Abstract :

It is now an inevitable reality that the use of the Internet has significantly changed our daily life by increasing communication, information sharing and mutual interaction among people. The new technological concept, called Internet of Things (IOT), is defined as the intelligent connection of intelligent devices through objects that perceive and communicate with each other. With this technology, it is possible to monitor almost all the events that occur in the environment we live in (houses, schools, workplaces, factories, cities, etc.) and collect data by using sensor devices which all are in small size and using wireless technology. Likewise, using the required data that can be transferred from industrial systems related to production/manufacturing units into the Information System has also revealed another concept called Industrial IoT (IIoT). Real-time continuous data flow from the sensing devices and the production data terminals is made available for the Information Systems through the storage, database and application services given by Cloud Service Providers in the internet environment. Such an IIOT information flow will result in positive changes that affect our daily activities, business lives and industrial production systems. By combining the industry and IOT, intelligent devices used in production will ensure that real-time information is evaluated by Decision Support Systems by minimizing human error. This will have many favorable effects such as increasing the production capacity, reducing costs, creating competitive products. In this study, we have examined the studies on the adaptation of IoT into the industrial production, discussed its positive contributions in different application examples such as automatic storage, preventive maintenance, underground mining, smart environmental systems and given additional information about the open research issues.
