In today's technological landscape, real-time system monitoring and control are becoming increasingly critical to ensure operational efficiency and optimize resource utilization. However, in the absence of IoT-based solutions, several key challenges persist, hindering effective management and oversight. Below are the primary issues faced by traditional monitoring and control systems:
- Non-continuous monitoring: The lack of real-time telemetry leads to delayed fault detection and increased risk of operational inefficiencies
- Challenges in remote management: On-premise personnel are required for manual oversight, resulting in higher operational costs and inefficiency, especially in distributed infrastructures.
- Insufficient real-time data: The unavailability of live data streams compromises data-driven decision-making, reducing the precision of operational strategies.
- Resource inefficiency: Without real-time analytics and automation, resource usage (e.g., water, electricity, energy) cannot be optimized, leading to unnecessary waste.
IoT Monitoring and Control
DFT's IoT solution provides a fully integrated monitoring and control system, leveraging a customized Thingsboard platform, with eWon's IoT Gateway as the core infrastructure, and an integrated IP-based surveillance camera system.
