IoT in Industry: connecting efficiency, innovation, and results with Grupo Autcomp

The Internet of Things (IoT) is redefining the boundaries of industrial automation.

By integrating sensors, actuators, embedded systems, and real-time connectivity, Industrial IoT (IIoT) enables intelligent control of production processes, increased efficiency, and reduced operating costs.

With over 33 years of experience supplying electronic components, Grupo Autcomp is a strategic partner for companies seeking to implement robust, scalable, and secure IoT solutions in industrial environments.

What is Industrial IoT and how does it transform processes?

Industrial IoT (IIoT) consists of integrating electronic devices such as sensors, microcontrollers, and communication modules into a network capable of collecting, processing, and transmitting operational data in real time.

This connectivity allows machines to “talk” to each other, continuously sharing performance and status data, making it possible to achieve:

• Remote, real-time monitoring of equipment

• Optimization of production processes based on analytical data

• Predictive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime

• Energy efficiency through intelligent consumption control

• Full traceability of processes and products

Technical aspects of Industrial IoT

Implementing an Industrial IoT architecture involves combining three main layers:

Data Sensing and Acquisition Layer

Analog and digital sensors (temperature, pressure, flow, vibration, etc.). Dedicated microcontrollers (such as Microchip and Nordic). High-precision A/D converters and I²C, SPI, or UART interfaces.

Local Processing Layer (Edge Computing)

Embedded processing in industrial gateways or connected MCUs. Application of calibration algorithms, noise filtering, and thermal compensation. Real-time control of actuators and peripheral devices.

Connectivity and Cloud Layer

Industrial protocols (Modbus, CAN, MQTT, OPC-UA). Secure transmission via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LoRa, or 5G. Cloud storage for data analysis and machine learning.

When well integrated, these layers enable factories to operate in a smarter and more autonomous way, with automated, data-driven decision-making.

How does Grupo Autcomp support Industrial IoT implementation?

Grupo Autcomp acts as a complete technology partner, offering everything from component supply to technical support at every stage of the project:

High-performance electronic component distribution

Partnerships with global manufacturers such as Honeywell, Microchip, Everlight, Nordic, and others, ensuring reliable supply, traceability, and ISO 9001 quality.

Engineering services – Design House

Development of customized solutions with embedded hardware, firmware, and integration of sensors, microcontrollers, and industrial communication modules.

Specialized technical support

A qualified engineering team to assist with component selection, prototyping, migration, and project optimization.

End-to-end solutions

Technical follow-up from concept to production, ensuring cost reduction, operational reliability, and field performance validation.

Expected results with Industrial IoT

Adopting Industrial IoT boosts key performance indicators such as:

• OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness): increased availability and productivity

• MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): longer average time between failures

• Accelerated ROI: faster return on investment driven by operational efficiency

• Sustainability: energy control, waste reduction, and cleaner processes

• 
  

These gains are achieved through strong technology partnerships, like those Grupo Autcomp has built with Brazilian industry for more than three decades.

Industrial IoT is a cornerstone of Industry 4.0, enabling smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable factories. Grupo Autcomp delivers the ideal combination of quality, engineering, and innovation, connecting companies to technology solutions that transform results.

Autcomp – Technology that connects. Quality that transforms.
