Today I wanted to share about 2 major industries that uses the IoT to reduce risk and even enhance their system to improve productivity.

Vehicles

This industry uses mostly machines and computer systems which could be one of the targeted industry by hackers as machines and computer systems are hackable. To be ready for the risks of data penetration, they apply the uses of IoT devices to enable data connections which  allow motor companies to remotely update software and respond to real time mechanical issues which can cause by hackers.

Healthcare

In hospitals there are machines such as MRI scan and CT scan which are computerised machines that could be hackable. Even the hospital data stored in computers or the hospital systems can be hack by other people. So, the healthcare industry uses the implementation of IoT devices which could help to monitor the security of the system and the machines so that there would no error occurs while using the machine.

Truly, the implementation of IoT in the industry makes them more secure.

Is there any industry that you know that have implemented the uses of IoT? Share them in the comments section.

Importance of IoT to the industrial sector

# data[].attributes.body
Hi, now I would like to talk about the importance of IoT to the industrial sector.

The implementation of the IoT has been experimental as devices has evolved in the recent years. Now the current devices looks convincing to protect the industrial sector from risk and downtime.

This is because the new technologies are now implement the encryption and decryption features which helps to protect data.

Without further ado, I will explain about the importance of IoT.

Opening new possibilities and growth areas

The uses of IoT not only used to secure and protect the industrial sector in terms of data breach but also helps to improve the industrial sector by improving the style of work ranging from operations and services to engineering and product supply.

Allow quality control of the industry

IoT sensors could help to collect product data and other third-party data from various stages of a product cycle which all of these inputs can later be analyzed to identify and correct quality issues.

Connects the factory directly to the computer digitally

IoT enabled machines and devices can transmit information to the original equipment manufacturers and to field engineers. This will enable operation managers and factory heads to remotely manage the factory units and take advantage of process automation and optimization.

There would be more but I want you to share with me other importance of IoT that you have found 😉

Data breaches and IoT network penetrations have become
almost common in every industry. Most IoT are only trained for reliability with poor securities. With the evolution of Internet is changing and new technologies can be implemented into the industry, can we still believe that IoT can be implemented into the industry? It seems that hackers and other people can misuse IoT to penetrate the security of the industry too.

During Black Hat 2016 which is an event that provide technical consulting for problems related to information security, it is found that 70% of IT experts agree that they are not ready to face the threats related to the IoT as severe consequences could happened if there are cyberattacks to a particular industry/company.

According to a study by Tripwire and Dimensional Research in 2017, it is found that 96% of experts state that they expect attacks on the IoT to rise next year.

This is because in the next years, as IoT devices such gadgets are increasingly turned into smart devices and as manufacturers roll out new products more quickly, little priority is given to security. Almost all devices connected to the Internet and goes towards data collection which is valuable to the industrial sector. And hackers out there can easily penetrate their security to collect important data just by the tip of their fingers.

During Mobile World Congress 2018, a new device that is rapidly emerging in the IoT sector which is drone can affect the security of the industrial sector. This is due to drone's versatile application and real-time data access which could cause data breach to various industrial sectors including agriculture, packaging delivery and even construction sector. The versatility of drones made hackers to manipulate system security while on air.

So the question is, is IoT can be implemented to secure the industrial sector?

Uses of IoT, helps industry to move from risk protection to risk prevention

# data[].attributes.body
Hello, now it is time for me to share what I have found about the use of IoT in the industry. The uses of IoT have contribute to the convenience of the industrial sector to store data and reduce human workforce.

Different industries are harnessing the power of IoT to reduce costs, improve operational processes as well as quality of customer services, but also changing the nature of risk!

Initially, the uses of IoT is implemented to the industrial sector to protect from the risk of data breach or security penetration from the outside. Now the industry are implementing the IoT to counter the hackers and data breach by using the IoT to prevent the risk which act as a second barrier to protect important data.

So which one? Risk or Reward?

I believe it is a reward. Because moving from risk protection to risk prevention makes the IoT more reliable as the security of the industrial sectior. This is because smart technologies data have the potential to dramatically reduce risks where these devices have real-time risk monitoring feature that could help to claim prevention.

So what do you think? Risk or Reward?

What are the advantages of industrial IoT and how do companies make it secure?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An ever growing increase in mobile technology has created a fast-paced society that is accustomed to information on-the-go and instant feedback

For companies in the manufacturing and logistics sectors, the new era of instant demands can be better met through more use of Industrial Internet of Things (IoT).

The Industrial Internet of Things involves the use of IoT technologies in manufacturing processes and across supply chains. Alongside data from devices and sensors, Industrial IoT strategies should incorporate machine learning and big data technology, harnessing that combination of existing sensor data, machine to machine (M2M) communication and automation technologies to provide more insight back to the business.

According to Industrial Analytics 2016/2017, 69% of decision makers see industrial analytics as an essential way of achieving goals and therefore has a considerate impact on a company's ecosystem.

>See also: Getting ready for the industrial internet of things

The potential of technology here is vast, with new advancements being developed all the time and at great speed. Companies must therefore consider how best to adopt Industrial IoT as part of an ongoing plan to benefit the business. In turn, this level of insight can contribute to future business decisions and levels of success.

What advantages does industrial IoT bring?

Manufacturing enterprises tend to have large volumes of industrial equipment, all of which needs maintaining. For existing deployments, Industrial IoT enables improvements in decisions around manufacturing processes based on availability of more accurate data. It can also be used to improve production quality and uptime, as the data gathered from devices and sensors on the network enables real-time and predictive maintenance across the estate.

The main idea behind Industrial IoT is that of making machines smarter and more efficient than humans at making decisions. This does rely on accurately, consistently capturing and communicating data. Companies within the market are now developing leading edge sensors which make highly accurate measurements. This data can be coupled with real-time analytics that can explain how well machines are performing.

