As the internet of things (IoT) continues to play a larger role in manufacturing and industry, vendors face additional challenges in costs and the logistical burden of shifting to alternative solutions and sustainability.
While transitioning to self-sustaining power sources, like energy-harvesting technologies, can lower emissions in IoT, cost efficiencies and maintaining production flows are critical. The balancing act then needs to be met to reduce environmental issues while maintaining efficiency and cost.
Jérôme Vernet, VP of sales at Dracula Technologies, sat down with GlobalSpec to discuss some of the challenges and trends happening in IoT manufacturing space as it seeks to lower emissions in industry.
