Top 4 IoT Trends That Drive Smart Manufacturing

Oct 11, 2017

Internet of Things (IoT) is set to transform the way the manufacturing industry operates and functions. Smart manufacturing or advanced manufacturing technology is driving the companies to transform the competitive market landscape. Thus, making it inevitable for the companies to adopt smart manufacturing and seize the benefits it has to offer. Smart manufacturing coupled with IoT enabled devices is an aIR_Brochuremalgamation of information, human interface, and technology that helps evolve and develop every aspect of the business. IoT is an interconnected network of devices driven by connectivity and software that has brought the fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0.

Trend 1: Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)

IIoT is the process of using IoT enabled devices and integrating it within the manufacturing processes on the factory floors leading to an increase in production efficiency, product quality, and speed. Purely built on connectivity, IIoT enables people and facilitates business processes to collect vast amounts of data and leverage advanced analytics to gain insights.

Trend 2: Cloud-Computing Technology

With the help of cloud computing coupled with IIoT, companies can reap the benefit of sharing important and critical information in real-time. The data shared from beacons and sensors help organizations to anticipate needs and predict trends, obtain required inventory details, and minimize turnaround time for machines as well as the suppliers and manufacturers.

Trend 3: Artificial Intelligence

Thanks to big data, vast amounts of information is available to the organizations, which can be leveraged to gain consumer insights, predict trends, and foresee market developments. With the help of machine learning, artificial intelligence helps organizations understand patterns, anticipate information, and track incongruities, which helps them to refine processes, enhance productivity, and adopt smart manufacturing techniques.

Trend 4: Smart Sensors and Beacons

The organizations can benefit with the help of IoT enabled sensors that will help them to record, generate, and understand information right from packaging to the core machine elements. Besides these, the IoT enabled sensors help the manufacturing industry to measure and track everything, right from volume to temperature; thereby, creating seamless information flow to facilitate automation and drive smart manufacturing.
