To truly understand the impact of IIoT, let's delve into some real-world examples:
IIoT in the Energy Industry
Imagine industrial-scale solar energy systems that not only generate clean energy but also optimize its distribution and management. This is precisely what IIoT has enabled for companies like KYOTO, an environmental technology leader.
By leveraging Industrial IoT, KYOTO created a secure cloud infrastructure for a solar energy system. This system not only monitors equipment performance but also stores thermal energy and utilizes image recognition technology for enhanced security.
IIoT in the Aviation Industry
The aviation industry is another prime example of how IIoT is taking things to new heights. Companies like Clear AirSpace are using IIoT to provide pilots with real-time data, supporting better decision-making during flights and ensuring the safety of passengers and crew. Read more about that here.
Similarly, HRESS utilizes IIoT to create a scanning and monitoring system for heliports, significantly improving safety and operational efficiency.
IIoT in the Logistics Industry
The complex world of logistics has also been transformed by IIoT. By connecting various aspects of the supply chain, IIoT offers real-time data for better tracking, inventory management, and resource allocation. This translates to significant cost savings and improved efficiency throughout the entire supply chain ecosystem.
A prime example is Amazon, a company that has successfully deployed IIoT-enabled robots in warehouses, leading to a remarkable 20% reduction in operating costs.
IoT for Smart Cities
SMIGA is a startup that offers an innovative platform for long-term bike rental. Each Smiga bike is equipped with a dedicated IoT module. The challenge was to enable these hardware modules to transmit information to our backend.
Our team has developed a solution that enables constant communication with the equipment, which helps users to track the condition of the bike in real-time. Even if your phone loses its network, the connection to the bike is always on.
IIoT in the Manufacturing Industry
In the manufacturing industry, IIoT has revolutionized maintenance practices. Sensors embedded in equipment can continuously monitor its health, allowing companies to predict potential breakdowns before they occur. This proactive approach, known as predictive maintenance, helps to prevent costly downtime and ensures smooth production flow. Airbus, a leading aviation manufacturer, exemplifies this with their 'Factory of the Future' initiative. By leveraging IIoT, Airbus has enhanced employee safety, reduced errors, and significantly improved production quality.
