The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to weave an intricate web of connectivity across the globe, with the number of smart devices set to possibly exceed 40 billion by the end of 2027. This explosion of interconnected gadgets not only fuels technological innovation but also introduces complex challenges, particularly in managing and connecting these devices…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial operations, the shift toward digital monitoring systems has highlighted significant challenges in scalability and the efficiency of traditional wired and Bluetooth connections. These limitations, primarily in the form of short-range, one-to-one connections, have prompted a search for more robust solutions capable of supporting the expansive needs of modern…
In the evolving landscape of industrial maintenance, the shift towards predictive and condition-based maintenance represents a significant leap forward. This paradigm, empowered by the advanced capabilities of Cassia Networks’ Bluetooth gateways and Access Controller, is reshaping how businesses approach the upkeep of their machinery and equipment. Through the strategic collection of data and its sophisticated…
Companies across industries are increasingly mindful of energy efficient solutions, therefore frequent energy audits are becoming an industry standard. Some of the most expensive utilities that require monitoring are compressed air and gases such as nitrogen and argon (Gorelick and Bandes 2011; Patil and Rickert 2020). The cost per unidentified air leak may vary between…
Recent events of fires during ocean shipping have started fierce discussions over whether the maritime industry has kept up with the risks of lithium ion technology as the lithium ion batteries “burn with twice the energy of a normal fire” (Reuters 2023). The biggest hazard in lithium batteries is “thermal runaway”, meaning that these batteries…
The healthcare industry has been transformed by indoor asset tracking. Not only is indoor tracking technology important for locating equipment and supplies, but is also critical in locating people and accurately accessing medical data (Fahim et al. 2020). Real-time locationing is becoming increasingly important for the global healthcare asset management market estimated to grow to…
Ultrasound is becoming an increasingly important technology for condition monitoring. According to MaintWorld, it could be considered as “first line of defense” against bearing failures. There are multiple reasons for bearing failures, mainly having to do with lubrication. Lack of proper lubrication starts causing friction levels to rise. Friction creates ultrasound emissions, however, instead of…
The potential of IoT in the Health Sector, H-IoT, is huge. According to Rajeb et al. (2023) the IoT applications are versatile with significant opportunities in both healthcare facilities as well in patients’ own homes. The deployment of IoT in remote health monitoring is beneficial to the patients as it allows for early detection, and…
