The next big thing that we never thought is big but emerged as an exemplar technology – The Internet of Things. It has emerged as a ground-breaking technology and has lot to offer that includes machine-to-machine communication; based on cloud computing and huge network of data-gathering sensors; can say –it’s mobile, virtual, and offers quick connection. Industry gurus and tech geeks say IoT is going to make everything in our lives be it road lights to seaports “a smart technology”. Recently, John Chambers, the CEO of Cisco, predicted that by 2020, there will be 50 Billion connected devices which will create $19 Trillion in economic benefit and value.Today internet is connected with a computer. And, one of the trending and useful connections with the internet is mobile, which implies that we can almost connect almost anything to the Internet. Future technologies are expected to connect Televisions, game consoles, refrigerators, parking meters, and everything with internet. And, technology has empowered humans to connect any and everything what we can imagine. That’s what Internet of Things can do.So, what’s the Big Deal?
Prior to the Internet of things, tech geeks were facing problem in monitoring and controlling devices on a large scale, but through IoT we can do all. A good example of IoT is a smart thermostat. By using smart thermostat, you can manage and control remotely from a computer or your smart phone. By your smart devices, now you can easily see the temperature and turn on-off lights. But have you thought, how a facility manager can manage and control all these remotely? – As he has to manage 100 buildings simultaneously. Now, it will become quite a chore for him. And, here comes smart thermostat. With a smart thermostat system, you can easily get the temperature readings, manage and control all the thermostats from a web interface without even getting out of your couch. Smart thermostats will also provide various bits of data and that data will be collected in the cloud. And, from the collected data, analytics can also be gathered and you can then easily determine the optimal temperature settings depending on the usage and utilities cost, which in turn, will
help saving money.Some other devices where IoT can be seen are – wearables, connected cars, manufacturing and agriculture. IoT Can Really Make a Difference?
Today businesses and organizations are focussing on getting products to the marketplace quickly, efficiently adapting to regulatory requirements, increasing efficiency, and most importantly, continuing to innovate. With the recent technological advancements where mobile workforce is changing rapidly, new clients are adding to the list, and supply chain demand changing, the use of IoT can move your enterprise forward.There are lot of companies that provide solutions for the Internet of Things. They can provide everything you need to generate including from data-driven intelligence from connected things to people and devices. The IoT specialized companies let you connect your business with the new generation of Internet-enabled devices in the cloud, allow you to transform your existing business processes and meet your business expectations and client experience.
