Understanding the Concept and Potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Industry Through Public Lectures in the Network Multimedia Engineering Study Program and Network Computer Engineering Study Program
The Internet of Things (IoT) uses programming to produce interactions between machines without human intervention. This interaction utilizes continuous internet connectivity. Communication between machines or objects using IoT technology can take the form of data exchange or remote control. This technology is also the main support for the development of smart cities.
In today's increasingly advanced digital era, IoT has become a hot topic and has attracted the attention of many parties. This concept allows electronic devices and everyday objects to connect and communicate with each other and opens up new opportunities in various industrial fields. Therefore, the D4 Network Multimedia Engineering Study Program and the D1 Computer Network Engineering Study Program held a Public Lecture with the title "Digital Transformation" and "Sensor Network Technology" on October 6 2023 in the Multipurpose Building Hall with speaker Faizal Hasby from Best-Path Network and from PT. Tap Smart Items.
At this activity, the speaker explained that in industry, IoT has enormous potential. With continuous connectivity between machines and devices, the production process can become more efficient and better controlled. In the manufacturing industry, IoT can be used to monitor and control production machines automatically. Data collected by sensors connected to the machine can provide real-time information about the condition of the machine, allowing companies to carry out preventive maintenance and avoid unexpected damage.
Apart from that, IoT can also be used to increase energy efficiency in industry. By using sensors connected to electronic equipment and devices, companies can control energy use more effectively. For example, IoT systems can control lighting and room temperature automatically based on human presence or required energy requirements. This can reduce unnecessary energy use and save operational costs.
The application of IoT in industry also has a positive impact in terms of supply chain management. With continuous connectivity between manufacturers, suppliers and customers, information about supply, demand and delivery can be obtained in real-time. This allows companies to optimize inventory, reduce costs, and increase customer satisfaction.
Apart from that, IoT can also be used to improve security and safety in industry. With sensors connected to equipment and machines, companies can monitor working conditions and identify potential hazards in real-time. For example, sensors can detect gas leaks or fires and quickly alert security personnel or firefighters. This can reduce the risk of accidents and losses caused by unexpected events.
However, while IoT offers a wide range of potential and benefits in industry, there are also challenges and risks that need to be considered. One of the main challenges is data security and privacy issues. With constant connectivity between devices, the data collected and transmitted becomes vulnerable to cyber attacks. Therefore, companies need to implement strong security measures, such as data encryption and the use of trusted security protocols.
Apart from that, implementing IoT in industry also requires quite large investments. Companies need to spend funds to purchase and install the necessary sensors, network infrastructure, and data management systems. Therefore, companies must carefully consider the benefits that will be obtained from implementing IoT in industry and carry out good planning.
It can be concluded that IoT has enormous potential in industry. With continuous connectivity between machines and devices, production processes can become more efficient, energy use can be better controlled, supply chain management can be improved, and security and safety can be improved. However, companies also need to consider existing challenges and risks, such as data security and the investment required. With proper planning and implementation, IoT can be an innovative and effective solution in increasing productivity and industrial competitiveness.
