The Rise in the Utilization of IoT Devices in Nuclear Facilities
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
The term Internet of Things (loT) encompasses everything connected to the internet, but it is increasingly being used to define objects that "talk" to each other. A broader term is that loT are the devices that connect to each other and to the internet. It has been mentioned that loT offers the potential for a "Forth industrial revolution" (1). This is primally because of the ease of use and quick link-up of devices within an area. This poses options for great interactivity but also create security concerns as many of these devices may not have been vetted for industrial use. By allowing for the intercommunication of these devices and combining with automated systems, we can now gather information, provide analysis and create automotive actions. This allows for faster response times as well as lowering the overall cost for operations in nuclear power facilities. (2)
