IoT for every industry

Many industries and branches are now applying IoT applications. Of all the industries and sectors where IoT can be applied, the most applications can be found in industry, or Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). For example, there are now smart production lines with machines that work independently and monitor themselves. But a lot can also be gained in logistics with the IIoT. Smart robots can move pallets back and forth, and products can be equipped with sensors. For example, packages can be traced from door to door. Of course, all these devices must be connected to the internet for this to work. As a connectivity specialist, Comgate supplies all SIM cards to make this possible. We can also supply all necessary hardware through partner Capestone. Read more about what our IoT data SIM cards, total solutions can do for you or request your customized connectivity quote.

The internet has become an indispensable part of the modern workplace. IoT in enterprise had a major impact. Nowadays, almost every employee works on a computer or laptop with an internet connection. We use these internet connections for everything: getting in touch with each other, looking up information, sending documents, running applications, and much more. Comgate supplies Temporary Internet packages with which we can provide internet and IoT for companies; even if you do not have a fixed internet connection on location. In addition, depending on your company, there are many more opportunities around IoT in business. Read on to learn a little more about this.

Within the automotive sector, IoT has ensured that cars can now be 'smart'. For example, sensors can be installed in the cars with which data can be measured and processed in the on-board computer. This can, for example, ensure that the engine runs more efficiently to save fuel. A smart car can also be equipped with cameras; the images from these cameras can be used for assisted driving, for example automatically keeping the car within the lines. We can also provide mobile internet for in vehicles with the 4G/5G hardware from Capestone and data SIM cards from Comgate.

The Internet of Things and other advanced technologies ensure that processes in the construction sector can be organized more efficiently and yield higher profit margins. Many construction companies are engaged in digitization, both for their company and for processes. The application of IoT can be seen in smart buildings and construction sites. And what about smart roads that transmit a great deal of information. Progressive projects that we will encounter more and more in this sector.

Sea shipping is the most common mode of transport used by importers and exporters. About 75% of all transport shipments in Europe are transported by sea or ocean. IoT creates opportunities to digitize and optimize this mode of transport. Comgate is happy to help you find the right IoT data SIM card on the water. More and more companies in the maritime sector are opting for 4G / 5G internet for their primary or secondary internet connection at sea. This is for business-critical IT networks or WiFi for the crew. In addition to the 4G and 5G hardware via partner Capestone, we are happy to help you with the right connectivity solution for this sector.

A part within the transport sector where IoT applications can be of great significance is Fleet management. Fleet management is a complex process that involves many aspects. It concerns on the one hand the follow-up of vehicles and maintenance and on the other hand driver management. For fleet managers who have hundreds of vehicles in their care, manually keeping track of vehicles or critical data is a lot of work.

Logistics and transportation are one of the most important sectors that adopt IoT on a large scale. Companies use IoT to improve logistics processes, both in warehouses and beyond. The global IoT in the logistics market is expected to exceed $2030 billion by 100, strengthening the role of Internet of Things and big data technologies for location management, inventory and fleet management.

More and more cities worldwide are looking for smart and technological solutions to offer their inhabitants a more efficient and better quality lifestyle. IoT is expected to play an increasingly important role in large cities. Especially since the United Nations predicts that 2030% of the world's population will live in a city by 60. To ensure the quality of life in a city, many cities will turn to technology and advanced networks to help them manage limited resources.

Industry 4.0 is a buzzword that we hear regularly. This is about making companies smarter and more automated. While the third Industrial Revolution focused on switching from mechanical and analog processes to digital ones, Industry 4.0 focuses on deepening the impact of digital technologies by making machines more self-sufficient and allowing them to “talk” to each other. In this way, machines receive enormous amounts of data to analyze and base choices on. 

The Internet of Things (IoT) is restructuring several sectors, including the automotive industry. We have to admit that connected devices are changing our lifestyle. IoT connectivity, smart sensors and gadgets, edge computing, mobile apps and cloud services will revolutionize the way you interact with and use your cars.

The concept of a smart building is based on using interconnected technologies to make buildings more responsive, sustainable and productive for their users. An average building is being erected for the next few decades, but nobody knows exactly what the world will look like in 20 years. A building that is future-proof is a building that adapts to its use.

Sea shipping is the most common mode of transport used by importers and exporters. About 75% of all transport shipments in Europe are transported by sea or ocean. With the help of the Internet of Things, opportunities are created to digitize and optimize this mode of transport.

Like many other industries, the retail sector is embracing the transformation to the Internet of Things. The acceleration is partly caused by the COVID pandemic. This has led many retailers to rethink their digital strategy strategy and speed of implementation. In addition to optimizing the transport process, IoT helps to reduce costs, stimulate growth and improve the customer experience.

The use of smart technology in healthcare has increased in recent years. Bringing powerful devices such as smart insulin pens, connected inhalers, asthma monitors come more into the hands of ordinary consumers, enabling them to better manage and address their own health needs. But also to quickly access help if something goes wrong.

In agriculture a lot is invested in innovation. The Netherlands has traditionally been a forerunner in this field. Optimal crop growth and savings on fertilization and energy consumption are important pillars. For this reason, the Westland (in The Netherlands) is always open to smart and new ideas. For example, energy sharing already takes place with a so-called heat roundabout; Hot water from the port industry is used to heat the greenhouses.
