IoT is a blanket term that encompasses a vast array of web enabled smart devices.
Sensors are sensing environmental pressures or temperatures or even bio-metric changes in our bodies.
IoT devices connected to the internet not only capture a whole bunch of data from these sensors, but they can talk to each other and they give us insights about what to do next.
IoT and construction sites are identifying risks before they happen.
It could be anything from poor air quality on a floor to a worker getting too close to a piece of equipment. It could potentially increase safety.
One way is by using presence detection or detect an entity’s location to understand and indicate exactly where individual workers are or materials are or where equipment is and the belief here is that we could increase individual environmental awareness.
The Interest for Industrial IoT at construction sites is growing. There has been an increased enthusiasm just to get more data onto the site but data alone isn’t enough. What we need is real time actionable information.
In order to get actionable information more sensors and IoT devices on the site need to be deployed so that they can be embedded in materials.
Intelligent tools tell us how a drill is performing, or how a welding machine is exactly executing & what problem is occurring, to reduce cut practices through manual labor & optimize on efficiency.
Not only intelligent devices at a construction site, but throughout building operations to give us continued insights on how that building as a whole is performing.
If the site supervisor logs in for the start of his work day by turning on the ignition in his company truck.
The construction company can see him in his truck en-route to his current project.
His truck’s performance metrics, such as mileage and stops are recorded automatically for better fuel management.
Arriving at the job site, he is checked in automatically. His crew and sub-trades are notified that he is on site, so they can begin reporting to him.
The supervisor has access to the location of employees and heavy equipment at all time, further ensuring the safety of workers and preventing loss of valuable assets.
Tasks can be automated using digital forms connected to the back office of the supervisor’s construction company.
Workflows for deliveries, change orders, invoicing, scheduling, inspections and quality control are all optimized to keep the project on schedule and on budget.
This streamlines his admin work and daily record keeping.
Predictive analysis helps minimize downtime by tracking operating hours and analyzing usage of equipment notifying him and head office, of maintenance needs.
As his shift ends, a temporary portable security system around the perimeter of the site switches on.
It will alert him and his team to any motion after hours.
All ideas in this blog are to provide a visualisation scenario of the various and vast array of things that can be done with IoT, with intelligent edge devices connected to sensors.
Embeodos had an application to work on for embedding location monitoring devices in helmets, safety jackets & safety belts of on field site crew & engineers. The application was to identify at a given point of time, the location of any person logged into the system.
Remote enable & disable of certain access areas was also asked for, during application design to ensure Role Based access to certain areas based on physical parameters. The Site Dashboard would log this data and create a virtual map of entities that contain these intelligent devices.
It was an efficient application on safety & management geared towards construction facilities.
This application can be ported to any large scale industrial area, where worker visibility, safety and security is concerned. This application can also be extended to track & trace equipments as well.
The cost of acquiring data from 100 – 200 people on a construction site, + plus monitoring their movements in real time is high.
But comes with huge amounts of data with the sole purpose of generating actionable insights into optimizing operations & processes on the shop floor.
Companies should have an appetite of investing into data acquiring projects & solutions that will enable them to produce insights and solve problems a lot quicker than intuition & experience!

Public, private, and hybrid clouds each have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which one to use depends on the specific needs of the organization.
Public clouds offer scalability and cost-effectiveness, while private clouds offer control and security.
Hybrid clouds offer the best of both worlds.
It is important for organizations to evaluate their specific needs and choose the type of cloud that best meets their requirements.
Cloud computing can deliver tremendous amounts of business value to organizations, but it requires a strategic approach and a willingness to embrace change. Organizations that are able to do this, can reap the benefits of cloud computing and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Today, almost every manufacturing customer that is digitally transforming becomes partly a software company.
This is because digital transformation in manufacturing involves the integration of advanced technologies such as software, cloud services, data analytics, and artificial intelligence into traditional manufacturing operations.
These technologies enable manufacturers to improve efficiency, increase productivity, and gain insights from data to make better decisions.
By incorporating software into their operations, manufacturers can automate and streamline processes, improve communication and collaboration within the organization, and gain access to advanced analytics tools to make data-driven decisions.

1) Familiarity with traditional methods: Long-standing businesses may be reluctant to move away from the familiar ways of working that have been successful for them in the past.
Whether a System-on-Module (SOM) or a System-on-Chip (SoC) is better depends on the specific requirements and constraints of your project. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages and the choice between the two will depend on the specific needs of your application.
One of the key ways that IoT cellular connectivity has enabled the rise of micromobility is by providing a means of communication between the vehicle and the internet.
