    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