Using machine learning, the system can be trained to spot potential patterns that would indicate a future failure; if the results are concerning they can can be investigated immediately. This information would previously take weeks to discover and rely on the availability of skilled professionals at every site; now, the use of real-time data can help those with the right skills monitor more machines in multiple places, making decisions on maintenance faster. In turn, the efficiency of manufacturing can speed up considerably.

>See also: The rise of IoT in industrial organisations

Alongside predictive maintenance, machine learning heavily lends itself to Industrial IoT around how to make improvements in performance. To make this work, companies need to make sense of all the data available, quantify it and provide insight into how best to proceed with their manufacturing processes given the information received. Overtime, machine learning can be used to demonstrate how to improve performance and provide faster results for the same level of investment.

In manufacturing, time is money. With the implementation of Industrial IoT strategies - from individual sensors through to the analytics and automation available - manufacturers can make better business decisions around overall efficiency and costs. Industrial IoT strategies also hold great potential for improvements around sustainable and green manufacturing practices, and supply chain traceability.

With the growth of companies in the "circular economy", where all elements from products through to packaging should be fully re-useable and recycled across the value chain, Industrial IoT implementations will be essential to tracking results.

Why security is crucial for Industrial IoT: The threats businesses should be aware of

Alongside implementing Industrial IoT systems to meet business needs, companies should be aware of the security implications too. Each Industrial IoT device that joins a network becomes a potential point of entry for attackers, so the need for a secure network couldn't be more critical as the amount of devices used continues to increase.

Attackers are getting more creative in how they try to access networks - security company Darktrace recently discovered that one malware group had tried to enter a casino network via an Internet-connect fish tank.

Anything with an IP connection should therefore be secured before being allowed on to the network. Each device should also have an upgrade and patching path, so that any flaws can be fixed.

>See also: 7 industries that will be radically changed by the IoT

When it comes to information technology versus operational technology, there is currently a lack of established best practices. However, it is worth using some of the standard operating procedures for IT security around Industrial IoT management systems as this approach provides a head start to securing networks. These management tools should be treated as though they are attack vectors in order to keep networks secure.

There are eight elements of security required at the edge of an Industrial IoT system, to ensure that the whole system remains protected against attack:

1. Authentication - anyone that requires access to a network needs to be authorised. Implementing an authentication strategy with role-based access control and auditing to track who is allowed to join the network, and when those accounts are used, is therefore an essential part of your IT infrastructure strategy.

2. Encryption - to have control over data being shared from devices back to the central application, encryption is required. However, this encryption should not affect the speed at which the data is processed adversely.

3. Transmission - the transport mechanism for getting data from devices from one device to another, or to central systems, should be considered. Will devices be on a wired company network, or will they be transmitting data over wireless networks? For logistics and supply chain companies, use of telecoms networks to track vehicles may be necessary. The method of transport whether wired or wireless needs to be secure and flexible to upgrade to latest communication protocols.

>See also: The Internet of Things: Success or bust?

4. Tamper protection - this step ensures that equipment is monitored and checked to see if it has been tampered with. This can be a combination of mechanical, hardware and software tamper detection.

5. Data storage - all data storage must be secure. Data is often being stored at the edge and can hold critical system data like operating software. Additionally, over the life cycle of equipment, memory expansion is very likely and needs to be implemented with no loss of security integrity. Similarly, the central set of data also needs protection, as it forms a critical business asset.

6. Over the air software upgrade - the lifespan of industrial equipment varies and often has to be updated. An Industrial IoT system needs to be able to do over-the-air updates in a secure way.

7. Segmentation - flat network structures are most commonly used in production environments and any flaw in a device can spread and effect the whole network. Segmentation is therefore used in operational technologies to keep the attack surfaces small and minimise this risk.

8. Multi-layering - Operational technologies can't be easily patched and so Industrial IoT often sits above the operational technologies network and is operated in a separate network layer; this then communicates with data aggregation and an analytics layer to secure a network. As additional sensors and gateways communicating to IT infrastructures outside the network become threats, security in layers such as this is used to protect the production environments.

As the breadth and depth of technology available increases, ensuring a secure Industrial IoT network is imperative.

5 ways the IoT must improve to achieve enterprise success

# data[].attributes.body
Hello everyone, so today i have found that there are many ways IoT must improve and solve if they want their industry successful. Some of you have known and some are not.

How exactly IoT must improve to develop the industry?

Security Holes

Everybody knows that security is the key of IoT's issues. According to Deloitte report, the function of more computing power and security features of embedded with new devices of IoT are helping to improve the IoT security situation. Furthermore, the function of new hardware leverages low power is to increase the applications and protocols of traditional cyber security.

Platform problems

Many vendors are now producing the IoT platforms is to make hardware, network and applications more easier than before. Moreover, the hardest part of crafting is building multivendor to complete the IoT implementations. But, the new vendor partnerships lead the ecosystem offer pre-integrated third-party technologies. However, to create turnkey IoT solutions, vendors are taking the issue is with vertical that combine sensors, devices, analytics, and other components.

Expensive, power-hungry networks

IoT gadgets require systems to speak with one another, but traditional WANs are too expensive and powerful. Moreover, many of low cost, low power wide-area networks cannot afford the expend of the connectivity and provide small battery.

Hard to analyze data

IoT gadgets can produce many data. If it's too often, most of the data will not be investigated and unused. Studying machine and vision of computer are mostly use in IoT because it is to analyze the data. The fucntion is too improve the IoT applications.

Latency

To introduce latency, it has to analyze the data in the cloud and it will make it hard to produce useful real time and bad performance in industry, enterprise and smart settings. The produce of analyze data from IoT's platform usually now not working in the cloud but for the edge of network.

If you think you know the problems facing the Internet of Things (IoT), a new Deloitte report, Five vectors of progress in the Internet of Things, offers a great chance to check your assumptions against the IoT experts.

