The Internet of Things or iot
is influencing our lifestyle from the way we react to the way we behave.
From air conditioners that you can control
with your smartphone to Smart Cars providing
the shortest route or your Smartwatch which is tracking
your daily activities. IoT is a giant network with connected devices.
These devices gather and share data about
how they are used and the environment
in which they are operated. It's all done using sensors,
sensors are embedded in every physical device. It can be your mobile
phone, electrical appliances Pecos barcode sensors traffic lights and almost
everything that you come across in day-to-day life. These sensors
continuously emit data about the working state
of the devices, but the important question is how do they share
this huge amount of data, And how do we put this data to our benefit iot
provides a common platform for all these devices
to dump their data. And a Common language for all the devices to
communicate with each other.
Data is emitted from various sensors and sent to iot platform security iot platform
integrates the collected data from various sources further analytics is
performed on the data and valuable information
is extracted as per requirement. Finally. The result is shared with other devices for better
user experience Automation and improving efficiencies. Let us look at a scenario
where iot is doing wonders. In an AC manufacturing industry
both the manufacturing machine and the Belt have
sensors attached they continuously send data
regarding the machine health and the production specifics to the manufacturer
to identify issues beforehand. A barcode is attached to each product
before leaving the belt. It contains the product
code, manufacturer details, special instructions Etc. The manufacturer uses
this data to identify where the product was distributed and track
the Retailer's inventory hence, the manufacturer can make
the product running out of stock available Next this products
are packed and parcel to different retailers.
Each retailer has a barcode reader to track
the products coming from different manufacturers,
manage inventory, check special instructions and many more. The compressor of air conditioner
has an embedded sensor that emits data regarding
its health and temperature. This data is not allies
continuously allowing the customer care to contact you
for the repair work in time. This is just one
of the million scenarios. We have Smart appliances, Smart
Cars, Smart Homes, smart Cities where iot is redefining
our lifestyle and transforming the way we interact
with Technologies. The future of iot industry is huge. Business Insider
intelligence estimates that 24 billion iot devices
will be installed by 2020 and ITC predicts that iot Revenue will reach
around three hundred and fifty seven billion in 2019 resulting in a lot
of job opportunities in the IT industry.
