As the digital revolution takes over the entire globe, the Internet of Things, also known as IoT, became a hot topic for all sectors; indeed, what was primarily a foreign subject to all professionals is now considered the head of an entire domain of functionalities, the most primary one being the Industrial Internet of Things, or IIoT. Approximately half of the global IoT spending is conducted on industry related utilities, transportation purposes and discrete manufacturing. IIoT typically refers to the industrial application of devices such as instrumentation and connected sensors to different types of machinery and processes. As the global industrial IoT market rises above 900 billion dollars, more and more companies turn to IoT solutions for business initiatives or enhancing and optimizing their operations.

As IoT and cloud solutions keep boosting and scaling companies that choose to employ it, a greater margin of industries will turn to such solutions; these include energy, transportation, oil and gas, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and more. IoT solutions not only help induce growth for these sectors, but actually reinvent them to transform means of production, efficiency, and even the amount of global economic output. In fact, IIoT is expected to drive around 14.2 billion dollars of economic gain by 2030, extending to two thirds of the world’s economic output.

 

 

Outlook on to the IoT Industries and IIoT Benefits

 

Data by the IDC reveal that IoT is most prominently utilized in manufacturing, accounting for over two thirds of the entire sector’s spending. What are some business applications of IoT in the manufacturing industry that can assist in essential domains such as asset management, field services and more?

 

PRODUCTION VISIBILITY

 

A key necessity of the manufacturing industry is the close tracking of relevant machinery, tools and sensors for enhanced production visibility and swift operation by process engineers. RFID solutions help manufacturers track industrial objects in assemblies in real time.

IoT tools can monitor such temperature and humidity conditions, so that managers can assess these variables, be alerted and take precautionary safety measures to ensure optimum health and performance.

 

MACHINE UTILITY ENHANCEMENT

 

When you connect machines to the internet you can easily monitor machine performance and track necessary KPIs relevant to equipment effectiveness, process effectiveness, and more. Through this, managers are better equipped to identify what may be causing downtime, or even predict equipment failure to reduce potential additional costs.

 

MANAGING THE OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND FACILITY BETTER

 

To reduce potential operational costs in industrial settings, sensors such as RFID tags, can be utilized to collect insights into the usage patterns and come to conclusions in operational strategies to conserve energy, increase efficiency and conserve energy. As mentioned above, these sensors can also be used to ensure facility safety by monitoring temperature, humidity, space usage, and more.

 

OPTIMIZING THE SUPPLY CHAIN

 

IoT solutions can allow access to real time data regarding inputs, products and equipment through sensors such as RFID tags, granting managers visibility into inventory operation and real-time timelines in material availability, worker schedules, progress and so on. Through this manufacturers can better manage the supply chain operations, track interdependencies, map out material flows, track manufacturing cycle times and predict potential issues.

Today, many manufacturers lack the necessary IoT skills to update their infrastructure and fail mostly in the ROI stage. It is recommended that companies search for IoT platforms and applications that can allow them to comprehensively tackle this transition. It may be wise to start small and scale up as you start seeing traction and return on your investment.

Industrial IoT such as smart sensors and softwares, can help you ensure more affordable, efficient and manageable processes, where you can predict and prevent potential failures. As outlined above here are some advantages your business will likely experience by adopting IIoT solutions:

 

  • Better facility and inventory management
  • Increased safety in industrial operation and protection of assets
  • Optimized logistics and supply chain operations
  • Smart meters in monitoring resource consumption
  • Effective accumulation of predictive knowledge to reduce downtime and additional costs

 

What are some IIoT Challenges to Watch out For?

While the benefits are many, perhaps the most key challenge that comes with IoT solutions is their adoption. Finding a good place to start and choosing the optimum automation processes that will benefit the business most is a difficult process. Further, proper adoption of such solutions is severely limited with respect to geographic location given that only a certain number of countries provide the right technology. Without the appropriate infrastructural network, adoption becomes extremely demanding. Other factors that stand i the way of widespread IoT adoption are:

 

  • security vulnerabilities when a properly encrypted network is lacking or in the case of data leaks
  • Lack of IoT standards and protocols
  • The burdening cost of implementing IIoT solutions without a clear ROI

What is Asset Identification?