Despite the fancy-pants "vectors of progress" language, the report's authors - David Schatsky, Jonathan Camhi, and Sourabh Bumb - basically lay out the IoT's chief technical challenges and then look at what's being done to address them. Some of the five are relatively well-known, but others may surprise you.

5 IoT challenges

Let's take a look at all five "vectors of progress," recast as the challenges they really are, and then get some insight from Schatsky, a Deloitte managing director and resident "trend sensor," on IoT's biggest opportunities.

1. Security holes

Everyone knows security is a key IoT issue, but according to the Deloitte report, new IoT devices with more computing power and embedded security features are helping to improve the IoT security situation. The new hardware leverages low-power microchips to better run traditional cybersecurity applications and protocols. IoT network security has also been a problem, but wider availability of IoT-specific cybersecurity solutions promises to help spot anomalies and potentially compromised devices.

2. Platform problems

Lack of standards and platforms has made developing and deploying complete IoT solutions more difficult than it should have been, but many vendors are now introducing IoT platforms designed to make it easier to integrate IoT hardware, networks, and applications. Building multivendor solutions has long been the hardest part of crafting complete IoT implementations, but new vendor partnerships are now leading to integrated ecosystems that include dozens of major vendors offering pre-integrated third-party technologies. Another way vendors are tackling the integration issue is with "vertical" integrations that combine sensors, devices, analytics, and other components to create turnkey IoT solutions.

3. Expensive, power-hungry networks

IoT devices need networks to communicate with each other, but traditional WANs are relatively expensive and power-hungry. In response, hundreds of low-cost, low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) are providing far cheaper connectivity and allowing even small battery-powered devices to last for years.

4. Hard-to-analyze data

IoT devices can generate a lot of data. Too often, though, much of that data goes unanalyzed and unused. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and computer vision "are increasingly being used to analyze IoT-generated data and automate operational decision-making," the report says. This promises to boost many IoT applications - including process optimization, predictive maintenance, dynamic routing and scheduling, and security - by revealing hidden patterns and enabling predictive maintenance.

5. Latency

Analyzing IoT data in the cloud can introduce latency, making it difficult to generate useful real-time alerts and degrading performance in industrial, enterprise, and smart city settings. In response, the report says, "Analysis of data generated from IoT devices is increasingly occurring not in the cloud but at the network 'edge,' physically close to where the data is generated - on local servers, micro data centers, or even on the device generating the data." Analyzing data at the edge can also help trim data transmission and storage costs.

What's the biggest IoT opportunity?

If Deloitte is right that progress is being made in addressing those five challenges, how will that affect the growth of the IoT?

Schatsky predicts that the enterprise/industrial segment of the IoT market would grow the fastest, capturing "slightly more than half of global IoT spending by 2020." He added that digital supply network (DSN) applications are likely to be one of the biggest beneficiaries, especially asset tracking, dynamic routing and scheduling, asset and process optimization, and "condition-based monitoring/predictive maintenance of capital assets," identifying problems before they occur.

To take advantage of these trends, though, Schatsky warns that "organizations should be focusing on IoT initiatives that create real business value ― not just connecting stuff for the sake of connecting stuff." Unfortunately, he adds, "many IoT initiatives end up being 'shiny' solutions in search of a problem, concepts that have popular appeal but don't deliver real-world value."

Hmm, sounds like an internet-connected toothbrush to me!

Compatibility and Data Integration

Nowadays, its hard to see the compatibility standard of tag stuff and monitoring equipment in international. A big of number that usually connect with a hundreds of companies that provide services. Today, it will make the condition be more worsen if some industries are having hundreds of standards.

Privacy concerns

Many devices that have connected and worry about privacy is increasing. If there is no data encryption, the privacy data that have been shared in the internet is cannot be maintained. This is why data encryption is needed because it will maintaining the data.

Threat to Security

Mostly, many people use internet make search or something and this is devices have connected with the internet and data. Hence, it will increase the threat to security. It can gives the hackers control the devices in manufacturing and it gives the industry produce not good quality of product.

Internet of Things is not just a fantasy anymore. We have started to realize its presence through some of the smart devices like LG smart things, Nest protect etc. The day is nigh when the computer from home will alert the user in the office about the expiry of the medicine or about the shopping you need to do for the weekend or maybe shop online itself for the user. No, we are not selling fallacies here! These are the massive possibilities of Internet of Things in our daily lives.

Millions of devices interconnected with each other and humongous amount data being circulated among the networks, Internet of Things can be considered as the next big revolution instigating radical changes and creating new paradigm. Connection between human and computers through digitally connected things is the Internet of Things. Data is the backbone of the system and these data vary significantly. The data may be in the form of simple numbers from a pressure sensor to very complex data from multiple streams.

Internet of Things (IoT) is experiencing the exponential growth and we are in that stage where we cannot speculate the point of advancement, because Internet of Things is loosely defined. There is a high possibility that a new smart device is made years after IoT has matured or maybe the day when it is launched. The impact of Internet of Things in our lives can be defined superficially with following advantages and disadvantages.

Internet of Things Advantages

Development activities are all focused on providing comforts to the people. What is a comfort? A coffee ready to be poured into your cup as soon as you wake up? A smart fridge that can order milk online whenever the pot is empty? A car that can drive by itself when activated on the night mode? Whatever the definition is, it all implies convenience in human lives. And with Internet of Things, works can be done more conveniently and with more comfort to the user.

Safety and Efficiency

Imagine working in a risky working environment, who would not like to avoid that? A smart device that can maximize the safety in such places would be everyone's choice. Efficiency is another factor which encourages use of Internet of Things for commercial as well as industrial purposes. For example, if the monotonous tasks can be automated such as in assembly lines, efficiency of the system will increase resulting in higher productivity and this will also drive higher worker satisfaction which will in turn increase the profit margins.

