The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) are two great ways in which IoT sensors make our lives and businesses much simpler. Did you know that IoT sensors can be embedded in smartphones, homes, offices, and workplaces? And with wireless…
IoT developers and project engineers have at their disposal a growing number of sensors which is making them smaller. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology has driven sensors shrinkage. Micro-Electro-Mechanical systems are used in a variety of areas other than sensors, including communication modules, actuators and data…
5G and IoT are here to stay. This occurs due to the need for collaborative robots, and consequently, the need for a remarkable reduction in occupational hazards. 5G and IoT help prevent employees from causing injury by allowing them to control robot arms from another room. In…
The IoT impact on manufacturing industries is massive. Inter-reliability between sensors, equipment, machines, and lines, as well as processing units, plants, materials, packaging, vehicles, buildings, computers, software, cloud technology, mobile devices, and individuals is key to accomplishing innovative results and driving value in manufacturing. Although IoT has disrupted…
There is an essential need for digital technology, robotics, and image recognition in the agricultural sector. Farmers are beginning to realize that smart farming and agriculture should go hand in hand. This will give them an opportunity to ensure the profitability of their industry and address…
There is an urgent need for smart farming technologies since, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the world will need 70% more food by 2050. With shrinking agricultural lands and the depletion of finite natural resources, it is critical to increase farm yield. …
The integration of software, sensors and connectivity with assets makes up the digital transformation in manufacturing. This transformation will revolutionize the way factories work and produce. Also, IoT has given manufacturing companies the ability to be more efficient and flexible, which will ultimately help increase…
Smart things have reached critical mass with the implementation of IoT in the manufacturing industry. Wireless connectivity products (lightbulbs, thermostats, smart speakers, and lightbulbs) are part of our lives, and it is more common than ever. A report indicates that 79 percent of Americans have at least…
