In our blog, our IoT (Internet of Things) experts provide insights into the latest IoT trends, technologies, various IoT devices and applications as well as practical experience reports and best practices. Find out everything you need to know about IoT and stay up to date.
Without RUD conveyor chains nothing works in many power stations, industrial plants and coal mines. To prevent outages chains can now be monitored via Telekom’s IoT Cloud.
IoT projects often require high initial investment. The IoT Solution Optimizer enables companies to save time and money on planning their IoT solution.
Sustainable Management with the Internet of Things
IoT solutions not only help you to manage your business more economically; they can also help companies to achieve their ecological objectives faster. A new study highlights the sustainable effect of the Internet of Things.
Ernst Meister: Connected Lubricant Tanks Provide Optimal Service
Efficient, economical and future-proof, Ernst Meister GmbH has connected its tank drums on the IoT to optimize its supply chain. Thanks to this connectivity the SME has also been able to extend its business model.
From time recording and location of tools, equipment and vehicle fleet to securing the excavation pit, many construction site operations can already be digitized.
Connected Production Eases Burden on Skilled Workers
As machines and manufacturing processes grow increasingly complicated companies need to rethink the work environment of their skilled production workers. The Internet of Things has a central role to play in this process.
The new Smarter Production trendbook shows how digitization optimizes value creation by production facilities in three central areas. Three SMBs demonstrate how to make a success of it.
Construction companies could improve the utilization of their construction machinery significantly, putting it to optimal use. But to do so they would require a transparent overview of the location and utilization of their machinery and equipment.
In-house digitization is seen as a key value driver for industrial enterprises, but all the value-adding processes must first be connected. The Smarter Production trendbook is full of practical hints on how to go about it.
As smart manufacturing gains momentum, data-driven business models based on the Internet of Things are adding smart services to complement products – and improve the customer experience. Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG shows how to go about it.
Technologies like IoT (Internet of Things), 5G, or AI (Artificial Intelligence) enable industrial enterprises to improve employees’ working conditions – in the warehouse, in field service, and in production.
Digital value creation results from the benefits that smart products and services offer. Enterprises should develop them close to their core business. Best example: 3D printing and augmented reality in remote maintenance.
Digital twins for machines and production equipment are an important part of the Industrial Internet of Things, or Industry 4.0 for short. Digital Twins use IoT data to optimize both production and products.
Stale air due to defective ventilator fans? Never again. Ziehl-Abegg, a family firm, uses the Internet of Things to provide predictive maintenance of its ventilation and air conditioning technology and to reduce machine downtimes and unnecessary maintenance work.
Where are my goods or machines and what condition are they in? For many companies this is information worth its weight in gold. With the Low Cost Tracker it is worth it even for one-time shipments.
Boosting industrial productivity via remote maintenance
Petko GmbH, a German manufacturer of compressed air systems, uses the Internet of Things to provide remote servicing and predictive maintenance. The digitalization has advantages for both the company and its customers.
