Sono sempre più i dispositivi intelligenti e connessi presenti nelle case della gente oggi, ma il paradigma dell’IoT ha recentemente focalizzato la sua attenzione su un’industria che, nel corso della sua storia, ha subito diverse importanti trasformazioni: il settore industriale. Dotando gli asset fisici di sensori connessi, le aziende industriali sono in grado di trarre vantaggio da numerosi benefici, che comprendono il miglioramento dell’efficienza operativa, la riduzione del numero di incidenti sul posto di lavoro, la miglior gestione dei processi che si occupano del controllo qualità, il puntuale monitoraggio del flusso produttivo, etc. Questo lavoro si pone l’obiettivo di investigare la specifica applicazione dell’Industrial IoT nelle Industry 4.0 Smart Factories, analizzando il suo attuale stato di adozione e i maggiori trend che ne conseguono destinati a rivoluzionare l’intero settore. Per approfondire il tema, è stato analizzato il questionario Smart Factory 2018-19 lanciato dall’Osservatorio IoT del Politecnico di Milano ed è stato proposto un modello qualitativo composto da due dimensioni che consistono in due aspetti chiave dell’Industrial IoT and del suo specifico utilizzo nelle Smart Factories.

Abstract
Smart and connected devices are increasingly present in people’s home today, but the IoT paradigm has recently predated an industry which, over the course of history, experienced several disruptive transformations: the industrial sector. By equipping physical assets with connected sensors, industrial enterprises can take advantages from plenty of benefits, including the improvement of the overall operating efficiency, the reduction of workplace accidents, the management of the quality control processes, the accurate monitoring of the production flow, etc. This work focuses on investigating the specific application of the Industrial IoT in the Industry 4.0 Smart Factories, studying the current state of adoption and the major related trends that are expected to impact the manufacturing sector. With the aim of analysing the discussed topic, it has been performed the analysis of the Smart Factory Survey 2018-19 launched by the IoT Observatory of the Polytechnic University of Milan and it has been developed a qualitative framework consisting of two dimensions representing two key aspects of the Industrial IoT and its specific use in the Smart Factories.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
