Discover the Internet of Things and How To Enter the Smart Factory Revolution
Connect an everyday object that has an on/off switch—a watch, a coffeepot, a thermostat—to the Internet, and you have the Internet of Things. These things can be many. Small and large items are game, from individual tools to large helicopter engine parts.
Sensors and integration code (APIs) allow objects to share data about the way they are used and the environment around them. Objects that are tagged, marked, or labeled relate to connections with surrounding objects and database information. Sensor and wireless technologies, including RFID, IUID, and QR codes are examples of tech that blossomed with the birth of IoT.
Think of a world where almost any physical object is connected via the internet to create one expansive information network, and you have the definition of IoT in a nutshell.
There are numerous devices available today that connect devices, appliances, and more for consumer use using modern Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
How Can the Internet of Things Benefit Business?
Track and locate parts, equipment, tools, assets, work orders, vehicles, and more simply by viewing them on a software map of your facility. Find items for audits quickly, avoiding wasting valuable hours in search for them.
Determine when tracked items leave your building, car lot, or shipyard. Monitor temperature and movement thresholds for environmentally sensitive chemicals in storage.
Follow a work order throughout your factory floor from initial creation through completion. Monitor where it gets hung-up to improve processes at each step.
Foresee when potential problems will happen. Step in to perform preventative maintenance instead of expensive and time-consuming after-the-fact repairs.
Learn from the information generated from IoT systems to improve productivity. With compatible IoT software, disparate data collected from different sources is readily analyzed.
Wherever you can take the internet, you can oversee your operations. Receive alarms for unauthorized movement and environmental thresholds, and chart historical data, to make critical decisions from your smartphone, tablet, and laptop.
This IoT technology is young, and businesses are coming up with innovative ways to solve workflow headaches to fit their specific needs:
✓ Update your business model to create new revenue
Add on new services, without overhauling your present operations, according to real-time sensor data findings.
✓ Automate processes to conserve resources while optimizing supply chains
Put your business and manufacturing operations on “remote control.”
✓ Develop a more productive workforce using the latest technology
Increase job satisfaction by automating the most routine tasks. Place communications on the fast track. Improve decision-making capabilities with better analytical tools.
✓ Improve customer satisfaction with state-of-the-art automation
Create a better experience for your valued customers with on-time delivery of personalized, enhanced products.
The Internet of Things is the spark that ignited the development of Industry 4.0 and the advent of the Smart Factory.
Join the Smart Factory Revolution
Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution, takes manufacturing automation to an amazing new level of elevated production efficiency. Affix objects with sensors, such as RFID tags. Computers and networks closely monitor specific data from these tags to give you the freedom to make better decisions, improve processes, boost productivity, and elevate profits.
The blend of computational and physical systems is at the heart of Smart Factory processes, With the advent of Industry 4.0, adapt processes for customized optimization, effectively running the way you envision your business for optimum performance.
