It is predicted that the unprecedented growth in IoT communications will accumulate to over 20 billion connected IoT devices, which will generate an estimated global annual revenue of US$8.9 trillion by the year 2020. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the subset of IoT that aims for connecting machines to other machines/data management among industrial applications. It emphasizes smart manufacturing, meaning the nonexistence of human intervention and the autonomous nature of machines, in order to improve operator productivity in production plants, improve the accuracy of warehouse management and inventory monitoring, reduce non-technical operations losses and enable smart product tracking.
Winmate, as the leading provider of industrial-grade computing solutions, is committed to closing the gap between the factory floor and the cloud. We have developed a comprehensive series of products for IIoT from IoT Gateways certified with Microsoft Azure/AWS IoT Greengrass that come with serial ports and digital I/O that allows the gateway to connect to different instrumentation, to HMIs, tablets and mobile rugged computers that have multiple connectivity options (GPS/WiFi/BT/4G LTE) to help incorporate IoT into your business. Here’s a scenario: your assets are equipped with sensors that continuously transmit data about their status to the IoT Gateway, which would filter and transmit the crucial data to the cloud server in real-time; meanwhile, your operator carrying a PDA or tablet can wirelessly access the most up-to-date information through the cloud server to analyze the operation on the move or take instant action to avoid further losses if any components appear to be faulty.
The IIoT implementation eliminates the need for human intervention, cuts the cost of operations over time, and even prevents human error which can sometimes be deadly if a factory uses hazardous materials. It can be as simple as just connecting devices with sensors and analyzing data to streamline complex processes, but meanwhile, it can be a big idea that will reinvent your company’s direction.
