Smart Manufacturing

The IoT/IIoT is enabling processes and enhancing productivity on the factory floors. Manufacturing equipment and machinery equipped with sensors communicate with one another, process information and make real-time decisions with little or no human intervention. As more complex technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence continue to advance, production processes will soon be fully digitized and intelligently automated.

Security and Surveillance

The IoT/IIoT is helping create safer environments through security and surveillance solutions. High-definition cameras allow remote monitoring of roads, assets and facilities and transmit alerts over the network to dispatch law enforcement. By monitoring real-time conditions, security processes and systems can also be enhanced.

Medical and Health Care Systems

From wearables to diagnostic devices and bedside infotainment systems, the IoT/IIoT is transforming the health care industry to ensure better-quality patient care, minimize medical errors, improve workflows and inventories, and more.

Defense

Infrastructures and assets integrated with sensors, actuators, and control systems enable fast, accurate data collection for more efficient and effective defense operations. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS), commonly known as drones, for example, are used in situations where manned flights can be too risky. Images are sent in real-time for intelligence, surveillance or reconnaissance.
