Unleash Full Potential Of IoT Deployments
Cisco’s IoT World Forum 2017 at Tobacco Dock, London, concluded with keynote speeches on the vision for the future of Internet of Things among many other IoT and Cloud topics.
The underlining concern of every major industry that attended the consortium, especially Plant Automation, was – how to unleash the true potential of IoT Deployments?
Although the answer to this question is elaborate and requires actual scalable, functioning deployments to verify, we will enumerate and enlighten some of the key points collected from reputed sources.
What Is Internet Of Things in automation industries?
Internet of Things (IoT) is an inter-network of connected industrial ecosystems and platforms. This is achieved by linking any processor-embedded device with physical objects such as vehicles and buildings through powerful networks.
Within an automation industry, IoT can be used to interconnect the entire manufacturing and supply chain process for synchronous and extremely fast output.
What’s Bugs IoT & what’s The Fix?
Edge Computing platforms - Analytics
Automation experts predict that by 2020, we will have over 30 billion inter connected objects. And the trend has already begun with more and more devices, machines, structures, automobiles and other objects. This multiplying network of things however is resulting in a significant increase in the volume of data. Better analytics have always been a challenge while handling large amounts of data due to problems such as latency. Until now, raw data was being dumped into the Cloud for further examination, leading to higher latency and data fragmentation. However, this trend is changing as more companies are now analyzing and fragmenting data at the source before transferring it to the Cloud.
Companies are now realizing that if they are expecting to get business value and patterns out of storing unstructured data on Cloud, they will end up spending huge amounts of resources with little output. Edge Computing platforms such as Fog Computing, a product of tech giants such as CISCO, ARM, Intel and Microsoft, has identified that a Cloud-only model has made IoT unsustainable, although exploding with potential. Fog adds a hierarchy of elements between Cloud and end-point devices and gateways to meet the challenges related to latency, network bandwidth, reliability and security.
