Remote Monitoring Systems Have a Bright Future

Hello, and welcome to the final installment of our three-part blog series on the past, present, and future of remote monitoring systems. In our previous posts, we covered the history and development of remote monitoring systems and how these systems have benefited the industries that utilize them. In today’s post, we are going to address the future of remote monitoring systems and the challenges that these systems could face in a world of increasingly interconnected devices.

The Cloud Changed Everything

The cloud. If you are anything like us here at Mazik Things, you’ve probably heard quite a bit about the cloud in the the last five years. Cloud-based services, along with a boom in built-in wireless technology, has been a game changer for remote monitoring systems. While remote monitoring systems were always intended to allow technicians to monitor systems without needing to physically be near the sytem, cloud-based storage has taken this idea to a whole new level. With a cloud-based remote monitoring system, like the one offered by Mazik Things, technicians can literally monitor, assess, and tweak a system from anywhere in the world. Additionally, cloud-based remote monitoring systems allow for a larger amount of data to be collected with less hardware, all without the need for deletion or concern over storage space issues.

Remote Monitoring Systems Need Security

As remote monitoring systems have become more advanced and less dependent on physical hardware to operate, increased security has become a major issue. As these systems have become more flexible, and accessible through more channels, the danger posed by hackers and other nefarious groups has greatly increased. To address this issue, remote monitoring systems now incorporate specialized hardware that encrypts the accumulated data at all points as it is transmitted, ensuring that the only people that can access and control the machines are those with prior authorization.

Remote Monitoring Systems Going Forward

As the amount of data collected allows technicians to understand a specific machine’s performance at any given moment, we here at Mazik Things feel that this will inevitably lead to better quality control in production. Workers will immediately be able to detect anomalies along a production line, and these anomalies can be tracked down to a particular batch or a single product. Another industry that will greatly benefit from increased effectiveness of remote monitoring systems will be the printing industry. By closely monitoring printing presses many issues such as misprints, ink spotting, and unwanted color variations can be avoided or eliminated entirely. While these are just a few examples of how remote monitoring systems will continue to evolve and shape the processes of industries, they also show just how diverse the applications of this technology can and will be.
We hope that this blog series helped to shed some light on the future of remote monitoring systems. Here at Mazik Things, we believe that advances in remote monitoring systems technology will only serve to increase the productivity of the world we live in, and we are proud to offer both the hardware and software needed to accomplish this task.
