Analytics in action

Advances in IoT and automation are transforming the testing, measurement and instrumentation industry, resulting in operational efficiency, data accuracy, and sustainability practices.

Advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation are revolutionising the testing and measurement industry like never before!

Real-time, continuous data collection from a variety of sensors and instruments now enables instant feedback on critical parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rates. The result? Faster decision-making and immediate process adjustments that enhance operational efficiency.

What's more, automated calibration systems improve accuracy by reducing human error and integrating data from multiple sources, providing a more precise and comprehensive view of measurements.

Dr Bijal Sanghvi, Managing Director, Axis Solutions Pvt Ltd, says, "Predictive analytics, powered by IoT data, allow companies to detect trends, identify anomalies, and implement predictive maintenance strategies, preventing unexpected failures and optimising testing schedules based on actual equipment conditions." He adds that automation streamlines repetitive tasks, freeing human resources for complex analysis and decision-making.

Gaurav Bawa, Senior Vice President, WIKA India, shares, "IoT and automation are enabling improved operational efficiency, enhancing data accuracy, and enabling proactive maintenance strategies." WIKA India's IoT-enabled sensors support remote diagnostics and seamless data flow between devices. Meanwhile, automation boosts accuracy, reduces manual intervention, and accelerates response time, enhancing efficiency and productivity across industries such as pharma and HVAC.
