Abstract
The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into mechanical production processes has become a pivotal topic in contemporary manufacturing. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted dimensions of IoT in the context of mechanical production, delving into its definition, key components, protocols, and devices. It examines how IoT is transforming manufacturing by enabling monitoring and predictive maintenance, quality control, supply chain management, process optimization, and sustainability initiatives. However, alongside its benefits, IoT also raises significant security and privacy concerns that need to be addressed. This review concludes by emphasizing the importance of nuanced approaches and collaborative efforts to harness the full potential of IoT in mechanical production
