Access to industrial data through web services to manage production, services and control both in the field and remotely. Data is transmitted using APIs via the IoT platform to the analytical systems. The results are transmitted to machines or to the monitoring dashboard. 

• Remote services, maintenance and controls
• Controlling production equipment
• Using IoT gateways to connect to existing Can Bus, RS232/RS485 Modbus and Profibus networks

Example scenario: a piece of equipment requires maintenance after every 10,000 hours of operation. A sensor detects when any component is working at a higher or lower percentage level than normal, or if it stops working. Sensors can send an alert across an IoT platform to a dashboard and create a service ticket, including the location, type of machine and component.

• Remote diagnosis and automatic machine diagnosis
• Preventative and predictive maintenance
• Using third parties to monitor machines

A GSM + GPS module or WiFi + BLE tag transmits the location of your mobile equipment via an IoT platform to an analytical module. The result is displayed on a dashboard, enabling you to track all your assets.

• Smart asset management
• Remote asset monitoring
• Real-time tracking of mobile assets
• Smart fleet management
• Asset performance management
• Inventory management
• Indoor asset location

Sensors can detect poisonous gases and measure air quality. They transmit data and alerts over an IoT platform to an analytical module, and the results are then displayed on a dashboard to inform interested parties.

• Monitoring toxic gases and indoor air quality
• Monitoring the temperature in an industrial area
• Controlling industrial heating, ventilation and air conditioning
• Monitoring ozone, gas and temperature in industrial environments
• Monitoring noise pollution

Smart measuring sensors transmit data using an IoT platform to an analytical module, and the results are displayed on a dashboard to provide better energy monitoring and capacity planning. If maintenance is required, they raise a service ticket, including the location.

• Smart measurement and optimization of energy consumption
• Monitoring energy (electricity, oil, gas, etc.)
• Solar energy management

A streetlight bulb needs to be replaced after 10,000 hours of operation. Sensors send an alert to a dashboard and create a service ticket that includes the location and type of bulb. A motion detection sensor can detect movement by a pedestrian, bicycle or car and react to this by switching on a series of lights.

• Maintenance of street lighting
• Smart and connected street lighting

A waste bin needs to be emptied once it is 80% full or more. Sensors send an alert over an IoT platform to a dashboard and create a service ticket that includes the location of the waste bin. A collection route is proposed that covers other full waste bins to save time, costs and fuel.

• Waste management

Smart measuring sensors transmit data over an IoT platform to an analytical module, and the results are displayed on a dashboard for improved monitoring and scheduling. This enables the user to monitor elements such as the flow of water or wastewater, leaks and water quality.

• Monitoring water and wastewater
• Reporting repairs for water and wastewater pipelines
• Leak monitoring system
• Smart quality monitoring

A GSM + GPS module transmits the location of your mobile assets. The sensor sends data about items with the assistance of a GSM module over an IoT platform to an analytical module, and the results are displayed on a dashboard.

• Transport and logistics

A sensor can detect whether a parking space is empty or not. It sends the data to the IoT platform and the analytical module. The user can see where there are empty parking spaces close to their destination.

• Smart parking

A car can use a GSM + GPS module to transmit data – such as its location or maintenance details – to the car's owner, the garage, the emergency services, etc. A car driver can also send a request to switch on the air conditioning before they arrive.

Sensors for utilities (power, oil, gas, water, etc.), temperature, light, door movements, air quality and movement transmit data over an IoT platform to an analytical module, and the results are displayed on a dashboard to improve monitoring, reduce consumption and make scheduling more efficient.

Smart meters keep an eye on utilities (electricity, gas, water, etc.). Sensors for temperature, light, carbon dioxide levels, oxygen, open or closed doors, movement, etc. transmit data over an IoT platform to an analytical module and to a dashboard. This enables you to track everything that is happening in your home while you are at work or on the go. Smart fridges tell you which products have expired and what you need to buy. The fridge can set the temperature based on the food it contains and the external temperature. You can track how many calories and how much cholesterol you are consuming based on the information the manufacturer provides, which the system collects from APIs and RFID/NFC/other tags.

Sensors for utilities (power, oil, gas, water, etc.), temperature, light, door movements, air quality and movement transmit data over an IoT platform to an analytical module, and the results are displayed on a dashboard. The system manages and monitors all the buildings, units, rooms and offices in the company.

As well as smart tags on products, sensors can measure the temperature, light, door movements, air quality and movements in the shop and transmit them over an IoT platform to an analytical module. Shop staff can consult the information and use it to monitor and manage the shop. The data can also be used to improve sales and scheduling.

Based on air humidity, dryness of the soil and other data captured by sensors, the analytical module receives data over an IoT platform, enabling it to calculate the amount of water and fertilizer that needs to be given to various plants. You can install an alarm to initiate an action if a predefined level is reached.

A GSM + GPS module can track the location of your child. You can see where your child is via a dashboard or app. You could also monitor elderly people. Details of their location or health are sent over the IoT platform to an analytical module.

• Tracking children
• Tracking and monitoring elderly people
• Monitoring your own health

If (almost) all the above applications are integrated in a city, it can be called a smart city. Parking is more flexible, street lighting reacts to passers-by, air quality is continuously monitored, etc.