Assisted Decision Making

It will be easier to make better decisions when there are various insights provided by reliable data from different angles. The trends from the empirical data can be analyzed more properly with the help of Internet of Things, strong premises can be achieved and assumptions would be minimized - a data-backed analysis into business insight. No decision is difficult now! (this excludes your relationship decisions, but wait, everyone would love that! Come on, think-tanks, get us a device for that!!)

Reduced Time and Increased Revenues

Internet of Things provide improved response time, thus reducing the time taken to do any kind of job. The baseline is that with reduced time and increased efficiency, the revenue collection will be maximized with the introduction of IoT. This will also help create new business ideas and provide the 'X Factor' to the business which will help you gain a strategic advancement over the competitors. It seems every road from IoT leads to increased revenue.

Internet of Things Disadvantages

There are another side of IoT which is not full of pros. Here are some problems which we face while implementing IoT

Complexity

The system itself is a complex one. Consider a situation when there are two users in the house - wife and husband. Wife wakes up at 5. As soon as her alarms turns off, her coffee is made ready by the coffee maker. The husband had some urgent work to do so he wakes up at 5.04 without the alarm. Now for a cup of coffee, should he set his alarm again and turn it off or should he manually activate the coffee maker or should he type a message in his smart phone and send it to the coffee maker or should he go to the restaurant for a coffee? The system will be complex. Hence sometimes, avoiding such situation will be tough.

Compatibility and Data Integration

A huge number of interconnected devices and hundreds of service provider companies. Having hundreds of standards worsen the condition. As of now, it is not decided whether the devices would have single set of standards or these standards vary according to the service providers. Thus, questions are raised over the compatibility of the information obtained from various devices and their integration for completing a certain assigned task.

Privacy Concerns

Millions of devices interconnected and concerns over privacy increased more than ever. Data encryption is very much necessary for maintaining the privacy of the data that is shared over the internet. No one would like their colleagues in the office to know how much milk you consume or what time do you wake up.

Threat to Security

Almost every device connected over the internet and data about everything available in the system. Nightmare situation? Yes. So, with Internet of Things approaching nearer and nearer, the threat to security is realized increasingly. Consider a situation, when the milk in your refrigerator has finished and the refrigerator making an online shopping for the milk. The amount for the milk to be deducted from your bank account. You would not want the details of your bank account available that easily on the internet that easily. Would you? Every data and information freely available over the internet and hackers waiting for the loopholes. It's a lose-lose situation for you.
Conclusion:
With few threats that can be tackled efficiently, the benefits Internet of Things provides cannot be overlooked completely. This phase is the transitional phase for development of Internet of Things but the time is approaching when we will see IoT being an integral part of household as well as industrial activities.

Basically, there two different roles in manufacturing that can play by IoT. It can connect things to produce your product and machines be more good in terms of condition and quality. This is why sensor is the main role even it is in limited way. Furthermore, you can utilize the data that has been collected to make your product be more good. This is because it can gives you benefit to your customer and to develop your business by using that data. Last but not least, it can gives your more profit because a lot of people will asking more about your product.

The Role of IoT in Manufacturing. Retrieved from https://www.plex.com/blogs/iot-manufacturing-technology.html

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Internet of Things (IoT) has created quite the buzz in retail, service, and other industries. Not so much in manufacturing. The lack of excitement comes not because it isn't relevant, but rather because the concept of collecting massive volumes of data from manufacturing processes is not really new. Manufacturers have had sensors and automated data collection (ADC) devices operating on their plant floors for decades now. But that's also been the problem. The data never really got off the plant floor. All too often it simply sat out there, disconnected from other enterprise data, not reaching its full potential. It's time we start connecting all the dots. But of course you can't do that without the right technology.
The Role of IoT in Manufacturing

There are essentially two different roles that the IoT can play in manufacturing. It can connect the "things" that make your product-machines and equipment-to potentially make your manufacturing processes run more smoothly. This is the role sensors and ADC have traditionally played, although in a somewhat limited way. Or you can tap into data collected or generated by your products, making them "smart" products, hopefully using that data to benefit the customer and build your business. Manufacturers participating in our 2016 Mint Jutras Enterprise Solution Study are about equally divided on which of these brings the most value to their businesses (Figure 1).

Only 14 percent believe IoT is not applicable to their business. Perhaps these are highly labor-intensive manufacturers (think lots of assembly lines) making largely disposable or consumable products. Or perhaps some just don't recognize that IoT is already a reality, and that many manufacturers are deriving value from it today.

We dug a little deeper into the impact of IoT by also capturing what "things" are connected today, along with plans for connecting more (Table 1). Not surprisingly, production equipment is most likely to be connected today, along with mobile devices. The most common connections are used either to monitor production (e.g., sensing temperature or viscosity and creating an alert or even shutting down a line before product starts to stray out of spec) or to signal required maintenance.

Manufacturers are also connecting mobile devices, which could include bar code or radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers recording transactions on the plant floor or in a warehouse. Tablets are another popular mobile device for the plant floor as they're replacing the traditional clipboard carried by supervisors, connecting directly to enterprise applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Smart phones are also being used to provide an alert through text messages and/or emails. These are relatively simple connections, but provide a first step towards becoming a truly connected manufacturer.

Office equipment such as printers are easily connected via wireless networks. We see percentages start to fall slightly as we move to industrial products shipped to customer sites, but the most common use for this connection is for improved maintenance. This is slightly more common with industrial equipment (48 percent) than consumer durables and appliances (43 percent) even as consumer interest seems to lead (not follow) industrial demand. While automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) are quite common in large warehousing operations, they might be overkill for manufacturers with smaller warehouses. Yet safety light curtains, pressure-sensitive mats and laser scanners (often used on remotely operated vehicles (ROVs)) are all potential "things" to be connected in any manufacturer of any size.

