**How IoT reduces costs in industry: efficiency gains through technology**
Today's industrial landscape is undergoing a transformation, with the Internet of Things (IoT) at the forefront. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and industrial operations are experiencing changes towards greater efficiency and cost reductions, thanks to the integration of IoT technologies.
**Efficiency through precise data collection**
With IoT technologies, companies can collect and analyze real-time data to make informed decisions. The advantage lies in detecting anomalies early and solving problems before they cause costly downtime. This not only makes preventive maintenance possible, but also more effective, based on current data instead of predetermined intervals.
Some IoT implementations have shown that companies can extend the life of their machines by up to 20%, leading directly to cost savings and increased productivity.
**Automation as the key to efficiency**
Using IoT to automate processes is key to reducing costs. This reduces the need for manual intervention and minimizes human error. Sensors and actuators provide networked adjustments to achieve maximum efficiency.
Automated systems in the production process can reduce energy consumption, which offers cost savings and reduces CO₂ emissions. Optical character recognition (OCR) in production lines or the use of robotic arms in packaging lines are examples of such efficiency improvements.
**Energy savings through optimized processes**
IoT technologies offer immense opportunities for energy monitoring. With smart systems, energy is only used when needed, resulting in significant cost savings and improving the environmental footprint.
One example is a manufacturer that was able to reduce energy consumption by 15% through IoT-based energy management, which represents a competitive advantage.
Overall, IoT has the potential to make industries more efficient and sustainable. The savings and increases achieved through precise data, automation and energy optimization are crucial for economic success and competitiveness.
