Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) have progressed much during the last ten years. The next step will be AIoT, where IoT technologies will be integrated with intelligence to provide solutions capable of monitoring and optimizing processes in the physical world.
From the point of view of developers and engineers, AIoT means not only connection of sensors with cloud computing but creation of end-to-end solutions including data collection, processing, analysis with the help of AI models, and extraction of insights from collected data.
Some examples of real-life AIoT include:
Predictive maintenance to prevent failure of equipment.
Asset tracking providing full control on assets in warehouses and logistic chains.
Ensuring workforce safety with smart sensors and AI-based alerts.
Process optimization using AIoT solution.
Predictive maintenance to identify equipment problems before any failures happen.
Asset tracking to enable real-time visibility throughout warehouses and supply chains.
Workforce safety with the help of smart sensors and AI-based alerts.
Optimization of operations based on data and automation analytics.
One of the lessons learned from successful AIoT initiatives is to begin with a real business challenge rather than the new technology itself. A scalable architecture, robust data pipelines, and tangible results are more useful than implementing the cutting-edge AI model.
With the rapid development of digital transformation in the industry, the professionals that have knowledge about both software intelligence and physical systems will have a great role to play in the future.
