4 Reasons to Future Proof Your Business With
Industrial IoT
Automation of various daily activities is not a
new concept. It is something we see and do in
our everyday lives. We use the products that are
born out of the internet of things. Its in our
smartwatches, home hubs, weighing scales,
refrigerators, doorbells, our cars, and a million
other products in between. The internet in them
enables them to talk to each other. However, IoT
goes beyond just our personal use products. It
has expanded its reach to machines, factories
and what not. This is the industrial internet of
things. It is popularly known as the fourth wave
of the Industrial Revolution.

And in this blog, we are going to give you an
overview of how it works, how it enhances your
business operations and the challenges you might
face during the implementation of the same. How
does IIoT work? The most basic step of using
IIoT solutions in your production flow is by
integrating the necessary sensors or by switching
out with the machines that have with the right
sensors. There are two ways to go about it.
Either one can build these machines from
scratch according to ones requirement, or one
can buy these machines and robots and program
them according to their needs. The sensors you
use can be determined by how you want the actions
to flow. For movement-based actions, you need a
motion sensor, for time- based ones you need to
set it up for actions at specific intervals. You
can also have temperature-based sensors to get
the most productivity based on the changing
environment. IIoT might come with some
complications but it has something big to offer
us. According to a study, by 2020, 85 of
manufacturers plan to implement IIoT solutions
in their plants. This means that they can see
the long-term implementation of IIoT and already
have a workforce that knows how to use these
systems or are in the process of hiring skilled
people who are able to integrate IIoT in their
workflow. And if you are still on the minority
side of this, then we know the reason why. In
our next section, we have listed out the concerns
you might have regarding IIoT and of course, the
reasons why you should let go of them.

• Why are owners scared of implementing industrial
  IoT services?
• Data security breaches The most important part
  of the internet of things, is the cloud-based
  system it works on. The data is on a cloud
  platform. A lot of owners worry about security
  breaches.
• Finding skilled workforce IIoT is a fairly new
  concept. So, owners are concerned about not
  being able to find skilled workers for a price
  that they can afford.
• Upgrading costs Upgrading huge machines is
  pretty expensive. And without actually seeing
  the benefits work for them, the owners are
  hesitant to take the risk of spending a huge sum
  of money.
• Production Stoppage Obviously upgrading machines
  means production will pause for a while. This
  means your business might suffer a loss during
  the process of machine upgradation.
• Current Workforce Problems The staff may take a
  while to learn their way around the new
  machines, so the once friction-less work
  environment could be a little more stressful.
  This may upset the workflow and affect the
  production process. However, once the training
  is over and things start to run smoothly, there
  is no turning back on efficiency.
• All the concerns regarding the IIoT are valid but
  the benefits IIoT has to offer will take your
  business to another level. Below are the benefits

• the internet. The machines can monitor themselves
  and learn their own behavior patterns making
  sure that everything works efficiently.
• Seamless Workflow IIoT enabled devices work with
  each other to create a seamless workflow. This
  gives way to more structured business operations
  and quality products. IIoT solutions make your
  machines smarter and help you sell more.
• Shorter Maintenance Time The machines work in
  sync with each other and humans in a particular
  pattern. Any break in the pattern triggers an
  alert and notifies the owner. This means that one
  can repair it immediately. When the maintenance
  interval is shorter, the production cycle has
  shorter delays.
• Efficient Customer Service Another advancement
  that IIoT can offer you is the efficient
  monitoring of all the products you sell. Whenever
  the products malfunction, your customer
  immediately gets an alert to bring it in for
  maintenance or you can offer at home maintenance,
  depending on the product. Efficient customer
  service helps establish a long-term relationship
  with the customer.
• Enhanced Upselling As we have already
  established, IIoT solutions can monitor the
  products that an owner sells. It is a great way
  to upsell your original product. Moreover, by
  learning how customers use a product, and what
  for, the owner can understand the future
  requirements of the market and launch new
  products based on that. The new products can be
  completely unrelated to the original one, or
  they could be add-on accessories that enhance the
  original product.
