IOT TECHNOLOGY

BACKGROUND

With Internet Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) rapidly converging, the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more prevalent in our daily lives. IoT has seen a massive increase in adoption over the past 5 years and is one of the top technology trends of our current times. It allows organisations to connect to almost any asset, be it indoor or outdoor, and in remote locations, which empowers them to monitor and control almost anything from anywhere, at any time. IoT is a technology that truly enables companies to achieve Real-Time Operational Excellence and in-so-doing experience higher levels of profitability. 

​

WHAT IS IoT

The term "IoT" refers to the collective network of connected assets and the technology that facilitates communication between these assets and a cloud platform, as well as between the assets themselves. What this means is that more and more "things", such as manufacturing equipment, vehicles, people, temperature sensors, motion sensors, GPS devices, panic buttons, tamper sensors, power, and water meters, etc. are becoming connected via various communication networks (such as LoRa WAN, Sigfox, MB-IoT, etc.). This provides the much-needed data and related insights on our phones, tablets, and laptops in "real-time" to enable businesses and individuals to make better and quicker decisions and exert more control over their operational environment. 

​

WHEN TO CONSIDER IoT

If you're looking for better data-driven insights to manage your operational assets more effectively and efficiently, then you may want to consider investigating how IoT can facilitate this. This is particularly relevant when these assets are in remote locations, or constantly on the move.

Real-time and accurate tracking, tracing and monitoring of the health of your key operational assets to optimise asset utilisation, maximise uptime, reliability and ultimately, optimise your asset investment. 

​

Examples of operational applications for IoT technology:

​

  1. Realtime monitoring & control of critical operational assets in Manufacturing, Smart Buildings, or Mining - Connecting to a critical asset to provide a real-time digital twin to monitor key metrics and control the asset remotely.

  2. Indoor & Outdoor Vehicle Tracking - Real-time, highly accurate tracking of vehicles and staff, whether they are indoor or outdoor, to ensure optimal fleet and asset management.

  3. Real-time monitoring of fridge and vending machine temperatures in retail - Install a temperature sensor into all fridges and vending machines to alert if the temperature exceeds a pre-defined range. 

  4. Remote reading of water and power meters in smart cities - Many cities are now leveraging IoT to be able to remotely monitor, and in some cases enable/disable, water and power meters for all its residents and businesses.
