Industrial Internet of things (IIoT)
Vishnu Narayan June 12, 2024

The Internet of Things or IoT is spreading its influence across several sectors of life such as manufacturing industry, transportation, utilities, agriculture etc. The transformation is happening in the wildlife sector too.  

Consider the picture of a dense forest that is monitored with the help of intelligent devices, quietly listening and alerting conservationists in real time. This is happening not just in the manufacturing sector but stepping into the wild where preserving sustainability standards is of utmost value.  

IIoT platforms pave the way for conservationists to keep track of real happenings in the forest, and this is now the new face of wildlife protection. Moreover, the best part is that this can be done with less human supervision and is guided by smart sensors, real-time data flow, and automated insights. The result? Protecting wildlife aided by data-driven insights using IIoT platforms.
