Chapter-02 Internet of Things (IoT) What is IoT? Evolution of IoT IoT is…. (According to EU) A global network infrastructure, linking physical and virtual objects through the exploitation of data capture and communication capabilities IoT is…. (According to ITU) A global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on, existing and evolving, interoperable information and communication technologies [ITU-T Y.2060] IoT is…. (According to IETF) IoT is a world-wide network of interconnected objects uniquely addressable, based on standard communication protocols IoT is…. (According to IEEE) A network of items each embedded with sensors which are connected to the Internet. IoT is…. (According to Wikipedia) The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these things to connect and exchange data, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer-based systems, resulting in efficiency improvements, economic benefits, and reduced human exertions. Machine to Machine Communication(M2M)  Data communication among the physical things which do not need human interaction. Examples:  Data communication between things and a server.  Thing to thing communication either directly or over a network. M2M Communication – Key Elements Global Scenario IoT Market Global Scenario IoT Market Global Scenario IoT Market Global Scenario IoT Market Building blocks of IoT End Devices / Nodes Gateways / Local Processing Nodes Connectivity Cloud Based Application and Storage Building blocks of IoT End Devices / Nodes Sensors Objects RFID Tags Actuators Building blocks of IoT Gateways / Local Processing Unit Middleware IoT Readers Signal Receivers Transceivers Building blocks of IoT Network (Connectivity) WiFi Blue Tooth ZigBee LoRa  Building blocks of IoT Cloud based IoT Application and Storage Health Agriculture Traffic Smart City Building blocks of IoT Layers of IoT Applications of IoT IoT in Health IoT in Health IoT in Agriculture IoT in Agriculture IoT in Eduction IoT in Eduction IoT in Traffic IoT in Traffic IoT in Smart Home IoT in Smart Home IoT in Retails IoT in Smart Cities IoT in Smart Cities IoT Based Waste Collection IoT Based Pollution Control IoT in warehouse management IoT, or the Internet of Things, is increasingly being used in warehouse management to improve efficiency, accuracy, and overall operations. Here are some ways IoT is utilized in warehouses: 1. Inventory Management:* IoT sensors can be placed on shelves and storage bins to monitor inventory levels in real-time. This helps in maintaining optimal stock levels, reducing overstocking or stockouts. 2. Asset Tracking:* RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) and GPS-enabled IoT devices are used to track the location and movement of assets, such as pallets, forklifts, and products within the warehouse. 3. Predictive Maintenance:* IoT sensors on machinery and equipment can collect data on their performance. This data is analyzed to predict when maintenance is needed, reducing downtime and preventing costly breakdowns. 4. Temperature and Humidity Monitoring:* For warehouses storing perishable goods or sensitive materials, IoT sensors can monitor temperature and humidity levels to ensure they remain within acceptable ranges. 5. Security:* IoT cameras and sensors enhance security by monitoring for unauthorized access, theft, or unusual activities within the warehouse. IoT in warehousing 6. Optimizing Routes:* IoT can be used to optimize the routes and schedules of delivery trucks, helping to reduce fuel costs and delivery times. 7. Worker Safety:* Wearable IoT devices, such as smart helmets or vests, can monitor the health and safety of warehouse workers, sending alerts in case of accidents or overexertion. 8. Energy Efficiency:* IoT can help control lighting, heating, and cooling systems in the warehouse based on occupancy and need, leading to energy savings. 9. Data Analytics:* The data collected by IoT devices in the warehouse can be analyzed to identify trends, optimize processes, and make informed decisions. IoT in warehouses contributes to more efficient operations, cost savings, improved accuracy, and better overall management of inventory and resources. It is a key technology in modernizing supply chain and logistics management. Challenges of IoT Object Naming Data Conversion Privacy Interoperability Security Quality of Service Data Encryption and Key Management Network Issues (Traffic Congestion) Research Need and Scope Rapid Urbanization 6.3 Billion people to live in cities and surrounding areas by 2050 Increases pressure on city infrastructure Makes it harder to maintain quality of life Energy Demands 60-70% of world’s energy Power cuts Emission of green house gases Manage carbon footprint Water resource Consumption is around 60% of world’s water 20% results in water leak Research Need and Scope Urban traffic related Congestion due to increase in vehicles Creates poor traffic flow Increases fuel consumption Pollution Creates a negative experience altogether Parking problem People looking for parking creates additional traffic congestion Limited parking places Waste of time and fuel to find a parking Loss of revenue and local business Research Need and Scope Public safety Remote monitoring of public attractions, homes, other places Place with poor records become unattractive for citizens & businesses In turn it slows the growth City lighting Problem with maintenance Physical inspection Lights are not intelligently operated Intensity remains the same throughout the night
