The increasing prominence of IoT refers to the expansion of internet connectivity to other physical devices and daily use objects which can be remotely monitored and controlled. It can transfer data over a network without any intervention or need of human. IoT in manufacturing can help the business to create a new business opportunity for manufacturing. It helps in the management of asset, workforce and inventory in an organization.
Network control and management of manufacturing equipment, asset and situation management bring the IoT within the realm of industrial applications and smart manufacturing as well. The IoT intelligent systems enable rapid manufacturing of new products, active response to product demands, and real-time optimization of manufacturing production and supply chain networks, by networking machinery, sensors and control systems together. In short, IoT enhances the quality and quantity of manufacturing industry.
The increasing popularity of automated & intelligent technologies is leading to high production efficiency and reduced environmental impact, driving the IoT in the manufacturing market. The implementation of intelligent production and process management techniques in various production facilities adds up to efficiency. These parameters aid manufacturers to develop products at a higher speed and low costs, leading to investments in more competent tasks. These technologies allow manufacturers to gain insights into consumer preferences & develop products accordingly. Enhanced worker safety, customer service, and competitive advantages are compelling global manufacturers to adopt IoT technologies, creating a high demand.
Owing to high market competition and end-user demand, manufacturers are more concerned with producing high volume and quality products. This, in turn, has led them to focus on core areas, such as production process, asset monitoring, and maintenance and support of assets in the factory. Using automation would enable manufacturers to reduce direct human labour costs and expenses, increase productivity, enhance consistency of processes or products, and deliver quality products. Industrial automation processes use control systems, such as computers or robots, to monitor and handle processes and machines. IoT plays an important role in enhancing the process of industrial automation in manufacturing industries.
During COVID-19 pandemic, the manufacturing industry is badly hit. The manufacturing slowdown in China has affected the manufacturing business in more than 15 countries due to country-wide lockdowns, strict international border controls, and social distancing measures for workers, and supply chain issues from China. According to The Economic Times, in March 2020, manufacturing companies operating in India, such as automakers, smartphone makers, consumer electronics firms, and appliance makers, have ordered factory shutdowns till the end of March 2020. Factory shutdowns could further lead to incalculable damages to the production of key products. The Economic Times also stated that in this extreme case of the complete shutdown of all factories for one month, it is estimated that the real manufacturing Gross Value Added (GVA) would fall by a sharp five per cent in Financial Year (FY) 2021. These factory shutdowns would avoid manufacturing firms to adopt IoT solutions; hence, negatively affecting the adoption of IoT solutions in the Indian manufacturing market.
It is predicted that if the COVID-19 outbreak will persist for the next few months, the manufacturing sector is expected to be affected in the IoT industry. The potential unavailability of materials remains the greatest risk factor that is expected to directly impact the operations of automobile manufacturers. Although automakers can compensate for material shortage through other overseas factories, the process of capacity expansion and shipping of goods is still expected to create gaps in the overall manufacturing process. Hence, the COVID-19 outbreak has negatively impacted the overall operations of the manufacturing sector, which has reduced the growth of the IoT industry in the manufacturing sector. The potential unavailability of materials remains the greatest risk factor that is expected to directly impact the operations of automobile manufacturers.
