Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of the most transformative technologies of our time. AI can be used to analyse data and make predictions, while IoT can connect devices and collect data from the physical world. When these two technologies are combined, they can create powerful new applications that can improve business operations in a variety of ways.
Enhancing Predictive Maintenance
One way that AI and IoT can be used together is to improve predictive maintenance. By monitoring the data collected from IoT devices, AI can identify patterns that indicate when equipment is about to fail. This information can then be used to schedule preventive maintenance, which can help to avoid costly downtime.
Consider, for instance, a manufacturing plant employing AI and IoT to oversee the condition of its machinery. When AI detects early signs of wear and tear, it can autonomously generate a maintenance request. This proactive approach ensures that maintenance is scheduled before any critical failures occur, thus averting unplanned downtime and preserving productivity.
Elevating Customer Service
Another way that AI and IoT can be used together is to improve customer service. By tracking customer behaviour data, AI can identify potential problems and proactively reach out to customers to resolve them. This can help to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Imagine a retail store equipped with AI and IoT, meticulously monitoring customer movements within the store. When AI identifies a customer displaying interest in a product but hesitating to make a purchase, it can promptly notify a sales associate for assistance. This not only boosts sales but also leaves customers with a positive shopping experience.
Optimising Supply Chain Management
AI and IoT can also be used together to improve supply chain management. By tracking the location and condition of goods in transit, AI can help optimize delivery routes and reduce the risk of lost or damaged goods.
For example, a logistics company can deploy AI and IoT to monitor its fleet of lorries. When AI detects a delay, it can instantly reroute the lorry to minimise further delays. This optimisation enhances delivery times and trims operational costs.
