Another promising new technology trend is IoT. Many \u201cthings\u201d are now being built with WiFi connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet\u2014and to each other. Hence, the Internet of Things, or IoT. The\u00a0Internet of Things\u00a0is the future, and has already enabled devices, home appliances, cars and much more to be connected to and exchange data over the Internet.<\/p>\n
As consumers, we\u2019re already using and benefitting from IoT. We can lock our doors remotely if we forget to when we leave for work and preheat our ovens on our way home from work, all while tracking our fitness on our Fitbits. However,\u00a0businesses\u00a0also have much to gain now and in the near future. The IoT can enable better safety, efficiency and decision making for businesses as data is collected and analyzed. It can enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and offer benefits we haven\u2019t even imagined yet.<\/p>\n
Over the past few years, IoT has become one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. Now that we can connect everyday objects\u2014kitchen appliances, cars, thermostats, baby monitors\u2014to the internet via embedded devices, seamless communication is possible between people, processes, and things.<\/p>\n
By means of low-cost computing, the cloud, big data, analytics, and mobile technologies, physical things can share and collect data with minimal human intervention. In this hyperconnected world, digital systems can record, monitor, and adjust each interaction between connected things. The physical world meets the digital world\u2014and they cooperate.<\/p>\n
IoT Intelligent Applications are prebuilt software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications that can analyze and present captured IoT sensor data to business users via dashboards. We have a full set of\u00a0IoT Intelligent Applications.<\/p>\n
IoT applications use machine learning algorithms to analyze massive amounts of connected sensor data in the cloud. Using real-time IoT dashboards and alerts, you gain visibility into key performance indicators, statistics for mean time between failures, and other information. Machine learning\u2013based algorithms can identify equipment anomalies and send alerts to users and even trigger automated fixes or proactive counter measures.<\/p>\n
With cloud-based IoT applications, business users can quickly enhance existing processes for supply chains, customer service, human resources, and financial services. There\u2019s no need to recreate entire business processes.<\/p>\n
What is an example of an Internet of Things device?<\/strong><\/p>\n Pretty much any physical object can be transformed into an IoT device if it can be connected to the internet to be controlled or communicate information.<\/p>\n A lightbulb\u00a0that can be switched on using a smartphone app is an IoT device, as is a motion sensor or a\u00a0smart thermostat\u00a0in your office or a connected streetlight. An IoT device could be as fluffy as\u00a0a child’s toy\u00a0or as serious as\u00a0a driverless truck. Some larger objects may themselves be filled with many smaller IoT components, such as a jet engine that’s now filled with thousands of sensors collecting and transmitting data back to make sure it is operating efficiently. At an even bigger scale,\u00a0smart cities projects are filling entire regions with sensors\u00a0to help us understand and control the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another promising new technology trend is IoT.
