In the last few years, Industrial Information Integration Engineering (IIIE) has attracted much attention by the information and communications technology (ICT) community. However, despite of the dynamic nature of this research area, a systematic and extensive review of recent research on IIIE is unavailable. Accordingly, this study conducts an intensive literature review on IIIE and presents an overview of IIIE's content, scope and findings, and potential research opportunities by examining existing literatures from 2006 to 2015 in all databases within Web of Science. Altogether, 497 papers related to IIIE are grouped into 37 research categories and reviewed. The results add knowledge to the existing ones by answering what the current level of development on IIIE is and what the potential future research directions of IIIE are.