Asset identification involves management of a variety of movable or fixed asset categories, making it essential to integrate a comprehensive tracking system. Workplace safety softwares and solutions capitalize heavily on asset identification and tracking systems; this is because asset identification constitutes a critical step for a business to track its essential equipment. To put simply, if your business assets are incorrectly labeled, or if they undergo duplicate labeling, this creates multiple risk avenues. These risks include compliance complications, minimizing prospects for preventive maintenance, as well as compromising your assets’ safety in general. This makes it imperative for your business to ensure asset identification best practices both for physical assets as well as human assets.

 

 

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT ASSET DETECTION MODELS?

 

General Outlook Asset Detection

Workplace safety softwares and solutions like Wipelot go above and beyond location based tracking system and utilize asset detection and identification for essential processes. These processes rely on collecting real time data from all mobile entities by wireless receivers. Then, this data is transmitted to and evaluated by the general system to inform the outcome to the responsible personnel.

High resolution real time location tracking refers to a combined system integration pertaining to collecting location data of individuals and equipment instantly and compiling a comprehensive reporting infrastructure. This system allows for the wireless receiver technology and the GPS installation to be completed and integrated in a fast and effective manner with minimum equipment.

Location Based Status Notification

Missing entity determination systems have been developed to function under districts where various entities are present. These systems allow for automatic counting and tracking within warehouse facilities, also extending its functioning to equipments or personnel that report from the given region.

Passage Point Perception for Personnel

This system refers to perception based transactions along defined districts or passage gates. Within this infrastructure data is compiled regarding whether the entities or assets are within the borders of a given region. It can also report on whether there is an entry or exit to the region by an asset. This data is then converted into notifications that can trigger alternative systems. RFID, also known as Radio Frequency Identification System, is actively used in such perception methodology. Please refer to our previous blog on RFID systems here.

Remote Perception and Inspection

In addition to positional data of an entity, it is necessary to compile the following information to ensure maximum workplace safety and accurate tracking:

  • Communication of the asset with the present mechanics of the external environment,
  • The operational status from the environmental interface
  • Breakdown record derivations

This process is usually conducted through inserted receivers that calculate temperature, humidity, pressure, vibration, gas, movement, seismic values, images, illumination, mechanical tension, noise, speed, directional data in real time through wireless collection and measurement. Evaluating this data also involves equipment and vehicle care status, oil level and other critical indicators.

Thus, such data concerning responsible personnel should be collected on a real time basis and immediately be transferred to the operating systems for further evaluation and response. This type of informational integrity can help ensure better operational planning, optimization and safety.

Why Should you Work With an Asset Tracking Solution?

Comprehensive and effective asset detection methods can allow your company to operate under full visibility and transparency of asset conditions. The best way to ensure you are following asset identification best practices is to work with an asset tracking solution. Knowing and constantly calculating where your assets are located, their condition, usage and movement is very significant information you should have access to for fully optimized business operations. Asset tags and asset tracking solutions can assist in proper maintenance, efficient operation, comprehensive reporting, and enhanced workplace safety.

How Can We Recycle Medical Waste: COVID-19 Masks https://se.meganova.se/?p=204 Sat, 08 May 2021 04:15:08 +0000 https://se.meganova.se/?p=204 After the breakout of COVID-19, the consumption of face masks and face shields has increased rapidly. If we consider continents, the mask consumptions can reach billions in one day. We sometimes miss out on the crucial details like the wastes we generate. While fighting a more significant threat, we can overlook sustainable acts about our masks and medical waste generation.

It is easy to wear a mask and throw it away immediately. However, do we consider the afterlife of that mask? A study stated that 3.4 billion masks and face shields are thrown out every day. These numbers may be shocking to hear. Keep reading to discover how we can stay healthy and safe while being sustainable at the same time.

PPE Disposal for Medical Waste Management

The increase in health care products is a fact in our daily lives. Especially after COVID, our consumption of PPE (personal protective equipment) has been the center of many industries. They are produced, transported, used, and thrown out. The real question is, what happens to medical waste after we use them.

We can not recycle used medical products. Face masks, gloves, and most medical products are supposed to be used once. After that, they are expected to be thrown away. This does not mean that these materials should go to landfills without going through any process.

