Internet of things : Future of technology

 

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the concept of extending Internet connectivity beyond conventional computer platforms such as personal computers and mobile devices. Any device that is capable of communicating with the Internet can be called IoT. The internet has been thoroughly induced in most things today. These things without the internet look more futile. From home appliances to driverless cars, from healthcare services to virtual assistants, from delivery drones to the latest car dispensers - all of these are great examples of the Internet of Things (IoT). Integrated with electronics, internet connection and other types of hardware such as sensors, these devices can communicate and interact with others over the internet and they can be remotely monitored and controlled.

The Internet of Things is transforming our lives today. It has the potential to revolutionize all kinds of industries. Let's look at how the Internet of Things is transforming industries:

Health care:

The Internet of Things technology exploitation in the medical industry is also briefly called the Internet of Medical Things or IoMT. IoMT is also known as IoT in healthcare. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is the collection of medical devices and applications that connect IT systems to healthcare through online computer networks. Medical devices equipped with Wi-Fi allow machine-to-machine communication, which is the basis of IoMT. IoMT devices link to cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, where captured data can be stored and analyzed.

The IoT has already provided the healthcare industry with a large number of benefits, such as:

• remove health and monitoring
• real-time consulting solutions
• improve affordable healthcare and reduce hospital costs
• enable physicians and physicians to offer higher levels of personal care
• track health records and patient history in real time through cloud services.
• Recently, a Parkinson's patient in China received the first far-brain surgery in a demonstration of the IoT's life-changing potential when it was adopted in healthcare.

This 'world's first far brain surgery' highlights the IoT's health potential.

Transport and logistics:

The highest priorities for logistics companies are to ensure just-in-time delivery, supply chain visibility, product life cycle transparency and quality services. The success of every logistics company lies in efficient inventory management and storage, automation of internal business processes, fast delivery and care of safe storage and quality of goods.

IoT as a drone-based delivery service has the greatest potential in retail, logistics, agriculture and e-commerce. These can add speed and efficiency to the work environment.

Some other benefits of IoT in the logistics and transport industry are:

• driverless cars
• location management systems
• stock tracking and storage
• IoT and blockchain improve supply chain management
• intelligent traffic management systems
• maintaining the health of the vehicle.

Manufacture:

In the manufacturing industry, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is very beneficial. The use of smart sensors and actuators to improve manufacturing and industrial processes has been of great benefit to this industry. IIoT leverages the power of smart machines, and real-time analytics leverages data to improve qualitative and quantitative production. They are better at communicating important information that can be used to drive business decisions faster and more accurately.

The industry can not only analyze how their products are used, but they also determine the usage patterns. Manufacturing industries are adopting IoT tools to increase their efficiency, helping them in their day-to-day operations and facilitating them in optimizing their production quality and also offering advanced security.

Some of the services provided by IoT in the manufacturing industry are:

• digitally connected factory
• in time production
• optimal energy efficiency
• predictable maintenance of the production line
• fast and more informed decision making
• the repeatability of the machine
• production flow monitoring.

Hospitality:

IoT in hospitality means reduced costs and optimized guest experience. The hospitality industry implements IoT-centric systems to better serve customers and also increase the efficiency of its activities. The customer acts as king in the hotel industry. The success of any hospitality industry depends on how well it serves its customers.

Here are the key benefits of IoT in the hotel industry:

• real-time control / automation
• remote control system
• monitoring of cooking
• monitoring and access control
• lighting and HVAC regulation
• immediate notification of errors.

Customer service industry:

When it comes to customer service, everyone has at some point had an interaction with customer service, whether it has been restaurants, retail or even a new line of business. Customer service has been revolutionized with the induction of AI (artificial intelligence) in IoT. AI is really starting to make an impact on the customer service industry. Customer service staff are replaced by chatbots who are reliable and can remain available to customers 24x7.

In addition, IoT in the customer service industry reaps benefits such as:

• fast customer support service
• increases lead generation
• increases customer reach efficiency
• cost effective
• easily accessible and faster communication.
• IoT is the future and is revolutionizing the world at a rapid pace.

However, IoT will only prove successful if we use this robust technology and use it more efficiently, because change is inevitable, while growth is optional. IoT is the future industry.
