<p>Technology has always played a part in industrial development. Now, innovations in cloud computing, data analytics, blockchain, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving the latest generation of manufacturing. Also known as Industry 4.0, smart industry draws on real-time data insights combined with integrated IT and operational technology (OT) systems to drive efficiency, resilience, and flexibility in manufacturing.</p><p>Data lies at the heart of smart industry, making the industrial IoT's role pivotal. Manufacturers gain real-time insight into their operations by collecting and analyzing data from sensors across manufacturing and industrial sites. These sensors can collect data such as vibration or temperature, capture and analyze images, or detect the location of moving items. And by integrating IT systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) with OT systems, manufacturers can act on this data in real-time.</p><p>Benefits include identifying when equipment needs maintenance, undertaking AI-based quality control on production lines, and retooling machines in real-time to personalize products based on changing customer requirements. These benefits can extend beyond a single factory and company. By integrating data with the wider supply chain, companies can predict demand, switch suppliers during disruption and ensure product traceability from raw materials to the finished product.</p><p>The network plays a crucial role in collecting and processing data, both inside and outside of the smart factory. Factories and industrial facilities are often challenging environments for networks. They can be in remote locations, and the significant presence of metal structures can make optimizing wireless networks difficult. Factories will typically use multiple networks for different requirements, including 5G, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, IP VPNs, LTE, LoRAWAN, satellite, and industrial networks like Modbus, Serial, DeviceNet, Profibus, Fieldbus.</p><p>Security is a prime consideration for smart industry, with cybercriminals targeting smart facilities for extortion, espionage, and disruption. These attacks can come from either IT or OT systems because of the increased integration. Securing this converged environment requires segmentation of systems and collaboration between IT and OT teams.</p><h5>Orange offers a wide range of devices and equipment suitable for smart industry deployment.

Texas Instruments

The device DL-MBX enables remote monitoring of water level, fill level of tanks and silos, fill level of waste containers, presence of objects or snow level. It measures the distance between the sensor head and the target (rangefinder). The measurement principle is based on ultrasonic waves which are transmitted by the sensor and reflected back from nearby objects. Using the time of flight of the sound waves and the speed of sound (temperature compensated), the sensor computes the traveling distance and thus the distance to the object.

Applications

- Outdoor remote monitoring
- Water level monitoring in running water
- Flood monitoring
- Waste water management, sewer system monitoring
- Level / depth monitoring in water tanks
- Snow level monitoring
- Waste management / smart bin: monitor waste bins and recycling containers
- Smart agriculture: fill level monitoring in grain, fertilizer or pellets silos
- Irrigation ponds monitoring
