IIoT – IoT in 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.

IoT SIM cards and M2M SIM cards in the industry

Within the IIoT, IoT SIM cards and M2M SIM cards are mainly used to connect machines to each other and to the internet. They are also used for sensors and for asset management. Do you know exactly what kind of data SIM cards you need? Put it together yourself via our handy Choose you sim tool. Not sure yet? Take a look at our about pages IoT and M2M SIM cards or contact with one of our experts.

 

Mobile Broadband SIM cards in the industry

Mobile Broadband SIM cards are mainly used within the IIoT to provide redundant internet connections where people cannot depend on existing internet solutions. For example, it is possible that a printer on a production line needs an internet connection to function, but the rest of the devices do not. If the internet then fails, it would be a shame to shut down the entire production line just because the printer has no internet. In such a case, a Mobile Broadband SIM card can be used to provide the printer with internet. Comgate is happy to help you choose the right data SIM card for your industrial application.

4G/5G backup for Industry 

Even if your current internet connection meets your requirements for Industrial IoT, you can still benefit from our packages. Our back-up packages ensure that your production line can continue to run when the fixed internet connection is lost. This minimizes downtime if the fixed internet connection unexpectedly fails. You purchase our 4G/5G Backup package per month.

Examples of IoT in industry

Quality control

Production lines can be made smart by using smart equipment with sensors. By means of sensors, the production line can be automatically monitored for quality and shut down when the quality is not sufficient.

Automated remote management of equipment

Smart equipment can collect data and send it to any location in the world via the internet. For example, huge production lines can be monitored and managed remotely. In this way, a person or team can keep a real-time overview of huge numbers of machines remotely.

Predictive Maintenance

One of the biggest advantages of IIoT is that equipment can monitor itself through sensors. For example, on the basis of vibrations, voltages and temperatures, a machine can have an algorithm predict when the machine is no longer working optimally or needs maintenance. For example, fewer technicians need to be hired for the periodic check of equipment.

asset tracking

IoT sensors can be used in industry to provide insight into the status of individual assets. For example, deliveries of products or raw materials can be monitored in real time. This can be especially important for perishable or fragile stock.
