Industrial IoT

IIoT is key to reducing the environmental impact of the global supply chain

Via Inmarsat Media Centre

Nov 1, 2018

01 November 2018: Improving the environmental sustainability of their operations through the adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies is a crucial priority for organisations engaged in the global supply chain, according to a new a study undertaken on behalf of Inmarsat.

Almost half (46%) of respondents reported that monitoring environmental conditions (such as water, soil and air quality) and improving resource efficiency are the two largest drivers behind the adoption of IIoT-based solutions.

The research also highlighted the good news that many global supply chain organisations are realising their sustainability objectives through the use of IIoT. Over two thirds (67 per cent) of respondents with fully deployed or trial-stage IIoT solutions stated they were achieving environmental sustainability improvements.

Resilient connectivity

Access to reliable and resilient connectivity is essential for IIoT technologies to function, enabling the constant transmission of data to optimise operations. With many global supply chain organisations operating in remote regions or at sea, where terrestrial networks are not available, satellite communications networks are key to achieving this and achieving the benefits that IIoT has to offer.

Reported early successes in achieving sustainability objectives have been seen in the implementation of smart electrical grids, smart street lighting, environmental monitoring and fuel efficiency monitoring and telemetry.

However, the research also uncovered that those organisations with unreliable connectivity were far less likely to be achieving improved environmental sustainability, reinforcing the importance of connectivity for successful IIoT deployments.

Government regulations

Commenting on the findings, Paul Gudonis, President at Inmarsat Enterprise, said:

“The global supply chain is faced with a multitude of challenges, tasked with reducing its impact on the environment and adhering to stricter government regulations, while accommodating the needs of a growing population. Our research shows that organisations are adopting IIoT to help them achieve these goals, and that many are succeeding in this aim.

“However, it is clear that without the right connectivity networks, IIoT deployments won’t succeed in delivering the improvements in sustainability they are capable of. The global nature of the supply chain means that organisations need reliable connectivity to gather mission critical data from every area of their operations and analyse it in real-time, though patchy terrestrial coverage makes this challenging. With global and reliable coverage, only satellite communications offers the levels of connectivity organisations need to make IIoT a success.”

Inmarsat is a leading provider of mobile satellite connectivity for Industrial IoT deployments across the global supply chain. Our award-winning services are enabling end-to-end transparency across the production, extraction, manufacture and multi-modal transportation of goods.

IIoT applications

We own and operate the world’s most reliable L-band satellite network offering 99.9% availability suitable for critical IIoT applications, rugged and energy efficient terminals, and low latency data transmission. It is the ideal connectivity solution for enabling monitoring and automation applications in remote and hostile environments.
