Study Notes
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT refers to the interconnection of devices, sensors, and systems that collect and exchange data over the internet.
Examples of IoT Applications
- Automation systems: monitor and improve lighting and air conditioning in office buildings
- Smart transportation systems: monitor traffic patterns and provide navigation
- Smart garbage dumpsters: send notifications when they are full, saving labor and vehicle wear
- Autonomous vehicles: use sensors to capture data, report to owner's mobile device, and provide navigation
Benefits of IoT
- Reduce costs to achieve a competitive advantage
- Predicting failures and scheduling maintenance
- Real-time tracking of parts and raw materials
- Deepen understanding of consumer preferences and behaviors
- Collecting and analyzing data from video surveillance, social media, and internet usage
- Predicting preferences and forecasting trends
- Improve customer service and experience
- Enabling consumers to track shipped products
- Predicting equipment failures and taking corrective action
- Improve workplace safety
- Monitoring workers in high-risk environments
- Using video surveillance and smart locks to protect office premises and assets
Types of IoT Applications
- Connect and monitor: monitor shipping containers for temperature changes
- Control and react: detecting in-store behavior to optimize shopping experience
- Predict and adapt: providing real-time data on trash containers and optimizing routes
- Transform and explore: collecting and analyzing data from aircraft engines to reduce fuel consumption and plan maintenance
Potential Issues with IoT Applications
- Faulty sensors or bad network connections resulting in missing data
- Security risks from hacking, viruses, and malware exposure through internet connections
IoT Devices and Sensors
- Sensors: devices capable of sensing surroundings (e.g., pressure, temperature, humidity, motion, vibration)
- Operational historical database: contains data from many sensors connected to the public internet
IoT and Automation
- IoT takes automation to a deep, broad level, enabling interconnectivity between devices
- Estimated number of devices connected to IoT worldwide: [insert number]
Examples of IoT
- Home Automation: smart homes, smart speakers, and networked home automation
- Wearable Devices: smartwatches, fitness trackers, and medical services providers
- Smart City: using data from sensors and artificial intelligence to improve infrastructure and efficiently manage resources
