The benefits of using sensors and IIoT technology are well documented in terms of implementing predictive and prescriptive maintenance, improving parts management, and greatly increasing overall reliability and profitability. What is not always considered is that IIoT/sensor technology also plays a major role in improving plant safety. In this podcast, we talk with ABB’s (us.abb.com) Artur Rdzanek about the safety role of sensors, where to place them for maximum advantage, and the various benefits you can realize from this technology.