This allows for real-time tracking and monitoring of the vehicle’s location, usage, and maintenance needs, as well as enabling features such as remote locking and unlocking, and the ability to pay for rides using a smartphone app.
#iot cellular connectivity has also made it possible for micromobility companies to offer services such as shared scooter fleets, where users can locate and unlock a nearby scooter using their smartphone.
The move to remote and hybrid work, as well as rising gas prices, may have contributed to the growth of the #micromobility industry.
One of the core things in your digital transformation journey is to make sure people are included in how you improve your processes.
Because work is typically siloed among machines, shop floors, products, data, and systems, and business processes it can be difficult to work together.
Creating applications can help bridge the gaps and allow your divisions to become more united by analyzing and comparing data together.
Developing lowcode applications doesn’t require users to know coding, anyone can create an application.
Domain experts and #IT professionals can work together to create solutions that bring more value to the business.

Addressing fraud at charging points can be a complex task.
For commercial charging stations, fraud prevention measures may include implementing secure payment systems, conducting regular audits and inspections, and monitoring usage patterns to identify any unusual activity.
As the telecos power ahead with new age internet technologies, like IoT, AR/VR, Blockchain and with the obvious use of AI, there is a large market that they can capture.
Internet of Things (IoT) services are becoming increasingly important as more and more devices are connected to the internet.
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the use of connected devices and sensors to gather and analyze data in industrial settings. In terms of calculating the service life of an industrial asset, IIoT can play a role in several ways.
To calculate the service life of an industrial asset, you will need to consider these factors and make an educated estimate based on your specific circumstances. You may also want to consult industry standards or guidelines for guidance on expected service life for different types of assets.
chnically-advanced controller that works on real-time data and system integrations can solve a lot of trouble. Embedos EB Series (EM Bose) is currently amongst the best liquid-level controllers for tank manufacturers & liquid production industries like dairy, water, juice, oil, wine etc when it comes to measuring the level of multiple liquids without changing device configuration.
Combining with Temperature Input interfaces on Thermocouple / RTD inputs, the same controller can measure & display liquid level and temperature of the environment / tank.
Compatible with both vertical and horizontal tanks, EM Bose is a tested and heavily deployed industrial solution. It calculates the volume of the liquid in the tank taking inputs from a pressure sensor mounted at the bottom of the tank. The data collected on the volume is displayed in real-time via a digital screen.
Maintenance is a demanding and taxing process. Not knowing when to schedule a maintenance run or send the maintenance team is even more menacing. With the advent of the fourth Industrial revolution, connected devices makes information about machines more available than before.
Your machines have a lot to tell you about when they need to be maintained, if you’re listening that is. Thus, the best way to optimize your machine health is by monitoring it.
A huge advantage of monitoring your systems is knowing when to accurately plan a maintenance run for your machines.
The internet in the last decade has proved to be a pivotal enabler of functionalities which would have been deemed impossible by its previous generations.
Industry 4.0 partly deals with interpreting machine data and figuring out patterns from raw data to convert into an algorithm.
Once these machines become Artificially Intelligent, they can learn from these algorithms to find out when it is going to need maintenance or when the machine is going to have a breakdown and take appropriate actions of fixing its machine cycles on its own.
We have not reached that level of technology or trust, where humans program machines and allow them to take decisions on their own. But, we have certainly dawned upon the concept of predicting the period when maintenance could be needed for a particular machine.
By installing automation controllers on machines, we receive data on the functioning of that instrument. Using this data, we can create a pattern of when the appliance is working in pristine condition and when it is not. Using this pattern, an algorithm is created to accurately detect when the machine could need its next maintenance run. Thus we reduce the requirement of a preventive maintenance run by accurately predicting when the machine needs maintenance the most.
Predictive Maintenance will also deliver on reporting the condition of the machine at all times, thus keeping track of its health.
Why is Predictive Maintenance so crucial?
Well for humans, not knowing what the future lies for you is considered to be a good thing. Significantly, it is quite the opposite for machines. For instance:
Early maintenance / Preventive Maintenance could risk loss of revenue for the machine needs to stop functioning for the maintenance run to be carried out, only to find out that the machine did not need maintenance in the first place.
Late maintenance would cause greater loss of revenue as not only the appliance has to be stopped, but some machine parts could also need replacement due to excessive use, corrosion or wear and tear.
In some industries & factories, condition reporting is a manual task. Staff members have a habit of submitting hand written reports of machine health after each shift. This irregular information format makes it difficult to assess issues and condition trends.
