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.
At BASF’s Münster location 450 vehicles move raw materials and finished products around. Thanks to small, smart, networked IoT service buttons near the transfer points where trucks pick up the consignment BASF’s Münster on-site logistics is now orchestrated. Once the forklift has placed the containers, drums or pallets on a trailer bed the operator presses the button to call a free truck. That saves time and fuel because drivers no longer need to search for laden trailers and empty runs can be avoided.
Economic and Ecological Benefits
Logistics at BASF in Münster is just one example of how connectivity via the Internet of Things (IoT) delivers not only economic but also ecological benefits. IoT sensor technology and the cellular network make remote maintenance more efficient and more sustainable. The midrange enterprise Petko, for example, monitors its compressed air systems, which are in use at different customer locations, from its headquarters in Leuna. That makes many service visits superfluous, saving time and manpower costs and significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions by the company’s vehicle fleet.

IoT solutions can both reduce costs and do good for the environment – in building management, in inventory logistics and in outdoor lighting. You will find further examples from practice and the wide rage of benefits for businesses in the new Transforma Insights and Deutsche Telekom IoT study The Sustainability Effect of IoT.

Leading cleaning technology provider Kärcher has linked its autonomous scrubber driers to Telekom’s worldwide IoT network, making both remote access and digital fleet management possible.
On a construction site, in the production shop and in transportation and logistics SIM cards are a key component of connectivity. That is why, subject to the application area, an IoT SIM must fulfill special M2M requirements.
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.
