so, strengthen their bottom line. But is IoT really that new? In a sense, it is simply the latest step in information evolution on the farm. The earliest examples are perhaps gauges \u2013 devices that allow the farmer to monitor fuel levels, oil pressure, RPM, and engine temperature right from the operator\u2019s seat. <\/span><\/p>\n As technology advanced, manufacturers put sensors on seeding and harvesting equipment, allowing the producer to make adjustments on the fly and identify problems before they become expensive errors. <\/span><\/p>\n The first grain loss monitors alerted the person on the combine that their machine wasn\u2019t threshing properly and losing crop out the back end. But they still often had to shut down the machine, get out of the cab, and make manual adjustments.<\/span><\/p>\n Read more in our Tech Tuesday article on IoT in Agriculture<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title=”IoT & High Tech Manufacturing” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n For every product, there is a critical point where production must be scaled up quickly to meet demand while maintaining strict quality standards.\u00a0<\/span>At North Star Systems, the idea to outsource Tattle device manufacturing became a reality when we were introduced to Calian SED a local company in Saskatoon.<\/span><\/p>\n For us, Calian SED was the next logical step for company growth.

GPS systems track the location of water and sewer tanker trucks. With these data flowing continuously via the Internet, operators can manage their services from anywhere via smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\nSolving Problems With IoT<\/h2>\n