Accurately planning a maintenance run will lower machine downtime.Thus, assets will be able to deliver with greater efficiency at a reduced maintenance cost.
IOT is nothing but transferring machine data from one platform to another(normally a cloud platform) using the internet. Predictive maintenance is a huge application of what the Internet of Things can do with machine data.
Embedos being an Industrial IOT company is a big believer in predictive maintenance. We design our devices generally based on customer requirements with a default option of reporting when machine health deteriorates.
Machine cycle time, duration, output, idle times etc is what is reported about to predict when maintenance is needed the most.
With IOT, condition reporting can be automated with access to loads of data, thus allowing system generated reports to help in more accurate decision making. By collecting and displaying data on a consolidated dashboard, maintenance runs can be evaluated and scheduled before the condition becomes severe.
Maintenance is a calculated and a tactical process for manufacturers and product developers alike. Almost 30 percent of planned maintenance schedules are ineffective with regard to its timing. Preventive maintenance is too costly and is deemed futile by consuming essential resources needlessly.
As Machine to Machine(M2M) technology progresses, human intervention for asset upkeep will not be required, thus defining the true power of predictive maintenance.

As technology evolves, the demand for advanced skills will only increase — unless we find ways to catch up.
It has been predicted thatIoTwill be a part of the most fundamental functionalities of each business area by the year 2020. Set up by different industry specialists, utilization of IoT will lead to improved business proficiency, productivity and quality work hours. There is no doubt that IoT will revolutionize the way we do our daily things, but we might have a terrible skills gap to match the demand of such a technology.
The concept of IoT is very clear which describes a pure interconnected world. It’s a world where every device of every shape and size are developed with smart capabilities so that they can connect, interact and exchange the data. It’s a world with technology that will make life easier, simpler and better.
IoT is a vast mixture of hardware, software, firmware and networking. To implement this, a core IoT team will require an electrical engineer, embedded systems designer, an embedded software developer, a back-end developer, a front-end developer and a product manager. For IoT startups like Embedos, these 7 positions are filled in by 3 people for want of people having relevant industry skills.
Skills needed for IoT projects to succeed:
With IoT, we need to bridge the gap between the data coming from your IoT infrastructure into your ERP application. You can have a better opportunity to increase your sales, build out new applications, new services and discover new lines of revenue for your business.
1) Security and data analysis- Millions of devices are connected to the IoT. So the amount of data needs to be encrypted, analyses and protected. Skilled engineers, architects, and analysts will be needed to gather and process the information.
2) Networking-As the IoT is all about connectivity, network engineers should focus on the skills like common protocols and keep track of a range of devices.
3) Business intelligence-All of the data collected through the IoT should be turned into actionable intelligence for businesses. They should focus on skills like sensor data analysis, data center management, programming on Hadoop.
4) Cyber-Security-The data attacks in IoT have become a serious problem. Therefore, there is a growing demand for professionals who know about cryptography, managing keys and sealing the networks. IoT security engineers will form an integral part of this field.
Challenges faced by IoT-
The IoT digitizes physical assets, sensors, devices, machines, gateways, and the network. It connects people to things and things to things in real-time. A typical IoT network can grow rapidly resulting in an exponential increase in the variety, velocity and the overall volume of the data. This data opens opportunities for significant data creation and revenue generation but the real challenge for IoT environments is how to analyze the large volume of information from all sources and take action from all in real-time.
What does this mean?
The IT environment has made the need for new analytics, approaches, and technology more urgent. Achieving desired business objectives requires the ability to act in real-time, to take advantage of opportunities and to address the problem quickly. In the pre-internet of things era, an issue in a typical supply of chain scenario could be addressed in a 2 to 3 days cycle for satisfactory results but in IoT time to action is in minutes, seconds, or microseconds. This could limit the utilization of its true potential benefits. The configuration process tends to get lengthy and complex while managing a large number of IoT devices. To simplify the process the systems should be built with a thoughtful design, standardized configuration tools, methods, and interface.
Bridging the IoT skills gap!
How can organizations plan to bridge the IoT related skills gaps?
It’s essential to plan for the IoT related skills gap that is currently present. An Organisation’s IoT implementation will not be successful if its focus is only on the technology. If it does not include its workforce in transitioning their skills gap, they will not be able to take advantage of this technology or even invent using this technology.
