizations have been advancing the IIoT, fog and edge computing, and their members represent the best and the brightest in their fields.It makes sense to merge their expertise and work streams to continue providing the IIoT, fog and edge guidance that the industry needs,”said Christian Renaud, Research Vice President,Internet of Things,451 Research.

“这对业界来说是个好消息。两个组织都在推进IIoT、雾和边缘计算，他们的成员代表了各自领域中最优秀和最聪明的人。整合他们的专业知识和工作流程以继续提供行业所需的IIoT、雾和边缘指导是有意义的。”451 Research物联网研究副总裁Christian Renaud说道。
