Industrial IOT
Connect devices in your factory with each other thanks to Industrial IOT
You've probably heard about the Internet of Things (IOT), the technology that connects different devices to each other over a network. There is a variant of this technology applied to factories: the industrial IOT, a solution that you should implement as soon as possible to simplify your production process.
A representative example of home IoT (home automation) could be a refrigerator capable of sending the shopping list to your mobile phone based on the stock of refrigerated products. If you let your imagination run wild, the applications of the Internet of Things in industry multiply exponentially.
IIOT, solutions for industries and factories that know how to anticipate their needs
The Industrial IOT (known as IIOT) has two main functional layers: the physical devices you want to connect and the software that will do so, usually implemented under a modular structure in the cloud.
Imagine that your factory is a village with ten houses (the devices) connected to each other by one or more roads (the software). Not all roads could be built in the same way, and this could depend on the terrain, safety, how many people per day will pass through each road, and so on.
The synchronisation of these devices and modules in the industrial sector has a single goal: to increase energy efficiency, productivity, internal processes and, of course, economic profit.
Advantages of implementing the Industrial Internet of Things
Efficiency
Your productivity will increase, because connected machines generate data for continuous improvement of performance and processes.
Anticipation
Analysis of this data will provide you with information that will enable you to identify problems and their causes in advance.
Innovation
The IOT implemented in factories opens the door to future improvements by being built on a modular software architecture in the cloud.
Immediacy
Actions are displayed in real time, end-to-end, and you will always know where you are in the process.
Centralisation
The IOT data visualisation focuses on a system that centralises all the actions, increasing the traceability of the production process.
Profitability
The main value proposition of the Industrial Internet of Things is that you save in your process, thanks to the optimisation of resources.
Some concepts that appear in our IOT solutions for industry
Cyber-physical system (CPS)
The cyber-physical system is the core element of IIOT: the system that centralises the devices and supports the network structure that connects them.
Cloud computing
The cloud computing seeks simplicity in communication between machines and equipment integrated in the cloud, accessible anywhere.
Edge computing
The edge computing provides a system for storing data where it is needed, to facilitate immediate access to data.
Big data
Big data is the cross-data macrostructure to generate new responses based on the behaviour of industrial equipment.
Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence, and more specifically, machine learning optimises communication between teams with greater precision.
“Industry 4.0 IoT communicates your equipment with each other, providing answers and helping you make the best decisions for your factory.”.
Examples of tasks that you can perform with the IOT platforms we use and implement
Create a system of sensors that detect thermal changes and communicate with the cooling system to raise or lower the temperature.
Remotely access all data and make decisions based on the recommendations provided by big data.
Improving the automated delivery of materials between the docks and the warehouse, machine to machine (M2M).
Identify the main reasons for downtime in your factory and perform operator monitoring.
