Possibilities in mechatronics significantly widened due to the Internet of Things (IoT). People are aggressively exploring options that combine the two, often with impressive results. Here are five industries that frequently use IoT mechatronics. They show why so many organizations can benefit from this merging of technologies.
1. Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry has arguably received some of the most significant and ongoing benefits from IoT mechatronics. Industrial robots, quality control systems, and assembly lines are some of the many manufacturing staples that run with mechatronics principles. Once IoT technologies became more widespread, it was easy for industry leaders to take advantage of both these technologies.
The Internet of Things supports improved automation, better data collection, and enhanced visibility, among other things. Manufacturers can use industrial robots to streamline workflows or install smart sensors on factory equipment to get alerts of technical issues before failures occur.
IoT technologies also improve assets built with mechatronics, such as the CNC machine. In one case, researchers attached smart sensors to a milling machine used to make a turbomachinery component.
