What is the IoT technology?

IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a network of interconnected devices that collect, exchange, and process data via the internet. These devices can range from simple sensors to complex industrial machines, enabling automation, remote monitoring, and intelligent decision-making.

Key Aspects of IoT:

  1. Devices & Sensors – Physical objects embedded with sensors (e.g., temperature, motion, pressure) that collect data.

  2. Connectivity – Devices communicate via wired or wireless protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, NB-IoT, Modbus, etc.).

  3. Data Processing – Cloud platforms or edge computing process and analyze the collected data.

  4. Automation & Control – IoT systems enable remote monitoring and automation of processes.

INDUSTRY-CENTRIC APPROACH

Applications of IoT:

​

  • Industrial IoT (IIoT) – Predictive maintenance, smart manufacturing, and automation.

  • Smart Cities – Traffic monitoring, waste management, water quality monitoring.

  • Smart Homes – Connected appliances, security systems, voice assistants.
