While work from home happens to be the new normal amidst the 
pandemic, two futuristic technologies have silently been supporting the 
infrastructure across the globe. Well, employees are presently working 
remotely, or partially remote from their homes. Combining technologies 
like IoT and cloud computing has made this possible. Right from training 
to asset management and executing tasks, the integration of IoT and 
cloud technologies have shown a new path.
In this post, you will get to know the impact of IoT on remote operations 
across various industry verticals.
Combining IoT and cloud computing: The modern technology for remote 
working
As global businesses battle the ongoing infrastructural crisis amidst the 
pandemic to proceed towards the future, integrating IoT and cloud 
technologies have helped them roll out an ideal business structure. With 
more connected devices coming into the scenario, there would be more 
data pouring in. This data needs to be efficiently tackled at the cloud 
systems. New job roles are coming up in various industries, such as data 
strategists and analysts. All these people significantly depend on the cloud 
infrastructure. Even customer support desks of leading global brands are 
currently dependent on the cloud architecture significantly.
Securely monitoring the manufacturing sector across remote platforms
While manual supervision has been a challenge amidst the pandemic for 
the manufacturing segment, remote operations integrating IoT and cloud 
systems have proven beneficial. IoT sensors remain connected through 
cloud tools and platforms. The managerial staff can gain relevant reports 
on the temperature of machines, usage, conditions, and other particulars. 
This availability of real-time data is crucial for the manufacturing sector. In 
case there is any breach in the threshold, the technicians are alerted by 
IoT devices. Besides, the maintenance schedules are also being 
automated to make proactive decisions and take corrective actions.
Strengthening supply chains
Regardless of the industry, managing an efficient supply chain involves 
tracking and monitoring. In the process, fleet and warehouse managers 
can keep an account of their inventory and cargo. Integrating cloud 
computing and IoT, managers can get remote access to the necessary 
information. They can also efficiently manage the shipments and monitor 
their inventory. The advanced systems also ensure that they can efficiently 
deal with instances of theft and damage of goods.
Remote asset management
Asset management turns out to be a tough challenge without physical 
proximity. However, advanced technology has enabled organizations to 
keep a track of their assets through the supply chain. In the process, they 
can gain proper details about their inventory. It also includes granular data 
like light exposure, tilt, container integrity, and temperature.
Remote workforce training
Human resource management has become a breezy affair with the 
inception of cloud technology and IoT technology. Managers can now 
provide customized programs to the staff remotely. This keeps the most 
important asset of businesses - the employees updated with the 
necessary skills.
Conclusion
The integration of cloud computing and IoT has significantly enhanced 
levels of productivity in several industries. Besides keeping workers 
equipped with the latest industry knowledge, it is possible to assure 
optimal management of assets as well as inventories. Altogether, new 
business models are more likely to embrace these technologies in running 
at highest productivity and efficiency levels all the time.
