Internet of Things (IoT) Services

If you have sensors that you would like to connect to devices that, in turn, generate data that you would like to automatically create a response, predict an outcome, or forecast an upcoming event, you will want all these to be the “Things” in IoT. From handheld devices instantly registering an open space on a shelf or sensors telling you that it is likely you will have a maintenance event in the next few days, The Internet of Things gives you the power to predict, prevent, and schedule.

Like most technologic advances, the efficiency of effort, convenience, and access to data that can be used for multiple purposes leads the chart. The “things” that it adds to your business are connectivity and the elimination of manually operating a different device for every task, the ability to personalize connections with employees and customers, real-time monitoring of critical areas of operation, and conservation of resources by automated monitoring and adjustment.

You will read about many great uses for IoT that sound out of reach or unrealistic, and in some cases, they are a bit much for what you need to improve profitability and efficiency. Still, many things are there for the taking and can change your entire business. Imagine being the first to link your product with your engineering and service center and having the ability to predict a failure or fix an issue over the phone. Not only will your customer be amazed, but you will be able to collect valuable proprietary data.

Building from Business Process Monitoring, the monitoring aspects that are now available to you and your products or services can now take much of the legwork out of your business process. From ordering to shipping to delivery to answering a technical question, IoT opens the door. With the correct software automating tasks can take hours and whittle them down to seconds, minutes, and simple steps. Look at the entire process and identify the areas that can be automated with IoT.
