IIOT: In addition to reducing costs, every company seeks to make its production efficient. Industrial automation has been a reality for a long time and is essential for business.
However, with IIoT ( Industrial Internet of Things ) technology, it is possible to go much further. Through various devices, sensors, and applications, it is possible to connect, collect and transmit data that, in addition to controlling machines, provide data that support management decisions.
To let you know how this industrial revolution can be applied to your business — and how it can be beneficial — follow this article!
What Is It?
The world is experiencing a digital transformation, and the industrial internet of things is part of it. Its purpose is to connect various devices to collect and transmit data. Four essential variables exist for this communication: the devices, the communication between the devices, the data, and the data analysis.
The idea is the same as the Internet of Things used for domestic appliances. However, in the case of the IIoT, the connection is between industrial machines, legacy systems, and other devices related to the world of production. In addition to product manufacturing, it can be applied in facility management, supply chain monitoring, healthcare, and retail sectors.
What Are The Benefits Of This Technology?
For the industry, the use of this technology can provide numerous benefits. So, understand what they are below!
Through IIoT technology, the industry makes better use of its assets, resulting in a reduction in operating costs and a gain in productivity.
An example is the savings with preventive maintenance. With sensors, for example, it is possible to identify equipment failures, machine downtime, etc. This data makes it possible to predict critical situations and respond quickly to avoid further damage.
New Services And Businesses
With the growth of the IIoT, new opportunities for services and businesses that use web-based business models arise. Thus, solutions such as PaaS ( Platform as a Service ), IaaS ( Infrastructure as a Service ), or systems such as EDI ( Electronic Data Interchange ) have their data communication more efficient with the use of this technology.
Another example is companies that can use this technology to invest in providing products as services. In this way, the manufacturer delivers a machine to the customer and offers the remote support service (which already exists but is greatly facilitated by the IIoT). In addition, the cost of equipment can be very high, while the amount paid for its use is much more viable for the customer.
Assistance For Decision Making
Another benefit of using IIoT is that it helps in making strategic decisions. The constant monitoring of data in real-time results in a set of analyzes that makes possible a real perception of the production process. As a result, the company can analyze this data to reduce costs and waste.
What Changes In The Industry With IIoT?
The use of IIoT means a new industrial revolution, which is also called Industry 4.0. See below some of the changes it represents.
With this technology, the production process is differentiated — that is, there is greater communication between what is produced and the machine. This way, there is a gain in the product’s final quality since any inconsistencies can be detected during the production process.
Inventory control is also more efficient with sensors, which can verify the need to replace parts. Thus, in addition to accurate inventories, processes, and savings are streamlining, both in employee time when controlling inventory and in avoiding waste due to unnecessary purchases.
The Industrial Internet of Things came to renew the production process. This is a worldwide trend, and companies participating in it will be one step ahead of their competition.