Medical Waste Mask

Also, we should be cautious because masks and other medical products are mostly made from different plastic materials. These will toxicate our world and endanger countless species. Significantly the world’s ocean pollution has increased after COVID-19. We are not careful enough with our medical waste. According to a study, one face mask can release 173,000 microfibers to our oceans and seas.

Check out our ebook if you are interested in how all kinds of medical waste are treated, sorted, and transported.

How to Treat Contaminated PPE

PPE (personal protective equipment) is a term COVID-19 introduced to us. Face masks, gloves, shields, and protectors are all personal protective equipment. Disposal of PPE can be different from other materials. As we mentioned before, face masks can not be recycled. So how are they treated?

Professional firms handle the collection, transportation, and treatments for medical wastes. They are usually considered hazardous materials, and they need to be handled carefully. Usually, three processes, incineration, thermal treatment, and chemical treatment, are used in the disposition process. There are software solutions to support the operation of medical waste management. You can check the details here.

How to Throw Away Your Used Masks During Your Daily Lives?

Of course, for hygiene concerns, we can’t reuse medical masks. After they are used, we should throw them in medical waste containers, or if you are out of reach of these containers, the best option is to put the mask in some bag and throw it out afterward. It is risky to throw our masks in a regular garbage container or recycling bin because it may toxicate the current recyclable materials and endanger potential materials.

Are There alternatives for Traditional Masks

For someone looking for a more sustainable solution for face masks, there is always the option of cloth masks. We can reuse them for a long time. Of course, like everything else, they have a lifespan as well. They should be washed regularly. There is a risky side of these, too. If they are not from quality material, they can be useless against viruses and diseases. If you plan to purchase a cloth mask, do not forget to check the material and size because they need to fit your face nicely.

Warehouse Management Software: Guarantee the Best! https://se.meganova.se/?p=192 Sat, 08 May 2021 04:05:09 +0000 https://se.meganova.se/?p=192 As well known, warehouses are storage places for a vast number of products. During operations, warehouse managers are responsible for inventory control, tracking task fulfillments, analyzing data, maintaining the order, and ensuring the most beneficial outputs from the processes. With Warehouse Management Software managers can manage the inventory, store data, keep track of tasks and control all numerical components within the system.

We can briefly say that warehouse management embodies all the operations carried from when the inventory comes into the warehouse and until it’s out again. Warehouse Management Software can give a helping hand to manage all of these processes. Keep reading to discover the details of the system.

What is Warehouse Management Software:

Software and Hardware Solutions are very commonly used in supply chain management types. WMS or Warehouse Management Software system targets to clarify and ease the operation processes. One of the main goals of WMS is to reduce flaws that occur in different action steps.

In big warehouses keeping track of the inventory promptly can be very challenging. We are talking numbers that are way beyond finger counting. In these cases, counting the incoming and outgoing inventory with manual ways will consume time and human power. Hence, the consequence of these consumptions will strongly end in revenue and resource loss.

We will explain the details of the WMS system; beforehand, it will be beneficial to know that there can be different WMS systems. Choosing the accurate one for your operations will benefit you by improving operational excellence and saving you from possible financial costs.

How Does WMS Optimize Warehouse Operations?

Inventory Control

Inventory Control is one of the most significant components of a warehouse software management system. When the WMS technology is interpreted in your operations, your Inventory will be under control whether you work with an all manual system or a hybrid system.

Instead of using resources for every inventory tracking operation, operations can use WMS to plan the inventory count, store the collected data, and control every numerical component within the system. The Inventory can be packed or transported while the WMS system manages it.

WMS allows you to not only track the inventory numbers but to track the warehouse space. Administrators can manage all control of the empty and full spaces of the warehouse, and operational needs will be satisfied easily.

When the Inventory comes in, the system will automatically add them to count and place them in an accurate location of the warehouse.

Stock control can be managed with the system, and this will speed up the operations. Inventory and Warehouse Software Management starts with the Inventory entering the warehouse, continues with tracking, and ends when the Inventory reaches its final destination. In some cases, the Inventory can be sent back WMS can also track the Inventory as a returned item.

