Manufacturing Operations, Freight Monitoring, and Smart Buildings within the Internet of Things industry
Overall, the Internet of
Things industry is already experiencing an exciting curve with strong opportunities across many industries,
with immediate and residual benefits for
end consumers and for businesses of all sizes.
The technology that includes hardware, software, sensors and
services is now impacting industry segments such as Manufacturing Operations, Freight Monitoring, and Smart Buildings.
One can then
recall that,
- Manufacturing Operations supports digitally-executed manufacturing, or how manufacturers use intelligent and interconnected I/O (input output) tools; e.g. sensors, actuators, drives, vision/video equipment etc. , to enable the different components in the manufacturing field; e.g. machine tools, robots, conveyor belts etc., to autonomously exchange information, trigger actions and control each other independently.
- Freight Monitoring uses radio frequency identification (RFID), global positioning system (GPS), GPRS, and GIS technologies to create an intelligent, Internet-connected transportation system. This system carries out the intelligent recognition, location, tracking and monitoring of freight and cargo through exchanging information and real-time communications via wireless, satellite or other channels.
