Industrial IoT applications - IoT (Industrial Internet or Industry 4.0) - are expected to deliver gains in the efficiency and speed of capturing and accessing huge data sources.
The 5 most popular and effective industrial IoT applications
With the development of 4.0 technology, IoT is one of the standout applications, powerfully supporting automation in every business's management and production. Let's look at the 5 most notable applications below!
Application 1: Remote automated equipment management and monitoring
One of the standout applications of IoT in automated industrial management is enabling a central system to control and monitor all of a company's processes. The ability to control equipment remotely through technical software and machinery means people can control objects and plants in different geographical locations.
Industrial IoT applications
This lets companies monitor production progress in real time while analyzing the historical data they collect on production processes. IoT supports process improvement and creates an environment where information-based decisions take priority.
Application 2: Supply chain optimization
Among the industrial IoT applications aimed at greater efficiency is the ability to have real-time information on the state of a company's supply chain.
This makes it possible to spot various hidden opportunities for improvement or pinpoint problems hindering processes and making them inefficient or unprofitable.
Application 3: Physical asset monitoring
Some of the most common and important applications of industrial IoT are monitoring and managing physical assets, together with predictive maintenance.
Controlling performance and optimizing asset operation, including monitoring and tracking from location to parameters in areas such as quality, performance, potential damage or breakdowns, bottlenecks…. IoT also helps improve equipment maintenance with a new method: predictive maintenance.
The SmartBiz production asset management and maintenance solution integrates IoT on production assets with a superior ERP platform to digitize business processes
For example, Maersk used sensors and data analytics applications to report and locate empty containers, managing existing assets and optimizing supply chain operations. The ERP platform is in high demand among businesses.
Application 4: Quality control
IoT applications can monitor the quality of products at any stage: from the raw materials used in the process to how they are transported (through smart tracking applications) and end customers' reactions when the product is received.
This information is very important when studying a company's performance and making necessary changes when defects are found, to optimize processes and detect problems in the production line in time. It has also proven essential for preventing risks in more sophisticated industries such as pharmaceuticals or food.
Other applications
Beyond these applications, RTI and several partners have in practice applied IoT technology to microgrid innovation, creating innovative technology that divides the power grid into a series of independently manageable microgrids.
Some applications of IoT
British-Australian mining group Rio Tinto launched an autonomous mining initiative in Western Australia with deep iron ore reserves. North Star BlueScope Steel has applied wearables in helmets and wristbands, helping managers monitor worker safety and detect dangerous situations before incidents occur.
