What is Industrial IoT?
We are in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, that is, the industrial 4.0 era, also known as the Industrial Internet of Things. The IIoT uses intelligent sensors and actuators to enhance manufacturing and industrial processes. The IoT is a key supporting technology in the industry 4.0 project. It improves the manufacturing industry and realizes industrial automation through information and communication technology. The ultimate goal is intelligent factory, intelligent production and intelligent logistics. IIoT is a combination of hardware, software and services.
The production line machines and equipment of modern industrial manufacturing lines are equipped with thousands of small sensors to detect temperature, pressure, thermal energy, vibration and noise. At the same time, the machine and devices can be connected with other network devices supporting synchronization through RF-star embedded modules (such as BLE module, Wi-Fi module, Sub-1G module, etc.). This connectivity makes it possible to collect, analyze and exchange a large amount of valuable data, and also brings faster speed, higher efficiency and higher insight to industrial enterprises.
Asset tracking is another advantage of IIoT. Manufacturers and customers can manage assets according to real-time data and track the location, status and conditions of products in the whole supply chain. If the goods are damaged or at risk, the system sends an immediate alarm, and then there will be the opportunity to take immediate or preventive measures to correct the situation. RF star's wireless communication solutions can provide data acquisition and transmission after the sensor data is triggered automatically.
