IIoT – IoT for Industry

Many industries and sectors are increasingly incorporating IoT applications. Among all the branches where the Internet of Things (IoT) can be implemented, industry – or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – has the most applications. For example, intelligent production lines already exist, with machines operating autonomously and monitoring themselves. However, the benefits of IIoT are also evident in logistics. Intelligent robots move pallets from one place to another, and products can be equipped with sensors. For example, packages can be tracked from door to door. Of course, for all of this to work, these devices need to be connected to the internet. As a connectivity specialist, Comgate supplies all the SIM cards needed to make this possible. In addition, we can provide all the required hardware through our partner Capestone.

Quality Control

Production lines can be converted into intelligent systems through the use of advanced equipment equipped with sensors. Thanks to these sensors, the manufacturing line can be automatically monitored to ensure quality; If the temperature falls below the standards, the system can be stopped immediately.

Automated remote team management

Smart equipment can collect data and transmit it anywhere in the world via the internet. For example, extensive production lines can be monitored and managed remotely. In this way, one person or one team can maintain a real-time view of numerous devices and machines remotely.

Predictive maintenance

One of the main advantages of the IIoT is that teams can self-monitor using advanced sensors. For example, by analyzing vibrations, voltages, and temperatures, a system can employ predictive algorithms to determine when a machine stops operating optimally or requires maintenance. This means that fewer technicians are needed to perform regular inspections, thus optimizing maintenance and operation resources.

Asset Tracking and Tracing

IoT sensors in industry offer a detailed view of the health of individual assets. For example, real-time monitoring of product or raw material deliveries allows for more effective management. This is especially crucial for perishable or fragile stock.
