1. IoT Identification

IoT (Internet of Things) technology is recognised as a technology that offers numerous

benefits for human-centered work. IoT will provide benefits such as efficiency,
effectiveness, and speed in carrying out any task thanks to its cutting-edge technology.

Any project could be described as being based on the Internet of Things if it

has three key components, namely an electronic network, an internet connection, and
an application that acts as a gateway.

As a result, the Internet of Things is a concept for maximising the benefits of an

internet ecosystem that is constantly growing and evolving. According to this theory,
a particular object has the capability of transmitting data via a network without
interacting with humans.
2. TWO EXAMPLES OF IOT FOR INDUSTRIES OR DAILY APPLICATION

2.1. Thermostarts and Controllers

2.1.1. Both of the terms used above may have caught your attention, and you
may now use them interchangeably. This is a crucial distinction to
remember even though the end result is nominally the same. The mode of
control for a smart system can differ depending on whether a person has
a ducted or ductless air conditioning system. To ensure compatibility,
different hardware implementations of the actual device will be required.
The backend development is typically the same and, with a few minor
adjustments, interchangeable.

2.1.2. A smart controller is used with ductless air conditioners, like wall-
mounted mini splits or window units. With the exception of a few additional
modes that the user may have access to depending on their particular AC,
the functionality is essentially the same. These are independent devices
that can typically be positioned anywhere in the AC's line of sight.
2.2. Backflow Valve Monitoring

2.2.1. Backflow prevention is essential to providing communities with clean,

uncontaminated water, but since each facility or household is responsible
for their own backflow prevention, failures are unavoidable. Backflow valve
monitoring systems use IoT-enabled sensors to track the position of
backflow valves, test pressure, and send alerts in the event of valve failure.
This prevents water supply contamination and exorbitant fines.

2.2.2. Both new backflow prevention devices and legacy preventers can be
retrofitted with backflow valve monitors. These systems measure both
water pressure and the position of the backflow valve using IoT-capable
sensors. These devices can cut off the water supply and notify a manager
or owner in the event of a failure or unexpected pressure readings,
preventing damage or backflow.

2.2.3. Access to the water supply can be managed remotely in addition to

responding to equipment failure, giving managers more control over the
water supply in the event of maintenance.
3. OBJECTIVES OF IOT

3.1. The Internet of Things' (IoT) purpose is to enable connectivity and integration
between the physical and digital worlds. It steers the third wave of the
revolution in the IT sector and typifies the coming networking craze. The
precise real-time sensing of our surroundings and the incorporation of
connected intelligence into everyday products are just a few examples of the
many applications of IoT. In the future, almost anything will be able to
independently verify its identity, be aware of its surroundings, interact with
others and share information, directly pay for and offer services, and possibly
run entirely on its own.

3.2. The primary objective of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to gather and analyse
data from objects (devices) that were previously cut off from the majority of
data processing tools. This data is generated by physical objects (devices)
installed at the edge of the network, such as motors, lightbulbs, generators,
pumps, and relays, which perform specific tasks to support a business process.
The Internet of Things aims to link these disconnected items (things) and send
their data to the cloud or Internet for analysis (IoT).

3.3. Consumer goods to state-of-the-art manufacturing automation systems are

just a few of the products that are impacted by IoT. IoT solutions influence how
companies create, manage, and support their products as well as how they
rethink and improve their current business processes across the entire value
chain.
4. TASKS OF IOT DEVICES

4.1. One does not necessarily need a technical understanding of the ins and outs
of the Internet of Things to understand how IoT devices may make human lives
and activities simpler.

4.2. An IoT device is essentially a tiny computer that sends data to the cloud. The
cloud makes a choice regarding what to do with the data after processing it.
The cloud software may choose, for instance, to send an alert, change a
sensor, or display a warning depending on the transfer of the data.

4.3. The vast majority of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are created to function
automatically with data, requiring only programming from humans. However,
there is a user interface with varying degrees of usefulness. For instance, while
some tasks can be finished automatically, others might need user consent.

4.4. The device is given instructions on what to do next by the IoT system, which
receives the user's modifications made through the user interface and relays
them back to the device. Dismissing the alert, logging an anomaly, or getting
in touch with staff could all be examples of how to do that.
5. BENEFITS OF USING IOT IN TECHNOLOGY AND SECURITY

5.1. Increased staff productivity and reduced human labour

5.1.1. Automating mundane tasks with IoT solutions frees up human resources
for more challenging jobs that require specialised skills, especially creative
problem-solving. By doing this, the company's operating costs can be
reduced by keeping the number of employees to a minimum.

5.2. Effective management of operations

5.2.1. Another significant benefit offered by the connectivity of smart devices is
the automated control of many operational areas, such as, among others,
inventory management, shipping tracking, fuel and spare parts
management. To track the location of equipment and cargo, for instance,
this strategy uses RFID tags and a related network of sensors.

5.3. Through advertising and commercial expansion

5.3.1. The use of voice assistants and other smart home devices that can
frequently interact directly with customers as data sources for business
research is particularly advantageous. IoT helps businesses by gathering
enormous amounts of user-specific data that is then used to develop
corporate strategies, target advertising, tweak pricing, and perform other
management and marketing tasks.

5.4. Enhanced client retention and service

5.4.1. By using the aforementioned user-specific data gathering made possible
by smart devices, businesses can better understand customer
expectations and behaviour. IoT facilitates post-sale follow-ups such as
automatic tracking and informing clients about necessary maintenance of
purchased equipment after its predetermined duration of use, the
expiration of warranty periods, etc., which further improves customer
service.
5.5. Enhanced workplace safety
5.5.1. Along with the advantages already mentioned, regular maintenance is
essential for ensuring operating safety and compliance with legal
requirements. In addition to improving the company's reputation and brand
trust, safe working conditions make the business more appealing to
partners, partners, and employees. Smart technology not only makes
workplaces safer, but it also reduces the likelihood of human error at many
different points. Using a network of IoT devices like surveillance cameras,
motion sensors, and other monitoring devices can also ensure an
enterprise's security and thwart thefts and even corporate espionage.
