The Internet of Things (IoT) and smart manufacturing have applications in most industrial and service sectors. In manufacturing industries, IoT can help improve the performance of machinery, reduce production costs, increase the quality of products, and improve workplace safety.Given the industrial conditions of the country, it can be said that many Iranian industries require smart manufacturing. In general, industries that have high production costs, complex and time-consuming processes, require quality control, or need to track and trace materials benefit more from smart manufacturing. This article aims to examine those industries that require smart manufacturing to increase productivity and improve performance.&nbsp;Advancement to Modern Levels: Smart Manufacturing in the Petrochemical IndustryPetrochemical is one of the largest oil industries in Iran and is known as one of the most important industrial sectors worldwide. In general, smart manufacturing in the petrochemical industry involves the use of information and communication technologies, automated controls, commercial and technical innovations, intelligent monitoring, big data processing, and information security.The goal of smart manufacturing in the petrochemical industry is to increase productivity, reduce cost pressures, increase the profit-to-revenue ratio, and improve performance. This challenge must be addressed by utilizing appropriate design and precise improvements, more accurate data, and overall increasing the processing power of information in the petrochemical industry. Smart manufacturing in the petrochemical industry in Iran will be one of the effective solutions to increase performance, reduce costs, and improve quality. Some of the major companies active in the petrochemical industry that have emphasized the need for smart manufacturing include Persian Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, Bandar Imam Petrochemical Company, Khorasan Petrochemical Company, and Lorestan Petrochemical Company.&nbsp;Leading Steel Industry in Smart AutomationThe steel industry in Iran requires smart automation to improve efficiency in the future due to the complexity of production processes. Smart automation can improve product quality, reduce production costs, and enhance the control of quality and quantity of materials. Mohsen Shiribabadi, the Manager of Strategic Planning and Organizational Excellence at Khuzestan Steel Company, states that it is predicted that in the coming years, the automation of business processes will create a new revolutionary change in industries worldwide. He says, "The steel industry, as one of the determining industries in the global economy, will undergo tremendous changes in the coming years. Moving towards the use of new technologies in the steel industry will have many benefits for both producers and consumers of this valuable metal. Nevertheless, it seems that these changes require special attention in the country's policymaking to avoid falling behind in this important caravan." Khuzestan Steel Company and Mobarakeh Steel Company, as two of the largest steel producers in the country, are striving to move forward with the use of advanced technologies in line with the latest global technology. In recent years, these two companies have successfully undergone transformations in their information systems, communication infrastructure, and data centers by focusing on strategic goals. The use of advanced technologies in production lines, such as advanced algorithms in the steelmaking and melting process, monitoring systems, wireless canopies, management dashboards, and the development of mobile application systems, can also be mentioned.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

History and evolution process of CSA&nbsp;<img src="https://platform.iotsmile.com/assets/uploads/5f63552c989d7b0a--7addee5b--1410e9de--a9c8cee5--0a5ff7c5e90680399ce110c87743443.png">In 2002, nearly 20 years ago, a group called the Zigbee Alliance was formed in the United States with the aim of developing a set of standards for IoT devices or wireless home automation devices that use the Zigbee communication protocol. The main mission of this group was to help simplify, harmonize and create global open-source standards for the Internet of Things (IoT). As the group has added other specialties such as smart energy, green energy, and home entertainment and gaming systems, and these specialties need to expand beyond the Zigbee protocol and work with other wireless standards, it has recently renamed itself as a CSA. &nbsp;“The name change comes at a time when we have a lot of new innovations for the organization,”&nbsp;said&nbsp;Tobin&nbsp;Richardson, president and CEO of the Connectivity Standards Committee (CSA), who was the former chair of the Zigbee Alliance.”&nbsp;Zigbee&nbsp;will continue to be a very important pillar of our standards, but it's just one of several.”&nbsp;Goals and missionThe Connectivity Standards Committee (CSA)&nbsp;With its leading role on the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, aims to actively contribute to the development, evolution and promotion of global open-source standards that enable all objects to be securely connected and interact with each other&nbsp;and lead the development of the smart home ecosystem.The main mission of CSA is to transform the way people live, work and play around the world. This committee strives to lead the movement towards a more intuitive and useful world by promoting the expertise of its members, accredited certification programs and providing a complete set of open-source Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.One of the core values of this committee is to&nbsp;“build trust”&nbsp;to create a more responsible, innovative, sustainable and secure platform in the IoT industry. Certification programs, protection of investments, acceleration of development and building trust in the market are among the actions that the Connection Standardization Committee (CSA) takes in this direction.<figure class="image"><img src="https://platform.iotsmile.com/assets/uploads/2f4ad02fd937a905--70dde16a--141de1d9--a9c9cde6--0b5cfbc5e404873f98e419ca6486054.png"><figcaption>Figure 2- “Building trust” is intended to create a more responsible and sustainable platform of CSA values</figcaption></figure>CSA Global MembersThe Connectivity Standards Committee (CSA), which has more than 500 global members including Apple, Google, Amazon, LG and Samsung, has three levels of membership:&nbsp;Adopter, participant and developer.&nbsp;Adopting members are allowed to access the full Zigbee specifications and standards. Participating members have voting rights, and developers play an important role in the development of product standards.&nbsp;Why CSA?In order to make the Internet of Things (IoT) more accessible, safer and more usable, the Connectivity Standards Committee (CSA) develops and promotes global and open-source standards.

