The tech landscape is changing fast, creating ideal conditions for IoT implementation. Now is the perfect time to integrate IoT into industrial processes to drive efficiency, boost profits and future-proof operations.
What Is IoT?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system where devices connect via sensors and software to exchange data over the internet. It allows for the monitoring and control of everyday objects such as thermostats, lights, doors, smart home appliances and vehicles.
These sensors collect data on factors like temperature, humidity, motion and location, using these insights for advanced operational monitoring. Operation managers can use IoT-enabled products to gain a full view of activity across entire buildings.
In the industrial door industry, IoT can monitor door activity, track operational statuses and even predict product malfunctions before they occur using predictive maintenance.
Why the Time Is Now
- IoT technology foundations have been set
IoT technology has advanced significantly, offering more reliable solutions than ever before. With breakthroughs in connectivity, the shift from 4G to 5G networks and advancements in sensors and data analytics, IoT systems are more widely accessible.
- Increased demand for streamlined operations
IoT-enabled devices offer operation managers a full view of activity across entire buildings, unlocking advanced levels of oversight. These real-time insights facilitate better decision-making and predictive maintenance, leading to increased productivity and reduced downtime.
- More affordable products
Thanks to these technological advancements, IoT products have become more affordable over time. Standardisation efforts and the development of IoT platforms have driven down costs and boosted production volumes. This may help manufacturers offer a more competitive price to consumers.
