IOT Implementation in Power Tool

1. - Mohan Narasaiah
Integration-Internet of Things (IoT) in Power
Tools…. A Case Study.

2. Background and context of the initiative
• The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with
electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by
exchanging data with the Consumers,Designers,manufacturer,operator and/or other connected
devices.
• A power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism.
Integration of IoT and Power Tools....?

3. • Need for Faster Accomplishment of Power tool projects..
• Understanding the real time problems and real time solutions to customer or
consumers.
• Visibility to real-time overall equipment effectiveness and line productivity and
reducing production line change over time for manufacturing.
• Maintaining the Real time database of Power Tool Product.
• Add simplicity, reliability and efficiency of the Power product to consumers.

Essential Technologies Involved in IoT
• RFID Technology
• Sensor Technology
• Wireless Communication
• Energy Harvesting Technologies
• Cloud Computing
• Advanced Internet Protocol (IPv6)
Designer should include the below technologies during the design and
development of product or components for successful Intelligent Power
tool ( Power + IoT).

6. • For Designer :
 Real time data for Designer to improve the efficiency, Battery, performance of internal
components for continuous product development.
 Analyze the failure mode like motor issue, mechanism by integration of Inbuilt sensor and
RFID’s.
 Helps in come up innovative products for future and fulfill customer satisfaction..
 Sense the market pulse..
 Crowd sourcing design.
• For Manufacturer :
 Provided visibility to the line managers to immediately react to line issues
 Allowed faster decision making because of immediate notifications of any issues during
manufacturing.
• For Consumer :
 Real Time Solutions for Power tool Product
 Parts of Power Tool management incase of component Breakdown.
 Customized auto defect order placement online.
 Local dealer/service centre.
