n recent years, the frequency of seeing the word "IoT" on a daily basis has increased dramatically.
However, even if you know the meaning of the words, many people may not have an image of using IoT in the manufacturing industry, or even if they are interested, they may feel that the hurdles for introduction are high.
Therefore, this time, I would like to introduce the utilization of "IoT" in the instrumentation field.

"IoT" has a great impact in every industry.
The main field in which IoT is expected to play an active role in the manufacturing industry is more likely to be "maintenance and management of factories and equipment" in a wide range including energy saving and environmental management rather than manufacturing itself.

For example, if you aggregate and visualize various site information, you will find muri, waste, and unevenness, and you will be able to perform optimal site operations. If you analyze the collected site data with AI technology, you will be able to know the optimal maintenance time.
In the instrumentation field, predictive maintenance by aggregating and visualizing various on-site information is positioned as the main focus of IoT utilization.

In the field of IoT utilization, apart from the factors such as "accuracy" and "responsiveness" required for the sensor itself, the "amount" and "diversity" of the information to be collected, and how to collect them by low-cost means. The important issue is whether it can be unified.
In order to pursue the "quantity" and "diversity" of information, it is necessary to retrofit new sensors to the existing environment and connect the information possessed by existing stand-alone devices to the network.

"Utilization of IoT and wireless flow measurement" explains in detail the main points to realize them at low cost!
