USING THE INDUSTRIAL INTERNET OF THINGS (IIOT) TO OPTIMISE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT ENTERPRISES

Abstract

The article considers conceptual and applied aspects of the introduction of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) as a tool for optimising energy efficiency at enterprises. In the context of global energy instability, rising energy costs, aggravation of environmental problems, and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enterprises are forced to reconsider traditional approaches to energy management. To solve these problems, the introduction of innovative digital solutions into production processes is becoming increasingly important. The use of IIoT technologies as a combination of sensor devices, analytics systems, cloud platforms and automated control systems creates new approaches to energy management. IIoT solutions open up new opportunities to control the transparency of energy processes and to respond to deviations in a timely manner. Results. The functional architecture of IIoT systems, mechanisms for data collection and analysis, and the ability to predict energy consumption and optimise energy loads in real time are considered. The use of the industrial Internet of Things with automated control systems, load forecasting and real-time analytics helps to reduce production costs. The principles of building an IIoT infrastructure include cloud data services, intelligent algorithms and visualization tools. The study confirms that the introduction of IIoT technologies is becoming a promising tool for the digital transformation of production and modernisation of the energy sector of enterprises.
