Visibility of resources and assets in the shipyard through industrial internet of things

Abstract

Industrial Internet of Things is becoming one of the fundamental technologies with the potential to be widely used in shipyards as in other industries to increase information visibility. This article aims to analyze how to develop an industrial IoT-enabled system that provides visibility and tracking of assets at SEDEF Shipyard, which is in the digital transformation process. The research made use of data from previous studies and by using content analysis, the findings were discussed. Industrial IoT enables the collection and analysis of data for more informed decisions.  Based on the findings, sensor data in the shipyard are transmitted to the cloud via connected networks. These data are analysed and combined with other information and presented to the stakeholders. Industrial IoT enables this data flow and monitors processes remotely and gives the ability to quickly change plans as needed.
