It is claimed to be China’s first Internet of Things (IoT) based production line monitoring and management application.
The Nasdaq listed China Information Technology, Inc., a provider of integrated Cloud-based solutions in digital education, smart family and business, public information release, and other information technology solutions in China, today announced that it had “successfully” produced such an IOT based application, deployed first in Shenzhen, China.
The company is also headquartered in Shenzhen, China. China Information Technology, Inc., through its subsidiaries and other consolidated entities, provides information technologies and Cloud-based business solutions in China. The products include Smart EduCloud and Public InfoCloud; IT solutions include geographic information systems (GIS), digital public security technology (DPST), and hospital information systems (HIS).
By integrating technologies of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), infrared sensor, video surveillance, remote information distribution and the Company’s proprietary Cloud-based solution, the new Application significantly enhances visibility for the factory management, China Information Technology Inc. said in a press statement.
IoT and Internet applications can relay the production line data to the enterprise-based systems and even to the decision makers more quickly, thus improving the entire product quality assurance process.
The new app also enhances internal work collaborations between teams by having updated workflow charts, inspection procedures and training courses delivered to the proper worker groups via digital displays in real time. Not only that, it allows the government and regulatory authorities’ remote access to any interested information of the production process.
The new product has a certain amount of consumer satisfaction built in for it enables customers an easy and effective method of tracing the production process of products through the data provided by the Application and displayed at designated retail terminals. Though one really wonders whether consumers would be interested in going to such lengths.
For the the future, the company hopes to bring in an enhanced product that will help clients with marketing and online purchase payments via e-applications involving two-dimensional bar-codes including QR codes, which can be integrated into popular mobile e-commerce capable platforms including Tencent’s WeChat social mobile application. CNIT aims to drive value for its clients from their factory floor to retail stores and to their bank accounts in a continuous process.
After the rollout, Jiang Huai Lin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CNIT, said the Internet of Things was considered as the “fourth Industrial Revolution”, and it will play a critical role in the realisation of “Smart Manufacturing”, which was also receiving great awareness in China. The Application’s successful deployment in Shenzhen would serve as a pilot for a wider roll-out through the country, he revealed.
