Industrial Monitoring
One of the ‘original’ M2M markets, SCADA (Supervisory, Control and Data Acquisition) control systems have been widely used in oil, gas and other process management industries for more than 15 years. However, Industrial Monitoring and Control is a rapidly growing M2M segment that is predicted to grow annually by almost 35% through 2010 to an estimated 5.76 million devices (ABI Research). Through SCADA standards, M2M technology is being used to extract data from non-IT devices such as electrical, gas and oil meters as well as a myriad of other devices and deliver the data to critical business and monitoring systems.
The ability to monitor and control electrical power systems, water, oil and gas networks provides utility industries with a more cost-effective way to measure utilization (in real time), the ability to manage supply and demand and to more effectively anticipate, identify and fix problems. The cost savings associated with measuring utilization and providing maintenance functions is greatly enhanced when meters and other network elements are in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
Harbor Research has called this “Pervasive Intelligence”; allowing businesses to make immediate decisions based on accurate, real-time, data.
But, this market is broadening to also include the use of a wireless networks to connect specialized devices in a variety of new businesses, from retail outlets and fast-food restaurants to major production and business facilities. For example, Burger King has implemented wireless M2M solutions where devices capture alarms, send notifications, receive and process remote energy and security information and then uploads this to centralized business systems. The implementation of these solutions drives cost savings associated with energy efficiency, reduced peak demands and protection of perishable inventory or any other asset that may negatively impacted by loss of electricity, refrigeration or light.
