(ThyBlackMan.com) The internet of things refers to a network of physical devices, automobiles, home appliances and all those items that are ingrained within actuators, electronics, sensors, software and connectivity to enhance connection, collection and data exchange. The IoT provides a platform that creates opportunities for advanced and direct integration of physical elements into computer-based, which in return will promote efficiency in performance, economic benefits and minimized human exertions. IoT entails the extension of internet connectivity beyond the standard devices such as computers and mobile devices to reach a wide range of non-internet enabled devices and other everyday physical objects. Once the devices have been embedded with technology, they gain life to communicate and interact through the internet, hence, can be monitored and controlled remotely. For instance, the introductions of autonomous driverless cars have increased substantial attention nowadays because of the IoT implementation.
Why we Need IoT
In the current technological and internet-dominated world, IoT plays a noble role in our lives by serving as an ecosystem that links physical universe and systems to give smart performances in every task. Enabling IoT has seen an evolution of cell phones, home and other embedded applications connected to the internet to impeccably integrate communication. These devices can derive meaningful information using commands of data analytics, share the data on cloud, and analyse it safely to give the required output. Many businesses are rapidly transforming in many ways, thanks to the IoT.
Many industries such as Eddie Stobart Transport and Logistics Company, the Amazon, Dell, Aviva, German Auto Manufacturer Daimler, the John Deere Company, Walt Disney Land and many more are all utilizing the Internet of Things technology to monitor various activities and advance their existing systems. The health care providers for example the Naya Health, harnesses the IoT devices to improve medical services through inventing better products at a quick pace with low maintenance costs in the manufacturing processes. The IoT has taken over the manual system of running businesses as it now plays the role of managing the internal process and operations giving high convenience for each task.
Importance of Internet of Thing Technology
IoT is regarded as the significant frontier that can improve almost all activities in our lives. Most of the devices, which have not been connected to the internet before can now be networked and respond the same way as smart ones do. By 2020, the world is set to be completely IoT oriented. Here are the benefits, which come with this technology.
• IoT promotes efficient resource utilization.
• It minimises human efforts in many life aspects.
• Enabling IoT will reduce the cost of production and maximising the returns
• It makes analytics decisions faster and accurately
• It boosts the real-time marketing of products
• Provide a better client experience
• It guarantees high-quality data and secured processing
Considering the complex ecosystem of IoT, there is a need of underlining the competitive advantage of IoT and the stakeholders enabling the users to continue being in complete control of safely sharing their data and depend as much as they can their content. Never miss the press release event on enabling internet of things technology, which will be held come 16-18 OCTOBER 2018 at Barcelona.
