The Use of IoT and IIoT for Equipment Testing

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a neologism, first used in 1999 by Kevin Ashton, co-founder and director of Auto-ID Center, which applies to all connected devices (except computers and smartphones) on the Internet. Whether it is cars, fitness trackers, refrigerators, light bulbs, or furnishings, everything is connected to the Internet and can collect and share data using individual sensors. In recent years, the IoT has been one of the most popular concepts. The purpose of the paper is to study the impact of the Internet of Things on the development of companies, enterprises, corporations in all sectors of the market when they turn into IT companies with industrial specialization. The concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to connect any object to the Internet to make it more independent and intelligent by managing large amounts of information. The Internet of Things includes: measuring instruments, identification tools, communication and transmission tools, platforms for managing data, systems and devices, information analysis software, models of the system response to various situations, decision systems in the field of data transmission security, IT-services and products. The paper discusses RFID technology that allows one to identify, track, and control any objects that are automatically connected using RFID tags. The use of the Internet of Things in the development of enterprises entails the transformation of the production process. A business must change the structure of organization and production, approaches used for the selection and training of personnel, as well as planning methods.