Employee Effectiveness

Employee Effectiveness can be achieved with Warehouse software management systems. The tasks can be sorted and assigned to the correct employees. After this step, managers can track the assigned tasks to the final part of the tasks during the process.

WMS can interpret Employee Management into the operations with a cloud-based system. Managers can plan the tasks, match the task with the competent employee, track the attendance and progress of workers, and reduce employee-based flaws to enhance a better operation.

WMS will use human resources efficiently. It will also eliminate extra work time for both managers and employees.

It can also be integrated with FinancManagement Solutions to organize the financial parts, track revenue generation, and clarify your total spending on operations.

What is the Difference Between ERP and WMS?

ERP or Enterprise Resource Planning guarantees that automation is a critical component and is handled efficiently. ERP and WMS can seem different and alike at the same time. Warehouse Management Software is a more focused system on Inventory tracking. It gives you instantaneous data of the Inventory’s current location and situation.

ERP and WMS systems are different because, as mentioned before, Finance and Employee Solutions can support WMS. Warehouse Management can be a part of ERP Solutions. Contrarily, ERP usually does not require outer support because it contains the solutions within its structure. Although it depends on the operation’s needs, ERP in warehouse management operations can be used together with WMS.

A Sustainable Way for RFID System and RFID Tags https://se.meganova.se/?p=194 Sat, 08 May 2021 03:50:53 +0000 https://se.meganova.se/?p=194 Getting to know the technologies around us is very important. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the most frequently used technologies. Even when we don’t realize it, we see and use RFID readers and RFID tags in our everyday lives. Keep reading if you want to learn more about the technology, its benefits, and possible disadvantages.

How Does RFID System Work

RFID System uses wireless technology to transfer the collected data. The system has two main pieces that integrate with each other. An RFID tag and a reader. In order to explain reader and tags, the concept of how it collects data has to be understood.
RFID systems use radio waves to transfer the data. RFID Tags collect the data from the attached devices, and the reader transfers the data to a database.

In our daily lives RFID technology is often used. We can see them in:

  • Passports.
  • Credit cards (the RFID helps you pay without contact).
  • Cargo and mail packages who have barcodes on them.
  • Metro, bus and other transportation cards.
  • Pets who have microchips attached to them.

 What Role Does RFID Play in Waste Management

RFID Systems are very beneficial during waste management operations. Controlling the location of vehicles and assets, identifying task completion, and detecting accidents before they happen are achievable with RFID systems. RFID is installed in waste containers and used for the optimization of waste operations. The collected data can be transferred and stored in a dashboard effortlessly.

With RFID systems, managers will have complete control over the operations. Tracking vehicles and assets are effortless because every tag will be identified to a container, so the information of every container will be transported accurately to the dashboard.

RFID systems can improve your operational efficiency even in the short term. If you have any questions on what is RFID reader and Tag, and how it can integrate with your waste management operations you can check here.

Can You Recycle RFID Tags?

RFID tags are made from different materials, and when their lifespan comes to an end, like most products, they need to be recycled.

The critical component of RFID tag recycling is the sorting process. If you think of the tag, it is mainly made from polyethylene terephthalate. PET is a type of plastic that can be easily recycled. However, the challenging part of the tag recycling operation starts after this.

Every RFID tag has a metal antenna inside it that helps communicate data. When the material separation or sorting process starts, the antenna must be removed manually when considering the high number of tags; this procedure can be challenging. (Source )

Passive tags are much easier to decompose compared to active tags. Passive RFID tags are not that complex when it comes to their internal structure. On the other hand, recycling is crucial because it is often powered by lithium batteries, especially for active tags. 

Are RFID Tags/Readers Dangerous for the Environment

RFID systems are a helping hand in today’s world, but how sustainable and healthy are they? RFID tags communicate when it comes into contact with the reader’s electromagnetic field. The RFID readers can transmit waves in three frequency bands. These are 125 kHz for very low frequency (LF) readers, 13.56 MHz for high-frequency (HF) readers, and 900 MHz for ultra-high-frequency (UHF) readers.0p*

The wave frequencies are the main criteria for the environmental and human risks. Usually these frequencies do not pose any danger for humans, however for minimum harm it is advised to stand at least 20 cm away from the RFID readers.
