Remote monitoring
Remote monitoring refers to the surveillance and supervision of systems, devices, or processes from a distance via data networks. It allows real-time data collection from production equipment, infrastructure, or environmental conditions without physical presence.
Remote monitoring often uses IoT devices, sensors, and cloud services for data collection, analysis, and automated alerts in case of anomalies. It enhances operational efficiency, reduces downtime, and enables predictive maintenance. In industrial settings, for example, remote monitoring is used to oversee machine health and performance, ensuring timely maintenance and preventing unexpected production interruptions.
