IoT Remote Monitoring of Tailings Dams

Learn how industrial IoT applications are changing the traditional polling architecture for SCADA and control systems into a modern publish/subscribe approach.

Although industrial control systems have switched from analog to digital many decades ago, the problem of having multiple proprietary protocols preventing these systems from properly integrating with each other still persists to this day. OPC UA was conceived with the purpose to address this problem, but its success was only partial, and it’s still not as pervasive and adopted as it should be. MQTT is changing that scenario quickly, with smart sensors, cameras, and now even PLCs natively implementing this old but revamped protocol and edge computing is one of the vectors behind this transformation.

The increased demand for connectivity and 5G network-enabled IoT solutions is causing technology providers, telcos, agencies to rush to be first to market, clamoring for dominance in a relatively new, untapped market. This wave of competition may push some orgnisations to sacrifice security testing for speed, allowing potential vulnerabilities to remain hidden in the entire value chain of 5G, network and IoT.

The market for IoT device management has been rapidly evolving over the years, and 2020 has been particularly fast-paced. So what have we learned from 2020? Where is the market headed next? What success factors must enterprises using device management consider? To answer these questions, we will share insights from major projects in healthcare and innovation. Watch this webinar and learn what to look out for in IoT device management projects in 2021.
