2. Introduction-
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a
vast number of “things” that are
connected to the internet so they can
share data with other things – IoT
applications, connected devices,
industrial machines and more. Internet-
connected devices use built-in sensors to
collect data and, in some cases, act on it.
IoT connected devices and machines
can improve how we work and live.
Real-world Internet of Things examples
range from a smart home that
automatically adjusts heating and lighting
to a smart factory that monitors industrial
machines to look for problems, then
automatically adjusts to avoid failures.
3. History of the Internet of
Things
The term “Internet of Things” was coined by
entrepreneur Kevin Ashton, one of the founders of
the Auto-ID Center at MIT. Ashton was part of a
team that discovered how to link objects to the
internet through an RFID tag. He first used the
phrase “Internet of Things” in a 1999 presentation
– and it has stuck around ever since.
Ashton may have been first to use the term
Internet of Things, but the concept of connected
devices – particularly connected machines – has
been around for a long time.
4. Where is using
IOT? Many industries use IoT to understand consumer needs in
real time, become more responsive, improve machine and
system quality on the fly, streamline operations and
discover innovative ways to operate as part of their digital
transformation efforts.
Very known industries
● Retail
● Manufacturing
● Health care
● Transporation and logistic
● Energy
5. RETAIL
IoT unites data, analytics and
marketing processes across locations.
Retailers capture IoT data from in-
store and digital channels and apply
analytics (including artificial
intelligence, or AI) for real-time,
contextual listening and to understand
behavior patterns and preferences.
They often use IoT connected devices
like RFID inventory tracking chips,
cellular and Wi-Fi systems, beacons and
smart shelves in their Internet of
Things strategy.
6. Manufacturing
IoT connects all phases of the Industrial
Internet of Things (IIoT) process – from
supply chain to delivery – for a cohesive
view of production, process and product
data. Advanced IoT sensors in factory
machines or warehouse shelves, along with
big data analytics and predictive modeling,
can prevent defects and downtime,
maximize equipment performance, cut
warranty costs, boost production yield and
enhance the customer experience.
7. Health Care
IoT technology captures data streaming in
real time from the Internet of Medical
Things (IoMT) – such as wearables and
other medical connected devices that
monitor exercise, sleep and other health
habits. This IoT data enables precise
diagnoses and treatment plans, improves
patient safety and outcomes, and
streamlines care delivery.
8. Transportation &
Logistics
IoT with geofence-enabled location
intelligence and AI, deployed across the
value chain, can deliver greater efficiency
and reliability for transportation and logistics
companies. This technology can improve
service quality, reduce downtime and boost
customer satisfaction. It can also enhance
safety and reduce costs by managing,
tracking and monitoring connected vehicles,
freight and other mobile assets in real time.
9. Energy
The Internet of Things helps providers
deliver reliable, fair-priced services and
products. IoT connected devices and
machines predict problems before they
occur. Distributed grid resources like
solar and wind are integrated through
IoT. And behavior data – such as that
collected from smart homes – improves
convenience and security, and informs
development of customized services.
10. With the Internet of Things (IoT), we
can understand the context (the time
and place of the customer) to identify
when we’re certain the customer
needs help or an incentive to
purchase, and we can respond
proactively.
