“Cost savings integrating devices”

Oct 14, 2019
The experience in general terms I have to recognize that it has been very good, it helps us to have our work teams integrated and have detailed information on their performance in real time. All this very well configured through a very simple and detailed access that allows us to see from a global perspective our teams, the resources they consume, the hours that are operational among many other things.

Like

The biggest advantage is saving, because this technology can replace the human in many activities and even do better, to monitor or maintain. The data is extremely important for this technology, since the more information you have it will be much easier for us to make a decision. For example, see what we need when it comes to work teams. The registration of the user panel when having a tracking system, you can know what services we offer, when is your delivery day. What makes life easier for people who use this Iot. Another great advantage is the time that IoT saves us since all these activities are now delegated to the machines and this saves us a lot of work.

Like

Data tracking and monitoring of our activity. Nowadays it is almost obligatory to use the computer or mobile phone in addition to accounting for what we do and how we do it, this tool links it in the cloud. This is just an example of how IoT facilitates the interconnection of people through different devices. Thanks to the IoT, we have greater control of the domotics of the company, this helps us to have a detailed knowledge of the devices that make up the company, from the central heating to the equipment, the times of entry, exit ...

Like

Significant increase in execution speed and significant reduction in time. Elimination of time between activities. Greater consistency in the application of business management standards. Elimination of traffic, accumulation and printing and paper costs. It allows the use of different systems of different platforms (integration) without the employee having to memorize the screens to be used (the screens are available automatically).

Dislike

The systems still have to work more since there may be bugs where notifications are sent to all the people connected to the device. To this day, there is no standardization for IoT, since it is barely working for the IEEE, which makes each company develop it as it is best and therefore, compatibility between devices of different brands is almost impossible . This is the biggest disadvantage of this IoT, since we have seen that the information used is not encrypted and its security methods are very lax.

Dislike

Although today the devices are available to any user, sometimes the operation of this Iot can be complex. The lack of security, as in any technology can be hacked and the information could fall into unwanted hands, although it is true that more and more progress is being made in this area. At this point, the user must always take the appropriate security measures, although in this case the security depends on the pep sedle

Dislike

It does not allow you to have greater control over the security and the initial configuration of the software when the provider has complete control. Continuous monitoring by staff is necessary, which raises the long-term cost. The modifications of some modules are quite complex when making variations.