But the value of connecting these "things" is oftentimes largely dependent on what they are connected to.

Most commonly, this data is used for business analytics, but how effectively it is mined for strategic insights and decision-making remains to be seen. Data is often used for tactical type of decisions made with the assistance of operational scheduling and management systems, as evidenced by those being a close second in terms of applications that are connected. Warehouse management systems are a specific type of these operational solutions and manufacturing execution system ( MES) often times extends deeper into the plant floor than your typical production/shop control functions of an ERP system.

The more these solutions are connected, the more data is available, not only to provide twenty-twenty hindsight into manufacturing operations, but to surface the data in real-time for decisions that can directly impact the quality and quantity of production. And connecting to asset performance and asset management can directly impact the efficiency and utilization of machines and equipment by optimizing maintenance.

Connecting to customer relationship management (CRM) and planning and forecasting solutions brings an added level of insight, intelligence, and intimacy with your customers that can have an immediate impact on your responsiveness to real, rather than assumed, customer needs. Finishing off with a link back to finance and accounting also provides insights into real and controllable costs.

Leverage the Cloud to its full advantage

Of course, in talking about IoT, we have to talk about cloud. Cloud refers to access to computing, software and storage of data over a network-generally the Internet-which is the vehicle by which we achieve this connectivity. The connections to the solutions listed in Table 2 are more easily leveraged when those applications also live in the cloud. It's not just about surfacing the data, but also adding tangible value that can be accessed anytime from anywhere, from a desktop, laptop or a mobile device of your choosing.

While we find software as a service (SaaS) the most popular choice of deployment options for future purchases of enterprise applications, obviously today we see most manufacturers running a mixture of cloud and non-cloud-based solutions. Amongst our participants, about 43 percent of business software implemented now is SaaS, but that percentage is predicted to grow steadily over the next few years, and is projected to be over 70 percent in 10 years. So movement to the cloud is inevitable and a must in order to fully connect your manufacturing enterprise. Putting it off only makes it harder to gain the immediate value from the IoT today. The sooner you have all the right pieces in place, the sooner you can connect all the dots.

industrial internet of things in manufacturing

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The Internet of Things (IoT) has created quite the buzz in retail, service, and other industries. Not so much in manufacturing. The lack of excitement comes not because it isn't relevant, but rather because the concept of collecting massive volumes of data from manufacturing processes is not really new.

# data[].attributes.body
In this 21st century, Internet plays a major role towards the industry. As IoT are being adapt by many other industry, here is another reason why IoT are important to the industrial sector. I would like to add on more reasons why IoT are important to the industrial sector.

Communications

First of all, as stated by Forbes Insights in their survey, "about half of the communications companies represented in the survey, 53%, either have IoT embedded into their processes or have it in key business areas". This shows that the usage or adoption of Iot into communications companies are increasing each and each year. This is because of by using IoT, it slightly would help the companies to learn more about human behavior. So, I strongly believe that IoT helps in communications.

Greater Energy Efficiency

As the Industry used IoT, the data revealed by IoT can deliver interesting insights, such as off-hour consumption, recommendations for optimizing production schedules and other opportunities for savings to the companies or industries. So, this would help the managers to solve the issues regarding energy consumption. As stated in Fathym article, "nearly 77 percentof companies reported obtaining energy consumption data from their monthly utility bills or energy monitoring tools, which both have limited points of data". From this, we surely know that the usage of IoT are very important for the companies.

Higher product quality

As we all know, all companies are focusing on the quality of the product. As using Iot, it would help the companies to enhance the quality of their product such as helping the performance of the employees.

As a conclusion, I would like to agree with Buqhari's opinion regarding the important of Iot to the Industrial Sector. As IoT would helps industries in communications and energy efficiency.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After a busy and productive week, you get an urgent call from a client on Friday afternoon. They have a rush job and need it completed by Monday morning. The manufacturing facility operates over the weekend, but you need to add an additional shift to meet the deadline, which is quickly done with a few phone calls. With all details finalized, the project moves forward at a rapid rate. Then something terrible happens.

A machine part breaks and works grinds to a screeching halt. The job is seriously delayed and the client is unhappy. And the manufacturing company is left asking, "What happened, and how can we do better next time?"

The Internet of Things is promising to make these types of scenarios obsolete. In the situation above, that part would never have broken because a few weeks prior, sensors would have alerted staff that it needed replacement. It would have been quickly ordered and replaced during off-peak hours, and downtime completely avoided. The result? The rush job would have continued on schedule and the client would have been thrilled, maybe even awarding the company additional work in the near future.

Results like these are the reason that manufacturing companies are taking a serious look at IoT. In fact, IoT has enabled manufacturers to experience a 28.5 percent average revenue increase, according to TATA Consultancy Services. But what exactly is IoT, and how does it work in the context of manufacturing?

Smart manufacturing is about harnessing the power of data and using analytics to run your facility better. Internet of Things technology can communicate what needs to be done at the exact moment of relevance. Manufacturing equipment can be fitted with sensors to collect data and better understand how machines are operating.

For example, let's say that you're maintaining an expensive and valuable piece of equipment. In the past, the process involved a few basic steps, including:

Measuring how frequently the machinery failed and using a preventive maintenance schedule that was slightly shorter than the average period of failure.

Waiting for the equipment to fail.

Fixing the equipment.

This process is not optimized because it's using historical instead of real-time data. Using IoT sensors that are strategically placed on the machines empowers companies with more information on equipment health than was previously possible. A large amount of data is collected, but equally important are the insights made available by that data. Now, managers can truly understand when equipment needs maintenance and replacement before urgent situations arise. Here are five important benefits of IoT for the manufacturing industry to consider.

