History of IOT
•1999- The term "Internet of Things" was used by Kevin Ashton during his
work at P&G which became widely accepted
•2004 - The term was mentioned in famous publications like the Guardian,
Boston Globe, and Scientific American
•2005-UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU) published its
first report on this topic.
•2008- The Internet of Things was born
•2011- Gartner, the market research company, include "The Internet of
Things" technology in their research
Iot Definition
• “The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing
devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people
that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data
over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-
computer interaction.”
How IoT works?
• 1) Sensors/Devices
• 2) Connectivity
• 3) Data Processing
• 4)User Interface
1) Sensors/Devices
• Sensors or devices are a key component that helps you to collect live
data from the surrounding environment.
• All this data may have various levels of complexities.
• It could be a simple temperature monitoring sensor, or it may be in the
form of the video feed.
2) Connectivity
• All the collected data is sent to a cloud infrastructure.
• The sensors should be connected to the cloud using various mediums
of communications.
• These communication mediums include mobile or satellite networks,
Bluetooth, WI-FI, WAN, etc.
3) Data Processing
• Once that data is collected, and it gets to the cloud, the software
performs processing on the gathered data.
• This process can be just checking the temperature, reading on devices
like AC or heaters.
• However, it can sometimes also be very complex like identifying
objects, using computer vision on video.
4)User Interface
• The information needs to be available to the end-user in some way
which can be achieved by triggering alarms on their phones or
sending them notification through email or text message.
o The user sometimes might need an interface which actively checks
their IoT system.
• For example, the user has a camera installed in his home. He wants to
access video recording and all the feeds with the help of a web server.
What is an example of an Internet of Things
device?
• A lightbulb that can be switched on using a smartphone app is an IoT device,
as is a motion sensor or a smart thermostat in your office or a connected
streetlight.
• An IoT device could be as fluffy as a child's toy or as serious as a 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.
IoT benefits to organizations
• monitor their overall business processes;
• improve the customer experience (CX);
• save time and money;
• enhance employee productivity;
• integrate and adapt business models;
• make better business decisions; and
• generate more revenue.
Why Is Internet of Things (IoT) so
important?
• 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—kitchen appliances, cars,
thermostats, baby monitors—to the internet via embedded devices, seamless
communication is possible between people, processes, and things.
• 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.
IoT Applications
• Smart Thermostats
• Connected Cars
• Activity Trackers
• Parking Sensors
• Connect Health
• Smart City
Challenges of Internet of Things (IoT)
• Insufficient testing and updating
• Concern regarding data security and privacy
• Software complexity
• Data volumes and interpretation
• Integration with AI and automation
• Devices require a constant power supply which is difficult
• Interaction and short-range communication
Advantages of IoT
• Ability to access information from anywhere at any time on any device;
• Improved communication between connected electronic devices;
• Transferring data packets over a connected network saving time and
money; and
• Automating tasks helping to improve the quality of a business's
services and reducing the need for human intervention.
Disadvantages IoT
• As the number of connected devices increases and more information
is shared between devices, the potential that a hacker could steal
confidential information also increases.
• Enterprises may eventually have to deal with massive numbers --
maybe even millions -- of IoT devices, and collecting and managing
the data from all those devices will be challenging.
• If there's a bug in the system, it's likely that every connected device will
become corrupted.
• Since there's no international standard of compatibility for IoT, it's
difficult for devices from different manufacturers to communicate
with each other.
