Enhancing Manufacturing with IoT: Real-Time Monitoring and Automation

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way devices interact with each other and with users, enabling greater automation and efficiency across numerous sectors. However, as IoT devices proliferate, they also increase the risk of privacy breaches. Protecting user information within IoT ecosystems is increasingly crucial, as sensitive personal data is often transmitted and processed across interconnected devices. This paper explores the intersection of IoT and data privacy, examining the challenges associated with safeguarding user information in connected systems. It reviews existing frameworks, proposes privacy-enhancing technologies, and suggests guidelines for developing secure IoT environments that balance innovation and user privacy.