1. Greater Energy Efficiency

Energy is one of the largest expenses for manufacturing firms. Bills arrive a couple of weeks before the end of the billing cycle and highlight all of the energy used for the entire factory. But the problem is, these bills detail total energy consumption, and there is no way to break down the bill to better understand where specific inefficiencies reside. Yet nearly of companies reported obtaining energy consumption data from their monthly utility bills or energy monitoring tools, which both have limited points of data.

IoT closes that gap, as it helps to collect and understand data right down to device level. Do you have a device that is underperforming? If so, the technology will pinpoint that device so you can figure out how to boost efficiency. In fact, every piece of machinery on the floor can be tracked and managers can gain granular visibility into energy consumption. Actionable insights are delivered about waste, how to attain more efficiency from equipment, and even potential failures and regulatory compliance issues.

This real-time data can deliver interesting insights, such as off-hour consumption, recommendations for optimizing production schedules and other opportunities for savings. It can even benchmark similar pieces of equipment to determine which machines are performing better and proactively solve problems with underperforming ones. Similarly, managers can evaluate different locations and pinpoint hidden operational inefficiencies and waste.
Key Takeaway: Manufacturers spend large amounts of money on energy consumption, yet much of that spend is a waste. IoT empowers managers to determine where they are losing energy, and fix those problem spots.
2. Predictive Maintenance

One of the largest benefits of IoT in the manufacturing industry is the ability to proactively complete maintenance. You are no longer planning maintenance schedules based on historical information, but instead receiving real-time data to understand maintenance needs at an exact moment. Sensors provide the relevant data so you can know the needs of the machine, rather than guessing. This technology drastically cuts waste from the manufacturing equation. If parts don't need replacement or repair is not required, those resources can be used elsewhere, and money and time are saved.

For example, IoT sensors may monitor the temperature of a key piece of manufacturing equipment. If the temperature starts to increase, staff can be alerted to the situation and a predictive solution can be put into action to prevent any potential issues.
Key Takeaway: IoT moves critical data out of silos, gives access to new data points via sensors and allows managers to access and understand that data so they can proactively solve maintenance challenges. These contextual insights keep equipment up and running and minimize the risk of costly downtime.
Many companies, such as the French rail company SNCF, are already using this technology to predict maintenance needs proactively. They are using machine learning to gain insight from the growing volumes of data they're collecting about their rail network, enabling them to more efficiently detect early warning signs of potential failure and resolve issues before they affect service.

3. Higher Product Quality

Improving the quality of products is a primary goal for manufacturers, according to an IDC report. A higher-quality product leads to many other benefits, such as reduced waste, lower costs, increased customer satisfaction and higher sales. Achieving this goal, however, is not always easy. This is where IoT can help.

One major culprit behind product-quality issues is faulty equipment, whether it has not been set correctly, calibrated properly or maintained. But even worse, manufacturers don't always know that equipment has a problem and as a result, the quality of the product may suffer. And they may not find out until it's too late.

For example, let's say an auto manufacturer is responsible for applying paint to metal parts. The company has a reputation for doing high-quality work, but one misstep may lead to months of problems.

Without warning, the temperature of the painting station shifts outside the norms. As a result, the paint does not adhere to the metal correctly, but at first glance, everything looks fine. The product sails through quality control and inspection, and it's not until a year later that customers see the effects. A recall is issued and large amounts of resources are spent correcting the problem.

These types of quality issues have far-reaching effects, resulting in product recalls, lost trust and damage to the brand. Those customers affected may jump to conclusions and assume the faulty paint was the result of cutting corners or using a less superior paint product.
Key Takeaway: Customer demands are higher than ever, and delivering a subpar product, regardless of cause, can create long-lasting effects. Simple mistakes can be avoided with the use of IoT, which has the ability to minimize quality-control issues and recapture those lost dollars.
Using IoT can help avoid these types of costly problems. With this technology in play, the paint station would have had IoT sensors embedded into the equipment. At the moment the sensors detected the temperature change, staff members would receive an alert. Employees could then stop production and solve the challenge immediately. As a result, the recall, angry customers, and damaged client relationships would all be avoided.

This technology is also useful in the product design and testing phases. For example, the production of aircraft, trains and other transportation equipment can be designed with sensors that help to measure important components that determine the safety, performance, and durability of the product.
Key Takeaway: Downtime has many costs, and among those costs is the loss of product during production. In addition, there is also the lost cost of opportunity. For example, you may get a request for a rush order, but be unable to fill the order because you're down a machine due to unplanned maintenance and repair. IoT helps recapture these costs and minimizes downtime.
4. Reduced Downtime

Timely, accurate and high-quality production is at the core of profits. Without reliable production, companies risk serious loss. Plus, when a machine stops working in the middle of a run, the product on the machine can be a total loss, in addition to traditional downtime expenses.
Key Takeaway: The Internet of Things empowers managers to make higher quality decisions because they are equipped with powerful and accurate data at the moment of relevance.
For example, let's say an oven breaks at a plant in the middle of a baking run. Upon the failure of the machine, you're struggling not just with downtime, but also with the loss of all the ingredients and associated production time. IoT provides safeguards against these types of losses. Sensors immediately detect problems in the baking machine at the moment that performance declines. Staff are alerted in real time and the problem can be resolved to minimize any associated downtime costs.

5. Faster, More Informed Decisions

Managers are never in the dark about equipment performance and problems when using IoT technology. They may have assumed everything was going smoothly in the past - until something broke. But the Internet of Things unlocks critical data about performance and allows those insights to flow freely to those who need them most.

Now managers can transform a reactive approach, focused on replacing parts on set schedules using historical data, into a proactive approach, in which stress is reduced, waste is decreased and visibility is elevated. As a result, they can make faster and more informed decisions at the precise moment of relevance.

The manufacturing industry is competitive, and companies are constantly seeking an edge to stay competitive and get ahead. They want to become more efficient, operate with greater profitability and serve customers better. IoT technology provides a powerful set of tools that can deliver these advantages. It takes data that has always been there but was never accessible before and puts it into the hands of those who need it most.

