Industrial IoT as a Service

Digitization

Digitization, or the process of converting information into a digital format, is essential for any organization looking to thrive in the long term. By digitizing their operations, businesses can gain a competitive edge through improvements in efficiency, productivity, customer experience, and the creation of new revenue streams. The Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT) plays a crucial role in digitization by enabling the transfer of digitized information to a central location where it can be used for tasks such as visualization, machine learning, and decision making.

Key Benefits of using Industrial IoT

More efficiency and accuracy thanks to the immediate delivery of accurate messages to one or more recipients.

Online data on the current state and long-term data for audits and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions.

Sending automatic notifications via text, email or instant messaging app when specified conditions are exceeded.

Making sense out of big data that humans can’t possibly process and using it to achieve desired business goals.

Industrial IoT Common Challenges

According to a recent IoT Signals report by Microsoft, 91% of companies that adopted Industrial IoT in their plants saw an increase in efficiency, while 91% experienced an increase in production, and 85% saw an improvement in the quality of their processes, services, or products. The report predicts that within two years, as many as 94% of companies will be using Industrial IoT.

However, the successful implementation of Industrial IoT is often hindered by various challenges, including:

Complexity and technological barriers

Lack of budget and staff capacity

Lack of knowledge about digitization, technology, and Industrial IoT

Security concerns

Absence of a suitable Industrial IoT solution

Successful Case Study

Evaporation is a persistent issue in oilfield water storage ponds, as the atmosphere absorbs moisture from any exposed body of water. This can lead to significant daily losses of water, which can have significant economic and environmental consequences.

In order to address this problem, a monitoring system was developed to measure water depth and various environmental factors that influence evaporation. These factors may include temperature, humidity, ORP, and conductivity. By continuously monitoring these variables, the system can provide real-time data on evaporation rates and help to optimize water management strategies. This can help to reduce water losses and improve the efficiency and sustainability of oilfield operations.

Challenge: No electricity nor WiFi connection around the pond to transmit data to the cloud.

Solution: Battery powered Cellular IoT Gateway with multi-carrier LTE-M connectivity.

The use of a battery-powered Cellular IoT Gateway allowed us to collect data from a remote location without the need for significant infrastructure investments or intervention into the corporate network. This provided a convenient and cost-effective solution for accessing data from remote locations.

With this system, both management and operators have access to accurate measurement data for up to one year, and receive alerts when alarming conditions occur. This helps to ensure that all stakeholders have the information they need to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to address any issues that may arise. The availability of this data can also support long-term planning and analysis to optimize operations and improve performance.

Liberty provided a fast, efficient and customized solution to our remote data transmission needs in the oilfield with excellent technical support.

Liberty quickly developed cost effective IoT Gateway data transmission software and hardware for our remote environmental and control system designs. This provides valuable and timely data from remote locations directly to our clients - anywhere, via web-based PCs or mobile phones. Our clients especially appreciate the human interfaces and display options Liberty provided.

Temperature & Humidity Monitoring

IoT technologies can automate refrigeration monitoring for the food service industry, resulting in significant time and cost savings. Our non-invasive IoT solution addresses complex remote monitoring challenges and reduces the risk of human error by combining efficient wireless sensors and gateways with advanced monitoring applications, real-time monitoring, and instant SMS text message alerts.

Machines Performance and Efficiency

IoT technologies have enabled the monitoring and control of manufacturing productivity on machines that were previously unmonitored. Manufacturing data can be collected through various methods, such as connecting to a PLC via digital and analog outputs, monitoring LED indicators with phototransistors, or using vibration monitoring or Hall probes. This enables the accurate tracking of downtime in manufacturing, the number of pieces produced, process compliance, and current OEE (overall equipment effectiveness).

Predictive Maintenance

Long-term monitoring of machines, equipment, and the environment can detect unusual behavior and promptly prevent unexpected manufacturing downtime. By monitoring vibration, current, engine temperature, and other variables, maintenance priorities can be based on data rather than just preventive or reactive maintenance. IoT technologies make it possible to quickly collect data and send it to the cloud for evaluation.

Working Environment

High temperature, humidity, or dust levels can impact the quality of products and services. IoT technologies enable the easy and efficient measurement of these and other conditions without the need for cabling. These technologies can be used to monitor ideal conditions for food storage or to prevent corrosion in industrial settings. They can also measure a range of physical quantities, including lighting, noise, CO2, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Consumption Monitoring

IoT technologies enable the remote monitoring of energy consumption, including water, gas, and electricity, even in locations without an Internet connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This allows for the easy collection of consumption data for a specific system and the identification of opportunities for optimization.

Environmental Monitoring

Environment monitoring is a common use case for IoT deployment. It involves not only measuring quantities, but also continuously monitoring and recording them and sending real-time alerts to users. IoT technologies have made it possible for these continuous measurement systems to operate in the field for extended periods of time, with data accessible from any device with internet access. These systems can remotely monitor variables such as air humidity and temperature, wind speed and direction, precipitation volume, soil temperature and moisture, water depth, ORP (oxidation-reduction potential), and DO (dissolved oxygen).