In fact, it is a seal of approval that different devices will seamlessly connect and work together. This simplifies product development strategies for manufacturers and increases compatibility for consumers. In the Matter project, the devices targeted for launch include lighting and electrical products, such as lamps, televisions, plugs and sockets, HVAC controls such as thermostats and air conditioning units, door locks and garage door sensors.&nbsp;<img class="image_resized" style="width:13.76%;" src="https://platform.iotsmile.com/assets/uploads/bb31861d5dbb7207--74d8e17c--1418ebd2--a8cfcaed--0550f4ceed0a82309de01fc01193475.png">Zigbee is actually the most extensive and complete Internet of Things (IoT) solution; From the mesh network to the universal language that allows smart objects to work seamlessly together by connecting to each other. Zigbee is designed with new and old technologies in mind and their compatibility. It therefore increases choice and flexibility for users and developers, and ensures that products and services will work together through standardization and testing of all layers of the stack.&nbsp;<img class="image_resized" style="width:17.44%;" src="https://platform.iotsmile.com/assets/uploads/1c7ff2019c10cf0c--74dbe68f--1418e4d7--a9c9cee5--0f51f7cce20b803199e417c42323572.png">This innovation is one of the most important features of Zigbee, which enables the direct use of energy harvesting technology with the Zigbee stack. It can be said that Green Power is a global wireless standard for those devices that are expensive to replace batteries and access devices. Green Power devices combine energy harvesting capabilities with a reliable, low-power grid to create battery-free solutions for the commercial and residential markets.&nbsp;<img class="image_resized" style="width:18.62%;" src="https://platform.iotsmile.com/assets/uploads/2e7bfe39d87ad907--75d5e18d--1414eedc--abc1c2e8--015cf5c6ee088e3a9fec18ca1035917.png">Smart Energy is a world-leading innovation for those products that have the ability to interact and monitor, inform and automate the delivery and use of energy and water. Smart Energy supports the diverse needs of a global ecosystem of utilities, manufacturing and regulators. Because they are planning to respond to energy, water and gas needs in the future. This allows consumers to reduce their energy consumption and save money by providing correct and reliable information.&nbsp;<img class="image_resized" style="width:15.84%;" src="https://platform.iotsmile.com/assets/uploads/3b5702ad140d1107--71d2ee8f--141ce1d5--a8c2c1ed--0a5cf9c7e6098c3d90ee19ce8412118.png">The Dotdot data model is the primary language for all the smart devices we use on a daily basis. Therefore, these tools can interact with each other in any network and work more efficiently. The Dotdot data model is based on the Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL), which is also used in Zigbee and Matter technologies. This innovation is able to define and standardize all kinds of devices by doing years of testing and acceptance in the market. It is also able to define the commands sent or received by the device. As a result, different smart devices can understand and speak the same language at the application layers, regardless of the network transport infrastructure.&nbsp;Access Control&nbsp;Today, smart access control solutions for homes and buildings have become dedicated solutions. Card or token-based access control for use in commercial buildings can be a little difficult; Because it lacks consistent user experience and cross-platform interoperability. Access Control defines, develops and delivers a comprehensive direct/point-to-point application layer for door locks, mobile devices as well as smart homes and buildings.&nbsp;<img class="image_resized" style="width:20.36%;" src="https://platform.iotsmile.com/assets/uploads/662fbea26113e501--73d1ee89--1419efdf--a8c4c3e7--0053fdc5ea0b8d3e91e31acf6690638.png">The JupiterMesh innovation is a robust, low-power industrial IoT wireless mesh network with flexible data rates that enables field communications for utility organizations as well as municipalities to deploy smart grids and smart city solutions.
