Organizations best suited for IoT are those that will benefit from using sensor devices in their business processes.
Manufacturing
When sensors detect an impending failure, manufacturers can gain a competitive advantage by using production line monitoring to proactively maintain equipment. Sensors can actually measure when yields are affected. With the help of sensor alerts, manufacturers can quickly check equipment for accuracy or remove it from production until it is repaired. This enables companies to reduce operating costs, achieve better uptime, and improve asset performance management. Беспроводной модем LoRa
Car
The automotive industry will gain significant advantages from using IoT applications. In addition to the benefits of applying IoT to production lines, sensors can detect impending equipment failures in vehicles already on the road and can alert drivers with detailed information and recommendations. Thanks to the aggregated information collected by IoT-based applications, automakers and suppliers can learn more about how to keep cars running and owners informed.
Transportation and Logistics
Transportation and logistics systems benefit from various IoT applications. With IoT sensor data, fleets of cars, trucks, ships and trains carrying inventory can be rearranged based on weather conditions, vehicle availability or driver availability. The inventory itself can also be equipped with sensors for tracking and temperature control monitoring. The food and beverage, flower, and pharmaceutical industries, which often carry temperature-sensitive inventory, would greatly benefit from IoT monitoring applications that send alerts when temperatures rise or fall to levels that threaten products.
Retail
IoT applications allow retail companies to manage inventory, improve customer experience, optimize supply chains, and reduce operating costs. For example, smart shelves equipped with weight sensors can collect RFID-based information and send the data to an IoT platform to automatically monitor inventory and trigger alerts when items are low. Beacons can push targeted offers and promotions to customers for an engaging experience. Серийный сервер
Public Sector
The benefits of IoT in the public sector and other service-related environments are equally broad. For example, a government-owned utility could use an IoT-based application to notify its customers of large-scale power outages and even minor disruptions to water, power, or sewer service. IoT applications can collect data on the extent of outages and deploy resources to help utilities recover from outages faster.
Health care
IoT asset monitoring offers several benefits to the healthcare industry. Doctors, nurses and paramedics often need to know the exact location of patient assistance assets such as wheelchairs. When hospital wheelchairs are equipped with IoT sensors, they can be tracked from an IoT asset monitoring application so that anyone looking for a wheelchair can quickly find the nearest wheelchair available. Many hospital assets can be tracked in this way to ensure proper use and financial accounting of each department's physical assets.
General safety for all industries
In addition to tracking physical assets, IoT can also be used to improve worker safety. For example, employees in hazardous environments such as mines, oil and gas fields, chemical plants, and power plants need to be aware of the occurrence of hazardous events that can affect them. When they connect to an IoT sensor-based application, they can be notified of an accident or rescued from an accident as soon as possible. IoT applications are also used in wearable devices that can monitor human health and environmental conditions. These types of apps not only help people better understand their own health, but also allow doctors to monitor patients remotely.
