The Roles of Internet of Things Technology in Realizing Sustainable Development

Internet of Things Application

Industries can use internet of things technology (IIOT) to achieve sustainable development in various ways.

  • Smart Office

    The smart office concept uses IIOT to create a safer, more productive, and energy-efficient work environment through a sensor-based system that will detect changes in the office environment and provide real-time action. For example, control lights that will turn on automatically when it detects movement and smart door locks that will lock doors automatically at certain hours.

  • Smart Energy

    Internet of things plays an important role in the production of renewable energy. Renewable energy promotes a sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle, and reduces production costs. These technologies involve IoT sensors, battery storage, energy consumption regulation, and more.

  • Reduce Pollution

    Internet of things allows air pollution to be monitored in real-time via air quality sensors, enabling the source of pollution to be identified quickly and accurately. For example, AI-enabled traffic lights can adjust automatically to traffic volume, reducing the number of idle cars as a source of air pollution.

  • Energy Efficiency

    Internet of things works on energy efficiency by reducing the total cost and use of electricity. By using real-time energy consumption data from IoT, companies can create strategic ways to save energy, one of which is through lighting systems and smart thermostats.

  • Water Conservation

    IIOT is very important in water conservation as it has become a valuable resource in the world. It works by sending real-time data using water sensors to monitor water usage, filtration systems, and water quality.

Internet of Things Technology in the Manufacturing Industry

The application of internet of things is a growing trend in the smart manufacturing industry. The technology is used in different aspects such as:

  • Real-time asset and device monitoring to ensure reliability, safety, and compliance
  • Connected operational intelligence on the machine and equipment
  • Machine-to-machine automation
  • Predictive maintenance and early malfunctions
  • Logistic management
  • Manufacturing key performance indicators
  • Improve safety and prevent work-related injuries using fire sensors, radiation sensors, and health sensors to monitored the workforce heart rate
