Prevention Is Better Than Cure and IoT Sensors Do It Better Than Ever

In the race to outdo their competitors, companies are using different tactics. From increasing the rate of production to employing new technologies, they are utilizing every trick in the book to come up trumps. While it is a good practice to increase the pace of development, it should never be at the cost of safety. But it has been seen that despite the establishment of regulatory bodies like OSHA and many others, accidents do take place, especially in those operations that are ramped up injudiciously. Most accidents are a result of lack of monitoring because companies simply cannot afford sufficient resources to look after their work. In these scenarios, installation of IoT sensors can be an efficient and cost-effective alternative. Importance of IoT Sensors As IoT ( Internet of Things ) becomes a modern-day phenomenon, the development of IoT sensors has gathered pace. Some of the most useful sensors available in the market are: 1.       Pr...

M2M connectivity: For Nipping the Problem in the Bud

As clearly seen from, a minor issue that is not caught in its infancy can have huge bearings on the overall operations of a company. Just imagine a parallel situation, in which, the same pump is connected with an IoT sensor and sending data frequently to a cloud-platform where it is monitored by a manager. This manager has access to all the historical data generated by the pump up till now. When he receives the new data and compares it with the historical data, he immediately learns about damage to a component inside the pump. He swaps the pump with a new one and the problem never happens. How is that for nipping the problem in the bud? All thanks to IoT sensors and M2M connectivity . Why M2M Connectivity Is Required in Manufacturing Industry? Such are the dynamics of businesses these days that a small malfunction can have huge financial repercussions. A recent event, in which, a pharmaceutical company lost product worth nearly 20 million dollars due to a malfunctioning ...
