The Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the integration of IoT technology in industrial systems and processes to improve efficiency, safety, and productivity. It involves connecting a wide range of industrial devices, sensors, and machines to the internet and using data from these connected devices to make informed decisions.
Some common IoT devices in the industrial sector include:
- Smart sensors and actuators: used to monitor and control physical conditions such as temperature, pressure, and vibration in industrial environments
- Industrial gateways: act as a bridge between field devices and the cloud or control systems
- Robotics and automation systems: use IoT technology to improve efficiency and performance
- Industrial cameras: used for remote monitoring and inspection purposes
- Industrial wearables: used to improve worker safety and efficiency in industrial settings
- Smart machines: such as 3D printers, CNC machines, and other industrial machines equipped with sensors and connected to the internet.
Sensors that are commonly used in industrial IoT include:
- Temperature sensors: used to measure temperature in industrial processes and environments
- Pressure sensors: used to measure pressure in fluid systems, gases, and liquids
- Humidity sensors: used to measure the amount of moisture in the air
- Vibration sensors: used to detect mechanical vibrations and wear in machinery
- Light sensors: used to measure light intensity and detect changes in illumination
- Flow sensors: used to measure fluid flow in pipelines and ducts
- Gas sensors: used to detect the presence and concentration of gases in the air
- Proximity sensors: used to detect the presence of objects or changes in the distance between objects
