Study Notes
Automation
- Automation is the creation and application of technologies to produce and deliver goods and services with minimal human intervention.
- It improves the efficiency, reliability, and/or speed of many tasks that were previously performed by humans.
- Automation is used in various areas such as manufacturing, transport, utilities, defense, facilities, operations, and information technology.
- It is employed to minimize labor or to substitute humans in menial or repetitive tasks.
- Examples of automation include robotic assembly lines in manufacturing plants, where human input is required only to define processes and supervise them.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- The IoT connects devices instead of people, allowing them to access and share data.
- A device needs a sensor to collect data and the ability to communicate this data through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or phone networks to be part of the IoT.
- Not every smart device is part of the IoT, as it depends on the device's ability to collect and share data.
- The logic behind the IoT is that more data means better decisions, which can lead to increased automation and free time.
- Examples of IoT devices include a bracelet that monitors sleeping patterns and turns on the coffee maker, and a lock that can be activated from a phone when someone leaves the house.
- More and more gadgets are getting smart makeovers, such as smartphones with various sensors and self-learning thermostats with motion sensors.
