IOT (Internet of Things), describes the most advanced state of the process that began with the evolution of Internet networks, and allows objects and things to be connected to the Internet. “Thing” or “object” is understood to mean categories such as devices, appliances, plants and systems, tangible materials and products, works and goods, machinery and equipment.

The enormous amount of data collected by the network of interconnected machines and sensors allows improving the entire production chain, analysing in detail the weaknesses of the system and exploiting the technology to optimise costs and work time in order to make the company grow and be more competitive. With Industrial Internet Of Things (IIoT) solutions we can automate, control, track and manage any item, device and machine.

ZCS develops, implements and installs integrated IoT solutions based on specific customer requirements. The standard IoT module by ZCS can be connected to sensors (temperature, pressure, deformation, volumetric, identification systems, powered by battery pack and photovoltaic panel).

The new IIoT projects enable the continuous and real-time monitoring of movements and static changes of structures and manufactured products of methane pipes on the national grid and/or architectural structures, transmitting the information collected by IIoT modules directly in the Cloud with the aim of having a view of the entire infrastructure in real time, reducing intervention times.

Another recent IIoT project involves the creation of intelligent bins for smart waste sorting and urban hygiene. Each bin is equipped with a module that controls access, filling
level, temperature and location (mapping). Each bin is an autonomous unit as it is equipped with a photovoltaic panel and batteries. This system allows the operator to optimise the route of the vehicles, and to check that the waste is collected and separated in an intelligent manner by tracking (and potentially rewarding) those who separate waste in a conscious way.
