The document discusses potential applications of combining the Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented reality (AR). It provides two examples: 1) IoT can be used for equipment monitoring and predictive maintenance, with AR helping technicians during repairs by providing machine performance data and allowing for remote assistance. 2) IoT surveillance and AR glasses can help law enforcement by monitoring public areas, providing real-time intelligence to patrols, and aiding in emergency response and suspect identification. The combination of IoT and AR enhances responsiveness and ensures insights are delivered to the right people at the right time.

What happens to the combination of VR and the IoT?
Written by Calio Huang
The combination of the Internet of Things and augmented reality not only allows organizations to
collect data through sensor networks and generate actionable insights but also delivers these
insights to the right people at the right time, with the greatest impact.
The IoT leverages its network of intelligent objects, sensors, and processors to continuously
collect data, analyze data, and trigger appropriate responses from related entities to automate
the process. These entities can be endpoint actuators that can make changes in the process or
people who are notified to take appropriate action. An example of this is the IoT-based inventory
management system, which uses sensors and scanners to monitor the consumption and storage
of materials in production facilities. When the inventory is nearly exhausted, the IoT system can
place an order with the supplier to supplement it or notify the relevant personnel to supplement
it.
Enterprises adopt augmented reality (AR) to enable employees to access important information
in an unobtrusive, hands-free way. One example is the use of AR smart glasses in logistics to help
sorters efficiently find and identify packages without having to read labels or use handheld
scanners.
Potential applications of the Internet of Things and augmented reality
The combination of the Internet of Things and augmented reality can enhance the
responsiveness of IoT systems by providing insights to the right people at the right time. The
delivery of insights will ensure that the system is responsive and ensures that the organization
maintains sufficient agility to respond to external changes.

The adoption of predictive maintenance for big data and IoT support is already accelerating,
especially in manufacturing. Manufacturers use the Internet of Things to continuously monitor
device health and performance and use sensors to identify early signs of failure. Based on
historical data, these systems can identify trends in potential machine failures and notify
maintenance personnel to take remedial action. (Source: IoT Home Network) Take timely action
to minimize unplanned downtime (UDT) at manufacturing plants and maximize asset utilization.
Introducing AR into this process can make it more streamlined and efficient. Maintenance
personnel equipped with AR smart glasses can visually inspect the machine and obtain
performance data directly through the glasses. They can even perform complex maintenance and
repairs through remote assistance applications to further reduce downtime.
▲ law enforcement and security
Governments can strengthen their internal security and law enforcement agencies by using the
Internet of Things and augmented reality. Installing an IoT surveillance system in a city can help
law enforcement agencies monitor public areas and identify potential threats to public safety.
Using AR smart glasses to equip patrols ensures that they receive real-time intelligence to
respond effectively to emergencies. AR glasses can guide emergency responders to the scene of
the accident and help them find the suspect. Combined with machine learning and facial
recognition technology, the police can identify suspects through the camera on the AR glasses.
