The role of IoT in industry 4.0
The use of Internet of Things (IoT) shows tremendous growth and millions of devices are now connected to the internet.

It’s all about

Installing electronics in existing products and thereby connecting them to the cloud (or edge) which makes it possible to introduce new services based on real time data analysis
Online-access to sensors, metering consumption or change of state, e.g. electricity, water or heating consumption, water level in wells or water quality, hygiene etc.
Remote control or software updating of products
IoT for management of internal logistics and manufacturing processes
IoT for tracking equipment and personal staff.

IoT means access to new data sources in real time, that means new knowledge, insight and new ways of monitoring and optimization of processes. This again means higher customer satisfaction and vale creation for the company and for the society.

For many companies IoT means change of business models from sale to subscription of products and services, letting the manufacturer – or a separate company – take over operations and maintenance of the products.