As a result, managers can transform a state of "putting out fires" into one that is more efficient and allows for companies to build new strategies focused on growth and innovation. Product quality is solid because the equipment is operating optimally, and clients are happier - so the company is positioned with greater strength and resiliency. It is these benefits that make IoT a critical tool for manufacturing companies that want to grow and thrive in the future.

Hello everyone! So alhamdulillah we are now at the end of our online forum. Thank you very much for the co-operations! However, before I end the online forum session, i would like to make conclusions based on our topic.

First of all, so basically the Industrial Sector are becoming more eager to adapt the usage of IoT in their industries. This is because of in this modern days, the usage of IoT are highly required in order to enhance the performance of the industries. As stated by the Gardner report," "The IoT industry is the next wave of internet technologies, and is expected to create hundreds of thousands of well-paying professional jobs," Argawal (2016). From this, we could say that IoT plays a major role in the revolution of the industrial sector.

After that, I would also like to explain that IoT would give lots of benefits for the industrial sector instead of cons. For example, the adoption of IoT in Industrial Sector would give Higher Product Quality for the industry. Then, it also can help to Reduced Downtime, this is because IoT could help to provide safeguards for the machines from any problems such as the failure of the machine. As stated in Fathym article, "Upon the failure of the machine, you’re struggling not just with downtime, but also with the loss of all the ingredients and associated production time. IoT provides safeguards against these types of losses".

Last but not least, however, the industrial sector needs to be more aware before adapting the usage of IoT in their sector. This is because IoT requires lots of expenses. Thus, they need to understand how IoT works. For example, connectivity. IoT connects helps to enable  network accessibility and compatibility.

How Industrial Sector will develop using Iot

# data[].attributes.body
Assalamualaikum everyone, today i would like to explain on how Industrial Sector will develop by using or developing to Iot. A surveyed has done by Forbes Insights, where it shows that among 500 employees surveyed, 90% agreed that IoT would be important to the future of their companies.

How?

From man-made goods to machine-made goods.

The revolution of industrial sector from using man-made goods to machine-made goods would give lots of benefits for the companies. As the company would change every asset of the company into smart, connected asset. From this, we know that the industrial sector's development would achieve lots from the revolution.

Manufacturing

The development of industrial sector using IoT also helps to enhance the manufacturing sector. This is because the performance of the manufacture process would become more efficient and quality. This can be proven where many many production facilities were already relying on smart sensors and machine learning to make in-line adjustments to the process.

To conclude, I agreed that the Industrial Sector would develop well using IoT as it has been proven that IoT could bring lots of benefits towards the Industrial Sectors.

Key Challenges that could prevent the adoption of IoT in Industrial Sectors.

# data[].attributes.body
As Iot gives lots of benefits towards the Industrial Sectors. It also has it owns cons or key challenges that would prevent the adoption of Iot in Industrial Sectors. This are some list of key challenges that could prevent the adoption of Iot in Industrial Sectors:

Security vulnerabilities

As Iot only works and connected towards each other, the security of the network are not secure as there are no human control or encrypted network that could protect it. This will increase the chances of the network from being hack by hackers. As said by Marius (2018), IoT devices communicate automatically with each other. In the absence of a secure and properly encrypted network, the adoption of IoT could lead to brand new security challenges and vulnerabilities.

The cost of implementing IoT solutions

After that, I also believe that the implementing of Iot solutions towards the Industrial Sector would led to high cost. This is due to many companies would have to use a lot of to invest for the particular product.

Technology Takes Control of Life

As people begin to relied on Iot, this will led them to depend to much on Iot. This will surely cause technology to take control of life as there are not more man workforce needed to do every task given and people that depends too much on it. As stated in Pros and Cons of Internet of Things (IoT) - What You Need to Know (Article), Our lives will be increasingly controlled by technology, and will be dependent on it. The younger generation is already addicted to technology for every little thing.

In conclusion, companies that would like to adopt the usage of Iot in their industry should be more aware of the key challenges of adopting Iot despite it would help to reduce risk and downtime.

By 2025, the global industrial IoT market is expected to reach 933.62 billion dollars . The scope of cloud applications and scalability are two of the factors that will drive the additional growth across all industries within it.

The sectors that benefit from industrial IoT solutions the most right now include manufacturing, healthcare, energy and power production, logistics and transportation, oil and gas, and agriculture. Over the coming few years, the manufacturing sector is expected to emerge as the dominant one. According to analytical reports, the industrial internet of things will reinvent many sectors that account for approximately two thirds of the global economic output, driving of 14.2 trillion dollars by 2030.

What are the reasons for the prominence of industrial IoT solutions? Some of them have been touched upon in the intro but let's take a more thorough look.

Industrial Internet of Things: Key Benefits

Industrial IoT solutions allow for more efficient, affordable and easy way to maintain processes.

Currently, most companies adopt a very simple modus operandi - if something breaks, they fix it. The use of smart sensors and the right software, however, will allow for the correct prediction of upcoming failures. Equipment can be replaced and maintained in a much more effective way, reducing the risk of breakdowns and industrial processes coming to a halt.

The range of IoT applications is quite big and diverse. Currently, IoT solutions can be utilized to accomplish all of the following:

Facility management: Condition-based maintenance is an effortless task and so sensors can be used to increase the effectiveness of facility management. Manufacturing equipment is prone to wear and tear. It's also susceptible to specific conditions. Sensors can monitor temperature, vibrations and other factors that could be leading to less than optimal operational conditions.

Inventory management: IoT solutions can also be quite beneficial when it comes to reducing the risk of inventory management errors. Events will be effortless to monitor across the supply chain, giving companies a comprehensive view of inventory. Estimates of available materials and supplies are accurate, which prevents slowdowns.

