The “Internet of Everything” refers to the seamless connection of devices and objects to the Internet, enabling users to control them remotely. This includes turning lights on and off via a smartphone, managing cars, communication devices, agricultural tools, buildings, homes, and everyday appliances—all through Internet connectivity.
IoT, also known as M2M (Machine to Machine), is an internet-based technology that enables devices to communicate and interact with each other seamlessly.
The Internet of Things (IoT) plays a crucial role in the industry by enhancing production efficiency and increasing sales while reducing labor costs and resource consumption. Integrating IoT into an organization improves the performance of ERP systems, making business operations smoother and more data-driven.
IoT in the Manufacturing Industry
One key application of IoT in manufacturing is predictive maintenance. IoT-enabled sensors can monitor machine conditions in real time and alert the system when maintenance is needed before a failure occurs. This helps minimize downtime, reduce repair costs, and prevent disruptions in the production process.
