The Internet of Things (IoT) is already the cornerstone of Industry 4.0. This is how it works: we understand one thing (thing) as any device that can be assigned an IP and can be connected so that we can receive a series of data that serve, among others, to make decisions or improve the production process in the industrial plant. IoT is a real revolution for the industrial sector which, however, suffers from a lack of talent. Although industrial IoT-related jobs are only increasing, the market lacks the necessary professionals. A relatively new set of skills or knowledge is therefore required, it is difficult to find professionals already trained in these new fields.. According to a survey, more than 4.5 million professionals with IOT expertise will probably be needed in the future.
From Zemsania Tech Industry & Engineering, as experts in Industry 4.0, we present you the skill sets needed to be an IoT professional. If you have knowledge in the fields we will explain below, congratulations! You can be a crucial part of Industry 4.0 in an innovative job, highly demanded and with a great future.
Skills needed to work with IoT
Machine Learning
Machine learning algorithms make machines smarter by enabling them to make predictions by recognizing patterns in data. In addition, they also allow us to create smarter products using information from sensors and other connected devices. Because of the vast amount of data that IoT provides, this ability will be very necessary.
AutoCAD
This software allows engineers to design machines, which with the convergence with IoT will become increasingly complex. Connections often require a change in the design and AutoCAD allows this to be done even at the last minute, with great efficiency. This ability will be in demand one 108% more compared to the rest.
Security infrastructure
Due to the complex connectivity of IoT, data could be exposed in the network, so advanced knowledge in security infrastructures is required to develop IoT to the maximum and without worries.
Big Data
IoT has a large amount of data that is updated daily, in addition, new amounts are being added, therefore, companies need to filter them and avoid information that arrives repeated. The data, well treated, should provide an accurate situation of the business and the keys to make it grow. The use of artificial intelligence along with this data analysis can help companies get results faster and more efficiently.
Electrical Engineering
Software engineers and electronics engineers will be in high demand in this IoT-driven future. They will be able to assist in the development of embedded devices for mobile applications, as well as effective radio communication.
Circuit design
To meet IoT requirements, chip and circuit designs will have to be adjusted and adapted, providing the amount and power of energy needed for proper operation.
The profile of the person working with IoT is that of the multi-skilled professional in various technological fields. Therefore, IT profiles that want to achieve professional success in the coming years must take all these skills into account.