Enhanced industrial safety: The Internet of Things combines effectively with the analysis of big data. Key performance indicators of health and safety can thus be monitored constantly to ensure better workplace conditions. Lagging indicators like the number of accidents can be addressed immediately.

Optimization of logistics and the supply chain: Real-time supply chain information will also become available through the reliance on an IoT solution. Products and supplies will be much easier to track, identifying slowdowns and inefficiencies. In a sense, plants will be connected to suppliers via the cloud. All concerned parties can trace the required information to predict issues and address inventory reductions as quickly as possible.

Smart metering: Smart meters can monitor the consumption of resources like electricity, water, fuels, etc. Through the use of IoT sensors, manufacturers will know how much is consumed and what for. Through effective management, operational expenditure can be reduced significantly.

These are just a few of the possibilities. Industrial IoT solutions can result in computer-enhanced vehicles that transmit relevant information, better fleet management and even geo-intelligence (the right type of information is sent to a device in close proximity with the respective piece of industrial equipment).

IoT allows for relevant predictive knowledge to be accumulated. The cost of downtime in the industrial world can be overpowering. Unplanned downtime is costing industrial companies 260,000 dollars per hour .

While a zero downtime solution is yet to be developed, industrial IoT makes it much easier to identify problems and conditions before these could contribute to massive halts in the industrial process.

Challenges and IoT Issues to Overcome

Many companies are still facing problems with industrial IoT adoption. They don't know where to start and which automated processes will contribute to the highest increase in effectiveness.

An Accenture survey also suggests that the adoption of IoT is geographically limited . Only a few countries are providing stimuli and making such technology readily available. The current market leaders include the US, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the Nordic countries.

Both the technology and the business infrastructure required to increase the propagation of IoT are available in these parts of the world.

Countries like Russia, Italy and Spain, for example, will need to invest in the right infrastructure first. Without the creation of an infrastructural network, the adoption of industrial IoT solutions will be impossible, BBC reported.

A few other key challenges prevent the widespread adoption of IoT solutions at the time being:

Security vulnerabilities: IoT devices communicate automatically with each other. In the absence of a secure and properly encrypted network, the adoption of IoT could lead to brand new security challenges and vulnerabilities. Standalone security elements will have to be introduced in the network to enable adoption without a higher risk of hack attacks or data leaks.

Absence of IoT standards: Many automation devices already operate in an array of industrial and manufacturing settings. The problem is that various protocols are being utilized and there's no standardization that will ensure interoperability.

The cost of implementing IoT solutions: This is another essential element that cannot be underestimated. The cost of implementing the IoT infrastructure is often perceived as overwhelming. Many companies worry about the return on such an investment and so remain hesitant. This is where the importance of choosing the right IoT solutions comes to the stage center. Ease of use, ease of training and the development of more readily adoptable products could also help eliminate some of the hesitation in the future.

The Future of Industrial IoT

The rise of industrial IoT will soon bring the factory of the future to reality.

Material handling, manufacturing, product distribution and supply chain management will all be automated to a degree in the years to come. To drive the digital transformation forward, however, executives will have to become involved in the process right from the start. The IT department alone will need such support when revolutionary decisions are being made about production processes.

The industrial internet of things, also known as industry 4.0, has already started the fourth industrial revolution. More automation has already led to a 30 percent boost in productivity and the adoption of flexible production techniques. Predictive maintenance is reducing the cost even further by saving more than 12 percent on scheduled repairs and bringing breakdowns down by nearly 70 percent.

In the future, experts suggest that industrial IoT will enhance production levels even further and become the driving force behind various types of innovation (including the utilization of innovative fuels). The workforce itself will also be transformed as a part of the extensive automation process.

While an array of adoption challenges will still have to be overcome, predictive analysis suggests that the world will have 50 billion connected devices by 2020. It would be a pity for such a massive network to remain unutilized in attempts to enhance industrial processes. Remember that industrial IoT is not about smart product development. Rather, it will help for a higher level of efficiency and predictive rather than reactionary interventions - a main problem industries across the world are struggling with today.

The first one is the interconnectivity that brings mean we are connected to anything including global information and also communication infrastructure. Next, the services that are things-related, for example privacy protection that are require physical things and their associated virtual devices.To provide this,this all things will be change according to the time. Last but not least, the safety of this particular IoT, even if we are to immerse in this kind of technology but we cannot forget about the safety, both of the users and also the recipient of the IoT. We have to take charge in taking care the networks, the data, the devices and almost everything safety. Because nowadays, IoT has no boundaries and we can do anything with it. The most important one is connectivity, have an access to the network. without network, the things is limited. That's all.

Hi everyone, so we have discuss many things regarding our topic which involve the industrial sector. But before we go more to explain this particular topic, I am really enthusiast to give all you a brief explanation what is exactly Internet Of Thing. So, lets explore more. first thing first, IoT refer to a network that can connect to anything with the Internet based on particular protocols. This platform offers information exchange and communication, this is leading to smart management, monitoring, tracing and many more. This IoT concept was coined by a member of the RFID development community in 1999. IoT refer to the general things especially objects that are readable, locatable, reachable. It is the new revolution of the internet. According to Patel (2016), the goals of IoT is to connect anything,anywhere, anyplace and anyone. in the simpler  words everything is interconnected.

Yes. It is true and I am agree that when industrial sector implements IoT in their management, it will give many benefits to their productivity and can increase their efficiency. According to Morgan (2018), the CEO of Open Market said that when the machine has become smarter and does not require human to look over the stuff. The machine got problems? No problems, this is because if there is anything, the machine will tell you by using the radio frequency identification tags (RFID).

Other than that, the problem of Overproduction can be solved configuration of the specific requirements or number. They have been programmed to do this and that. In addition, IoT have the ability to monitor entire system, thus, manpower does not have to be there all the time to observe the production of the product. In the implementation of IoT, it bring a lot of advantages and it leads to the more sophisticated work environment.