A Company has to invest in its workspace and change the mindset of its workers, that they will have to continuously evolve their skill sets. Think about the pace of technology and think about how we can invent new ways of technology. We must continue to reinvent ourselves and continue to evolve our skills. It’s a different contract between the employer and employee now. It’s not “I am hiring you to do this job”. It’s more like “I am hiring you to the job and I want you to continue to learn and evolve with the requirements of this job”
Are advancements in technology causing the growing IoT skills gap?
Technology is ever-evolving since the start of the 21st century. We have seen huge advancements. In 2002 iRobot Corporation released the first version of its Roomba vacuum cleaning robot. In 2004, Facebook was founded. In 2007, Apple introduced a touch screen phone with the iPhone. In 2010, 3D TV started to become more widely available. In 2013, Elon Musk announced “Hyperloop”, a giant tube transport system. In 2017, Quantum computing showed signs of becoming a practical technology and in 2018, Google announced Cloud AutoML, a suite of pre-trained systems that could make AI simpler to use. These advancements are showing no signs of slowing down which is leaving businesses falling short of employees with relevant IT skills.
In 2016, 20% of organizations were experiencing visible disruptions due to the IT skills gap. It’s now 75%. Employers are desperately searching for qualified candidates. In an increasingly growing market, employers are willing to pay higher salaries for applicants with up to date knowledge and who can bring new skills to their business.
How Augmentation reality is solving the Industrial skills gap?
Manufacturing and the service value chain jobs are most affected but the skills gap is more than just a retirement problem. There aren’t systems in place to train new generations of skilled workers. There is increasing competition from other job types. Meanwhile, physical assets are becoming more complex. Companies need to slow down the skills, drain maximize current skills and refill the skills. The answer lies in industrial augmented reality. It gives users a way to overlay digital data on top of the physical assets and environment which is a game-changer when it comes to closing the skills gap. Industrial AR provides a more efficient way to train workers using interactive digital ways of physical assets so workers learn faster and retain more by overlaying instructions, equipment status or performance data, complex or frequently changing assets. Inexperienced workers can also virtually connect with experts.
Outsourcing IoT security
IoT represents a technological revolution. There will be 24 billion connected devices by 2020. By 2020, 95% of cloud service failures will be the customer’s fault. At present, there is no standard for device-level security. The primary challenge to secure IoT implementation is that every device becomes a point of potential incursion. Outsourcing your IoT security requires you to make a detailed risk assessment of your operations. You need to determine the type of provider you need, what they will be responsible for and what you will maintain internally.
Digitization & IoT-
The magic word is digitization. It presents huge challenges to companies but it also means great business opportunities because the trend at the moment is the IoT. Deutsche Telekom has developed a solution that allows us to remotely operate our rapid action roller shutter doors in cases of maintenance and service. It helps the person directly via telephone, by service without a technician. He provides the m2m cards for communications with the IoT. It provides a reliable, high-speed network and data security.
Below is a list of skills that are in high demand in the field of IoT. A full-fledged all-round IoT experience will need expertise in at least 5 of them.
PROGRAMMING SKILLS
For IoT devices to perform useful functions, their microcontrollers need to be programmed. The most popular programming languages in use today in IoT are:
C
C++
Java
Python
Likewise note that the Arduino prototyping stage gives a library of C/C++ capacities for engineer use, and is broadly utilized in the IoT space, so creating mastery in this would be a generally excellent thought.
HARDWARE ENGINEERING
The accomplishment of IoT gadgets relies as much on its equipment structure, as on its product. Some skills to master include:
AutoCAD drafting
Computer-aided design (CAD)
An understanding of electronics, mechanical and network communication.
Sensor technology
PCB Designing
Soldering & Quality Testing
Embedded software Development
Data Analytics
IoT isn’t just about items being associated with the Internet. Its genuine worth originates from the data that is extracted from these keen gadgets.
IoT organizations need information wizards to gather, store, and break down the information from their devices with the goal that they can utilize them for brilliant actionable intelligence.
Abilities in Hadoop, SAS, R and NoSQL, just as business intelligence and networking are what IoT enrollment specialists are searching for.
Front End Development
For IoT devices to end up prevalent they have to have viable, easy to understand and attractive interfaces. IoT products will come in a wide range of shapes and measures and the individuals who can help plan them need to have elevated amounts of client experience, without weakening its viability will be profoundly employable.
Mobile App Development:
A part of the front end UI is the ease of access to information. Mobile Phones being used by every one of us is be a source of visualization of the data that is sent by our smart devices. Mobile Phones will be able to show data interactively gathered by IoT devices, thereby increasing opportunities for Mobile App developers in the IoT domain.
Cloud Computing:
Cloud computing unlocks a new dimension in software development. The cloud allows programmers to create, host, and execute applications that can scale up much faster.
