Introduction to Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity that enable these objects to connect and exchange data. IoT has the potential to revolutionize the way we live by connecting everything from our homes to our cars to our workplaces.
The use cases for Internet o Things are endless – from monitoring energy consumption in buildings, tracking assets in warehouses and factories, improving customer experience through smart retail stores as well as providing real-time insights into production processes. Internet of Things is also being used for predictive maintenance on machines and equipment.
The potential of IoT lies in its ability to connect different devices over the same network which allows for unprecedented levels of automation and efficiency. With the right strategy and implementation, businesses can leverage the power of Internet of Things to increase productivity while reducing costs.
This revolutionary technology is changing the way we interact with devices and is transforming the business landscape. By 2025, it’s expected that there will be over 75 billion Internet of Things devices globally. Therefore it is expedient that we embrace this technology, understand its potential and how it can impact various industries.
Understanding Internet Of Things
Have you ever wondered about the origin of the Internet of Things (IoT)? The concept of IoT can be traced back to as early as 1982 when researchers at Carnegie Mellon University connected a Coca-Cola vending machine to the internet, allowing them to check the status of the machine and whether it needed restocking.
However, it wasn’t until the 1990s that the term IoT was coined by Kevin Ashton, a British technology pioneer. Since then, IoT has evolved rapidly and today, it has become an integral part of our lives, from smart homes to wearable devices.
Understanding IoT is important and how it can help us better appreciate it’s significance and potential. .
