How Automotive Industry is One Step Ahead with
IIoT
The internet of things is not a new concept
anymore. What began as asking the weather for
the day has quickly evolved into asking digital
assistants to perform a string of connected
tasks. These connected tasks called routines set
off one action after the other. For example,
once you turn off your alarm, the next action is
set into motion to open your curtains, play your
morning playlist, and turn on your coffee maker.
This happens because of the Internet of things.

• The Internet is in everyday things smart blinds,
  smart plugs, and your digital assistants
  integration with music services.
• According to Gartner, there will be around 20
  billion connected things by 2020.
• Similarly, Industrial IoT Solutions streamline
  the operations carried out in the factories by
  connecting all the machines with the internet.
• They take the daily taxing, time-consuming,
  repetitive tasks and automates them. The
  automation saves a lot of time, resources and
  reduces the risk of human error.
• Lets explore the internet functions in the
  automotive industry.
• Reasons why IIoT is required in the Automotive
  Industry
• The automotive industry is one that uses heavy
  machinery to make heavy machinery. Humans are
  prone to making errors, but machines, when
  programmed right, have much lesser odds of
  making mistakes.
• In the automobile industry, making a mistake even
  in a single unit can cost someone their life. So
  a lot of responsibility goes into making
  vehicles.

• The requirement of vehicles, however, goes up
  year after year. In 2019, the automobile
  industry expects to sell about 79 million units
  worldwide.

How IIoT is improving the Automobile
Manufacturing Process Vehicle manufacturing
generally happens in two parts, manufacturing of
parts and then the assembly of the vehicle. And
both the processes need to be precise. An error
of a centimeter would render a part
useless. But then the industrial internet of
things is not called the fourth wave of the
industrial revolution for no reason. Birds Eye
View IIoT solutions show a birds eye view of
everything. Once equipped in your business, it
can also predict the long-term issues your
products may face. An intelligent tool can
calculate the longevity of the vehicle making
hardware that you are using. IIot solutions will
also take care of efficiency. With the help of
the right sensors on machines, you can build
robotic arms that can carefully carry parts of
vehicles from point A to B or assemble the
vehicles.

Software Updates Industrial IoT solutions help
you cut down on errors this way. Machines
enabled with IIoT can also work round the clock
and can be upgraded by software
updates. Predictive Asset Tracking IIoT also
gives the ability to check up on the health of
the machines itself. Generally, in an automobile
manufacturing factory, production stops every
month to conduct maintenance. With predictive
asset tracking, the machine will be able to
alert the support staff whenever it requires
maintenance. This means production doesnt need
to stop until it is actually necessary. It means
that the sales target is easier to achieve and
the industry can fulfill customer demand
effectively. Similarly, you can configure asset
tracking into the vehicles themselves. A vehicle
that alerts the user about services, or feature
breakdowns, could potentially avoid road
accidents and help keep people safe. Industrial
IoT solutions are a boon to large factories. They
can help make a safer and efficient work
environment. Of course, in an industry like the
automobile, it also helps move things along
faster, just constantly churning out
profits. 25 of the automobile industry has
already implemented IoT solutions and are going
to increase their RD budget to 27 in lieu of
the 19 that they spend today. This industry is
leading

the IIoT implementation among other ones that
also use heavy machinery. In the end I would
like to emphasize the importance of the fact that
technology moves forward every day. Adding IIoT
to your machines prepares them for a future of
innovation, and gives you the benefits before
the rest of the industry joins the club. It
secures your business from falling behind. If
you are looking to integrate your machinery with
IIoT, Biztech can help you by providing IIoT
