Industrial Internet of Things is an important part of Industry 4.0. LPWAN technology provides strong technical support for Industrial Internet of Things with its low power consumption, wide area coverage and large number of connections, and promotes the intelligence and efficiency of industrial production.

Ⅰ. Core Demands of Industrial Internet of Things

The core of Industrial Internet of Things is to realize the intelligent management of industrial production processes through Internet of Things technology. The low power consumption characteristics of LPWAN technology enable sensors and equipment to run for a long time without frequent battery replacement or charging, which provides an ideal solution for factory automation, warehouse management, environmental monitoring and other fields.

Ⅱ. Application of LPWAN Technology in Industrial Internet of Things

1. Factory Automation: LPWAN sensors can monitor the operating status of production equipment in real time and feed back data to the industrial management platform. For example, a factory has deployed an LPWAN equipment monitoring network to monitor the operating status of production equipment in real time and provide data support for equipment maintenance and fault diagnosis.

2. Warehouse Management: LPWAN technology can be used for warehouse management, such as inventory monitoring, cargo tracking, etc. By deploying LPWAN sensors, the inventory status and cargo location can be monitored in real time, the warehouse management process can be optimized, and the warehouse efficiency can be improved.
3. Environmental monitoring: LPWAN technology can realize intelligent management of factory environmental monitoring. Through LPWAN sensors, real-time monitoring of factory environment parameters such as temperature, humidity, and gas concentration can be carried out to ensure the safety of the factory environment.

III. Advantages of LPWAN technology

Low power consumption: The low power consumption characteristics of LPWAN technology enable the equipment to run for a long time, reducing maintenance costs.
Wide area coverage: LPWAN technology uses low-frequency signals, has strong penetration and diffraction capabilities, and can achieve long-distance communication in complex environments.
Large number of connections: LPWAN technology supports a large number of devices to be connected at the same time, which is very suitable for application scenarios in the industrial Internet of Things that require the connection of a large number of devices.

IV. Future prospects

With the continuous advancement of technology and the deepening of the construction of the industrial Internet of Things, LPWAN technology will play an increasingly important role in the industrial Internet of Things. In the future, LPWAN technology is expected to be combined with 5G, edge computing and other technologies to jointly promote the in-depth development and widespread popularization of industrial Internet of Things applications.
