Revolutionizing Industrial IoT with LoRaWAN for Smarter and Greener Industries

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has transformed the traditional industrial processes into smart sensor-centric processes where data can be communicated wirelessly, stored in cloud and evaluated using advanced algorithms. In this approach, it is very important to handle sensor's data while multiple sensors spread within a larger geographical area and making the precise decision. LoRaWAN plays a key role in numerous applications while handling sensor data. This paper explores the potential of LoRaWAN in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The long-range, and lowpower capabilities of LoRaWAN plays an important role to increase operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability in many industries. The case study shows that LoRaWAN is a strategic enabler to IIoT innovation and sustainability despite of its challenges such as scalability, interference, and security.