"Kulingana na utafiti wa ""Mfumo wa Uendeshaji wa Biashara,"" kampuni zote zinahitaji kuimarisha ufanisi wa uzalishaji." Uendeshaji wa viwanda umekuwa ukweli kwa muda mrefu na ni muhimu kwa biashara. Hata hivyo, kwa teknolojia ya IIoT (Internet ya Viwanda ya Vitu), inawezekana kwenda zaidi. Kupitia vifaa mbalimbali, sensorer, na maombi, inawezekana kuunganisha, kukusanya na kusambaza data ambayo, pamoja na kudhibiti mashine, kutoa data ambayo kusaidia maamuzi ya usimamizi. Ili kukujulisha jinsi mapinduzi haya ya viwanda yanaweza kutumika kwa biashara yako <unk> na jinsi inaweza kuwa na faida <unk> fuata makala hii! Ni Nini? Ulimwengu unakabiliwa na mabadiliko ya dijiti, na mtandao wa viwanda wa vitu ni sehemu yake. Kusudi lake ni kuunganisha vifaa mbalimbali ili kukusanya na kupitisha data. Vitu vinne muhimu vipo kwa ajili ya mawasiliano haya: vifaa, mawasiliano kati ya vifaa, data, na uchambuzi wa data. Wazo ni sawa na Internet ya Mambo kutumika kwa ajili ya vifaa vya nyumbani. Hata hivyo, katika kesi ya IIoT, uhusiano ni kati ya mashine za viwanda, mifumo ya urithi, na vifaa vingine vinavyohusiana na ulimwengu wa uzalishaji. Mbali na utengenezaji wa bidhaa, inaweza kutumika katika usimamizi wa kituo, ufuatiliaji wa mlolongo wa usambazaji, huduma za afya, na sekta za rejareja. Ni Faida Zipi za Teknolojia Hii? Kwa ajili ya sekta hiyo, matumizi ya teknolojia hii inaweza kutoa faida nyingi. Kwa hiyo, ujue ni nini kilicho hapa chini! Kwa kutumia teknolojia ya IIoT, sekta hiyo hutumia vizuri mali zake, na kusababisha kupunguzwa kwa gharama za uendeshaji na faida katika uzalishaji. Mfano ni akiba na matengenezo ya kuzuia. Kwa mfano, kwa kutumia sensorer, inawezekana kutambua kasoro za vifaa, wakati wa mashine, na kadhalika. Takwimu hizo hufanya iwezekane kutabiri hali mbaya na kukabiliana haraka ili kuepuka uharibifu zaidi. Kwa kuongezeka kwa IIoT, fursa mpya za huduma na biashara zinazotumia mifano ya biashara ya mtandao zinatokea. Kwa hivyo, suluhisho kama vile PaaS (Platform kama Huduma), IaaS (Miundombinu kama Huduma) au mifumo kama EDI (Mabadiliko ya Takwimu za Elektroniki) zina mawasiliano yao ya data kwa ufanisi zaidi kwa kutumia teknolojia hii. Mfano mwingine ni makampuni ambayo yanaweza kutumia teknolojia hii kuwekeza katika kutoa bidhaa kama huduma. Kwa njia hii, mtengenezaji hutoa mashine kwa mteja na hutoa huduma ya msaada wa mbali (ambayo tayari ipo lakini ni rahisi sana na IIoT). Kwa kuongezea, gharama ya vifaa inaweza kuwa kubwa sana, wakati kiasi kilicholipwa kwa matumizi yake ni rahisi zaidi kwa mteja. Msaada wa Kufanya Uamuzi Faida nyingine ya kutumia IIoT ni kwamba inasaidia katika kufanya maamuzi ya kimkakati. Ufuatiliaji wa mara kwa mara wa data katika muda halisi husababisha seti ya uchambuzi ambayo inafanya iwezekanavyo utambuzi halisi wa mchakato wa uzalishaji. Matokeo yake, kampuni inaweza kuchambua data hii ili kupunguza gharama na taka. Mabadiliko gani katika Sekta na IIoT? "Kutumia teknolojia ya IoT kunaweza kuunda ""mageuzi ya viwanda"" ambayo pia huitwa ""Viwanda 4.0.""" Ona hapa chini baadhi ya mabadiliko ambayo huwakilisha. Kwa teknolojia hii, mchakato wa uzalishaji ni tofauti <unk> ambayo ni, kuna mawasiliano zaidi kati ya kile kinachozalishwa na mashine. Kwa njia hii, kuna faida katika ubora wa mwisho wa bidhaa kwani kutofautiana yoyote kunaweza kugunduliwa wakati wa mchakato wa uzalishaji. Udhibiti wa hesabu pia ni ufanisi zaidi na sensorer, ambayo inaweza kuthibitisha haja ya kubadilisha sehemu. Kwa hivyo, pamoja na hesabu sahihi, michakato na akiba zinafanya kazi kwa urahisi, wakati wa wafanyikazi wakati wa kudhibiti hesabu na katika kuepuka taka kutokana na ununuzi usio wa lazima. Mtandao wa Viwanda wa Vitu ulikuja kurekebisha mchakato wa uzalishaji. Hii ni mwelekeo wa ulimwengu, na makampuni yanayoshiriki katika hilo yatakuwa hatua moja mbele ya ushindani wao.
