If you are interested in modern technology, most probably you've heard about such concept as the Internet of things: small wireless devices that can be installed in virtually any household item with a view to improving its effectiveness.
The same is implied by Industrial Internet of Things, with the only difference that production objects act here as things. Read in our article on how it works.

Making a production "smarter"

Three important components of the Industrial Internet of Things:

• [url=http://]sensors%20for%20process%20monitoring[/url];
  
• cloud systems for data storage and transmission;
  
• applications to get real-time information, such as AllCtrl.SCADA.
  

A network of intelligent systems and sensors can be installed in cars, airplanes, aggregates, power plants, and so on. They increase the profitability and efficiency of production processes, with a positive impact on economic performance.

Brief facts: benefits of AllCtrl.SCADA

Industrial Internet of things can greatly improve production for several reasons:

• reduces repair costs;
  
• improves employee efficiency;
  
• reduces breakdown and failure of the equipment;
  
• enables more efficient planning of maintenance and still of spare parts;
  
• optimizes planning of order fulfilment;
  
• reduces the cost of routine maintenance and repairs;
  
• significantly reduces the percentage of equipment failure.
  

It is even better in practice

Since our company "Allctrl" deals with the automation of greenhouses (among other things), we will give a simple example of introduction of the Internet in this industry. With sensors installed in the greenhouses, you can control the equipment to achieve the desired values (for example, the temperature inside the greenhouse or air humidity).
There are already some companies in Russia that successfully practice the Industrial Internet of Things in their production. For example, metallurgical complexes introduce auto-accreditation (the process of automatic evaluation of specified parameters and identification of their compliance with the specified product characteristics) without significant costs. Devices are equipped with sensors in the amount of from 4 to 9 thousand. The developed software reads information from sensors and, through data analysis alone, these companies are able to increase the efficiency of the equipment by 5%.

The future of production is on the Internet of Things

Internet of Things is the transmission and storage of information collected from all production facilities in a single cloud system. Sensors installed in the equipment immediately determine its health and prevent breakage.
We are still unable to completely exclude human factor, but we are able to use the digital data in a new way. New options for arranging working environment and workplaces will in turn increase profits.
According to the international consulting company Accenture, the contribution of the Industrial Internet of Things to world production by 2030 would reach $14.2 trillion.
