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.
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.
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.
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
