Real-Time, Smart IoT for Temporary Sites

RAD Podcast Overview

This episode of Your Network’s Edge: The RAD Way, provides an overview of how Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology can be used to monitor high-value assets at temporary sites, such as construction zones, event venues, and emergency response areas. It explains that traditional asset monitoring focuses on fixed locations, but temporary sites require a rapid and efficient setup to track equipment like generators and pumps, ensuring they are working continuously and are not stolen. Failures or theft at these temporary locations lead to significant project delays and cost increases, which IIoT solutions address by offering real-time visibility and alerts. Furthermore, the podcast discusses the technical architecture, including the use of IoT gateways, LoRa sensors, and edge computing, to provide continuous monitoring, predictive maintenance insights, and improved security for critical machinery.
