The Internet of Things, or
IoT, refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now
connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. A light bulb that can
be switched on using a smartphone app is an IoT device or as serious as a self
driving car, or as complicated as a jet engine that’s now filled with thousands
of sensors collecting and transmitting data back to make sure it is operating
efficiently. At an even bigger scale, smart cities projects are filling entire
regions with sensors to help us understand and control the environment. IOT
adds a level of digital intelligence to devices that would be otherwise dumb,
enabling them to communicate real-time data without a human being involved,
effectively merging the digital and physical worlds.
The term “Internet of
Things” was coined by entrepreneur Kevin Ashton, one of the founders of the
Auto-ID Centre at MIT. Since 2012, major changes in sensors have led to rapid
maturing in the Internet of Things market – fuelling digital transformation for
many businesses.
The Industrial Internet of
Things (IIoT) or the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 is all names
given to the use of IoT technology in a business setting. The concept is the
same as for the consumer IoT; to use a combination of sensors, wireless
networks, big data and analytics to measure and optimise industrial processes.
Stage IoT architecture which
are:
STAGE 1: Sensors and
actuators: sensors collect data from an environment/Machine and turn it into
usable data.
STAGE 2: Internet gateways
and Data Acquisition Systems: Data acquisition systems (DAS) are responsible
for aggregating and converting the data. It connects to the sensor networks,
aggregates the output, and converts the analog data to digital data.
STAGE 3: Edge IT Data
Processing: enhanced analytics and pre-processing is performed, Edge IT systems
also use machine learning CNC Rotary Table and visualization technologies, it generates useful
results and only pass those to the next stage.
STAGE 4: Data centre and
cloud: all the data that needs more in-depth analysis without requiring
immediate feedback goes to cloud-based data centres. These data centres are
capable of analyzing, handling, and storing huge amounts of data.
We at UCAM make Rotary Table smart and IOT enabled.
IOT will help avoiding unplanned downtime — using analytics to predict
equipment failure ahead of time to schedule orderly maintenance procedures
otherwise known as Predictive Maintenance can help mitigate the
damaging economics of unplanned downtime.
Monitor UCAM Product health live by monitoring different
parameters like over pressure limit/under pressure limit, oil level status, critical
temperature data, humidity data, Clamp/unclamp feedback. Analyzing the parameter will contribute in improvement of Product
Performance.