We have viewed the potential of ‘The Cloud’, and seen it explode. Essentially because it is less expensive and quicker than customary server farms. Today organizations and IT firms are utilizing cloud and cloud applications like never before.
Skills like database management and coding are fundamental for Cloud Computing.
NETWORKING
The way to IoT is the gadgets’ capacity to speak with different devices. IoT organizations will need individuals who have mastery in current systems administration models and innovations, remote associations who can enable machine to machine communication with ease.
Top barriers to IT transformation include:
1) Technology silo
2) Outdated infrastructure
3) New skills/Expertise needed.
IT organizations are getting older which means that people are getting closer to retirement. There’s not as much new talent coming into IT organizations and most people worry about this. Many organizations look to new technology to transform their companies. Yet 94% of HR leaders say that they have difficulties accessing the skills required for transformation initiatives. And 29% say that they are being held back by a lack of digital skills amongst their workspace. So by bringing 800 technical resources who live in this environment every day, by bringing the partnerships with leading technology and understanding those technologies, understanding those dependencies can close the skills gaps.

This is because digital transformation in manufacturing involves the integration of advanced technologies such as software, cloud services, data analytics, and artificial intelligence into traditional manufacturing operations.
These technologies enable manufacturers to improve efficiency, increase productivity, and gain insights from data to make better decisions.
By incorporating software into their operations, manufacturers can automate and streamline processes, improve communication and collaboration within the organization, and gain access to advanced analytics tools to make data-driven decisions.
Manufacturers who have not yet adopted cloud computing may be hesitant to do so for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common reasons include:
1) Familiarity with traditional methods: Long-standing businesses may be reluctant to move away from the familiar ways of working that have been successful for them in the past.
Whether a System-on-Module (SOM) or a System-on-Chip (SoC) is better depends on the specific requirements and constraints of your project. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages and the choice between the two will depend on the specific needs of your application.
One of the key ways that IoT cellular connectivity has enabled the rise of micromobility is by providing a means of communication between the vehicle and the internet.
This allows for real-time tracking and monitoring of the vehicle’s location, usage, and maintenance needs, as well as enabling features such as remote locking and unlocking, and the ability to pay for rides using a smartphone app.
#iot cellular connectivity has also made it possible for micromobility companies to offer services such as shared scooter fleets, where users can locate and unlock a nearby scooter using their smartphone.
The move to remote and hybrid work, as well as rising gas prices, may have contributed to the growth of the #micromobility industry.
One of the core things in your digital transformation journey is to make sure people are included in how you improve your processes.
Because work is typically siloed among machines, shop floors, products, data, and systems, and business processes it can be difficult to work together.
Creating applications can help bridge the gaps and allow your divisions to become more united by analyzing and comparing data together.
Developing lowcode applications doesn’t require users to know coding, anyone can create an application.
Domain experts and #IT professionals can work together to create solutions that bring more value to the business.
Doing so allows for #governance and #security to stay firmly intact, while solutions are driven by value and impact on the business.
Addressing fraud at charging points can be a complex task.
For commercial charging stations, fraud prevention measures may include implementing secure payment systems, conducting regular audits and inspections, and monitoring usage patterns to identify any unusual activity.
As the telecos power ahead with new age internet technologies, like IoT, AR/VR, Blockchain and with the obvious use of AI, there is a large market that they can capture.
Internet of Things (IoT) services are becoming increasingly important as more and more devices are connected to the internet.
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the use of connected devices and sensors to gather and analyze data in industrial settings. In terms of calculating the service life of an industrial asset, IIoT can play a role in several ways.
To calculate the service life of an industrial asset, you will need to consider these factors and make an educated estimate based on your specific circumstances. You may also want to consult industry standards or guidelines for guidance on expected service life for different types of assets.
chnically-advanced controller that works on real-time data and system integrations can solve a lot of trouble. Embedos EB Series (EM Bose) is currently amongst the best liquid-level controllers for tank manufacturers & liquid production industries like dairy, water, juice, oil, wine etc when it comes to measuring the level of multiple liquids without changing device configuration.
Combining with Temperature Input interfaces on Thermocouple / RTD inputs, the same controller can measure & display liquid level and temperature of the environment / tank.
Compatible with both vertical and horizontal tanks, EM Bose is a tested and heavily deployed industrial solution. It calculates the volume of the liquid in the tank taking inputs from a pressure sensor mounted at the bottom of the tank. The data collected on the volume is displayed in real-time via a digital screen.
