  May 15, 2025 0 155 The  Industrial Internet of Things  (IIoT) is a subset of the Internet of Things (IoT) that focuses on the  industrial sector . It involves the integration of smart sensors, actuators, and other advanced technologies with industrial systems to improve  automation , efficiency, and productivity. IIoT is a key component of Industry 4.0, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced decision-making processes. IIoT has evolved from traditional industrial automation and control systems. Over time, industries have progressed from mechanization using steam engines (Industry 1.0) to mass production with electricity (Industry 2.0), followed by computer-driven automation (Industry 3.0), and now the fusion of digital technologies, IoT, AI, and machine learning (Industry 4.0). The importance of IIoT in Industry 4.0 is immense as it enhances efficiency, reduces costs, enables predictive maintenance, and supports data-driven decision...

Clean air and water are fundamental determinants of health, yet pollution continues to pose challenges to communities across the country. The Canadian Public Health Association (CPHA) recognizes the need for policies that protect the environment as a means of safeguarding public health. Air and water pollution are not just environmental issues – they are public health matters that require coordinated action at all levels of government and society. The public health impact of air pollution Air pollution  is one of the most significant environmental health risks facing Canadians. According to Health Canada, air pollution contributes to approximately 15,300 premature deaths annually...

The roundtable on Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) emphasised balancing innovation and compliance through automation, collaboration, and data governance to drive sustainable business success A dynamic interplay between innovation and regulatory compliance is critical for modern Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) success. While the concept of managing the entire engineering lifecycle (ELM) has been around for a long time, its widespread adoption and the specific term ‘ELM’ is emerging in many industries in India. The need for improved efficiency and compliance has driven the rise of automated ELM workflows that offer more scope for interdepartmental collaboration in product design and delivery. Hence, the adoption of ELM software is seeing an uptick among large organisations and those in highly regulated sectors, further fuelled by technological advancements such as cloud computing and AI/ML to reduce process workflow errors and for informed decision-making.
