Internet of Things (IoT) enables the conversation even between inanimate objects. Sensors and intelligence-based objects or smart devices offer seamless inter-connectedness in a business landscape that was simply unthinkable earlier. As the IoT infrastructure continues to mature with powerful sensors and embedded technology devices and internet connectivity becomes cheaper by the day, enterprises are building smarter ecosystems using IoT solutions.
Supply chain monitoring
Perishables such as pharmaceuticals, fast-moving consumer goods, sea food, etc., need optimal temperature and pressure while in transit. IoT solutions enable you to cost-effectively monitor as well as maintain the required environmental parameters along with the timeliness of the cargo’s journey.
Diesel Generator (DG) set monitoring
IoT enables you to remotely monitor the functioning of DG sets. This includes anything and everything, such as fuel in the DG, oil level, ambient conditions, etc. It also helps monitor the electricity output or any overdrawing of power, by miscreants through ulterior means, and take timely action. GPS modules also allow the DG fleet tracking in real-time. One of the modern examples of such tracking is Samsara’s asset tracking system.
Heavy equipment monitoring
Sensors and embedded technology solutions continuously monitor the performance of the equipment. The solutions are amalgamated with state-of-the-art, interactive visualization solutions while displaying fuel consumption, wear-n-tear, geo-fence violations, idle time, etc., enabling quick resolutions.
Electrical equipment monitoring
IoT sensors embedded on huge electricity transformers sense objects in the vicinity and approaching hoodlums for power theft. In case of irregular power drain, the GSM module alerts the vigilance department. The modules are pre-programmed to loudly convey the emergency messages to the designated officers even on mobiles in silent mode as well as capture and email photographs.
Railway track monitoring
GSM modules and IoT sensors track wear-n-tear of railway tracks in real-time. They proficiently conduct health checks of the railway infrastructure towards predictive maintenance thus saving huge sums of money.
In summary
IoT solutions are enabling smarter ecosystems by the day. They improve operational productivity, reduce costs, and improve the overall functioning of the value chain.
