Listen to this articleIIoT sensors can be used in many ways for monitoring waste in smart manufacturing. The main examples of IIoT sensors used for waste monitoring are:
- Gas Waste Sensors: Monitoring gas waste with IIoT sensors in smart factories helps identify inefficiencies and reduce waste, leading to cost savings and improving sustainability.
- Distance Sensors: Accurate measuring of the distance between objects in manufacturing or other industrial companies by distance sensors can help identify inefficiencies and reduce waste.
- Deficiency Sensors: They are better used in the automotive industry to identify deficiencies in products before they are sold. It also supports reducing waste caused by defective products.
- Smart Sensors: They can also be used for making accurate measurements in harsh environments with low current consumption, streamlining manufacturing operations, and reducing waste.
In summary, IIoT sensors are smart and efficient enough to be used for identifying waste and monitoring its level in smart manufacturing, such as gas waste, distance, etc. The sensors also provide real-time data on the performance and condition of the manufacturing process to enable manufacturers to optimize production efficiency, reduce waste, and improve sustainability.
