Abstract: Digital transformation is associated with many benefits and the commonly recognised usage is machine condition monitoring. Internet of things (IoT) technologies such as radio frequency identification and wireless sensor networks (WSN) are commonly applied in different situations, but the current study primarily focuses on WSN to establish the importance of IoT in manufacturing. This study establishes the impact of IoT in manufacturing based on the impact of WSN on machine health monitoring. Both primary and secondary sources was used whereby data was obtained from the literature data in databases and existing studies. The results indicate that interconnected devices enable communication and sending alerts regarding defects and machine malfunctions. IoT helps to rectify the machine to ensure effective performance, reduce production costs, and improve safety and mass customisation. Consequently, the main benefits of IoT include faster and more informed decisions, reduced downtime, higher product quality, predictive maintenance and greater energy efficiency.
