Internet of things (IoT) technology
is the interaction of smart devices and communication. Today, the Internet of
things extends from small household appliances to smart cities. The data
obtained from these systems called as big data. IOT refers to all systems
capable of transmitting data over a network without the need for interconnected
computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals, or people
provided with unique identifiers (UIDs).
Increasingly, organizations in
various industries use IoT technology to work more efficiently, provide better
customer service, improve decision making and increase business value, and
better understand customers. For example; Suppose that you have a smart watch
on your arm. This smart watch need sensors that detect the distance you take,
the steps you take and how your heart beats while doing these activities. The
data collected here is analyzed by a client (computer, mobile phone, etc.) and
helps us to streamline our lives. The communication between these two devices
is the most fundamental feature that makes up the internet of objects.
Industrial IoT system consists of:
- Intelligent beings that perceive, transmit and store information about themselves. So applications, controllers, sensors and security components.
- Data communication infrastructure such as cloud systems.
- Analytics and applications and people who produce business information from raw data.
IOT devices share the sensor data
they collect by connecting it to an IOT gateway or to a terminal other than the
cloud from which the data is sent to the cloud for local analysis or analyzed
locally. Sometimes these devices communicate with other relevant devices and
act on the information they receive from each other. Devices do most of the
work without human intervention, but people can interact with the devices. For
example, setting them up, giving instructions, or accessing data. The
connectivity, network, and communication protocols used with these web-enabled
devices depend largely on the specific IoT applications deployed.
