Applications of IoT in Manufacturing

Manufacturing is essential for realizing all products and is an indispensable element of the innovation chain. Traditional manufacturing companies currently face several challenges such as rapid technological changes, inventory problems, shortened innovation, short product life cycles, volatile demand, low prices, highly customized products, and the ability to compete in the global markets. These challenges are compelling manufacturers to embrace new technologies such as the Internet of things. The Internet of things is the next big technological revolution. It is a system of smart enabled devices, from vacuum cleaners to cars. The manufacturing industry is leading in the adoption of IoT due to the fact that IoT has several applications in manufacturing. The industrial internet of things has boosted the productivity, security, and overall efficiency of various organizations. Manufacturing is the largest IIoT market. This paper provides several applications of IoT or IIoT in manufacturing. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Uwakwe C. Chukwu | Abayomi Ajayi-Majebi | Sarhan M.
