Would like to know if anyone is using IoT sensors to provide information and/or notifications of events (ideally on the shop floor). These would be things like temperature, pressure, open/closed/, movement, etc. sensors that can alert via text of email. If you don't mind, provide information on what is being sensed, how it's being "passed on" (via event notification, into a database, etc.) and some opinion on how useful the information is.
Just FYI, I'm on a project (sounds like it's gov sponsored) to help promote this and some other technologies. Please note that I'm am NOT a proponent of technology just because it's out there and available, IMO it has to have a proven usefulness. I'm a firm believer in "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". However, this stuff is "cheap and easy" if you have a needed application. I've been playing around with Monnit's stuff, the only issue thus far is that they can't ship very fast (isn't that ironic for an IT company!).
Thanks,
