The concept of Internet of Things (IOT) is not something new. It was developed in 1999 by Gevin Ashton at the Massachusetts Institute Laboratory (MIT), researching radio frequency identification sensors.
\nDue to the miniaturization of devices, the increase in processing capacity and the improvement of wireless communication networks, the Internet of Things has been staying and is gaining more and more space in the digital transformation.
\nSeveral aspects determine the type of technology that will be used in process monitoring. The main aspects to consider are:
\n \u2022 Remote power consumption of the device – Electric or Battery
\n \u2022 Number of readings required per day
\n \u2022 Number of variables to be measured
\n \u2022 Type of network to be used
\n \u2022 Connection characteristics of remote devices with other equipment
\n \u2022 Consideration of the area and place of installation
\nConsidering all these factors, we will determine the type of Monitoring most appropriate to the process:
\n \u2022 Basic Monitoring – The remote data collection device connects directly to the Internet.
\n \u2022 Advanced Monitoring \u2013 The Remote Module connects to intelligent equipment that controls the process, for example, a PLC Programmable Logic Controller or other type of equipment that communicates with the equipment through specific protocols.
\n \u2022 Monitoring over Remote Local Networks \u2013 When multiple sensors need to be monitored remotely, it is possible to establish a wireless local network connected to a gateway which, in turn, will be responsible for transmitting all information to the internet.
\nMain benefits of IOT solutions:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Mobility and Total Access to Information: the data that is downloaded is available via the mobile phone or the Internet.
\n\u2022 Resource optimization and loss prevention by instantly identifying critical situations
\n\u2022 Better Management and Quality
\n\u2022 Savings in Logistics and Communication: Substantial improvement in planning, avoiding urgent deliveries and cargo return, optimizing fleet displacement.
\n\u2022 Emergency Management and Early Warning: Allows you to gain precious minutes for your team to solve or avoid problems
\n\u2022 Automatic alarm receipts
\n\u2022 Predictive Maintenance through the implementation of Machine Learning <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
