Industrial IoT Flashcards
IoT
Network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to connect and exchange data.
Useful:
When a large variety of sensors need to share data
A cloud based application software for managing items
Applications involving personalisation
Building IoT Hardware
Microcontrollers (MCUs): The brain of an IoT device, responsible for running the software and processing data
Sensors: Convert physical parameters into electrical signals for the MCU to process.
Actuators: Translate electrical signals from the MCU into physical action.
Communication Modules: Enable IoT devices to connect and communicate with other devices and networks. * Examples: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, cellular, and satellite modules.
IoT Connections
Wi-Fi: High bandwidth, ideal for data-intensive applications within a limited range.
Bluetooth: Short-range communication, perfect for personal area networks.
Zigbee and LoRaWAN: Low power, suitable for long-range sensor networks.
5G: Next-gen cellular offering high speed and low latency for critical and large-scale applications
Industrial IoT
The application of Internet of things to (create value for) industrial processes, supply chains, products and services?
Integrating data from suppliers, logistics, providers, customers
Introducing new technology, peripherals, tools, equipment
Distributed production requiring addition of new data sources, locations, owners
Sensors on board raw materials
Can use wireless device connections to integrate IoT with existing systems
Cloud-based analytics and some control
Simply just linking additional factory sensors
Sense data from the outside that might influence operations
