WHAT IS IOT ?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a system of interrelated,
internet-connected objects that are able to collect and transfer data
over a wireless network without human intervention.
The personal or business possibilities are endless. A ‘thing’ can refer
to a connected medical device, a biochip transponder (think
livestock), a solar panel, a connected automobile with sensors that
alert the driver to a myriad of possible issues (fuel, tire pressure,
needed maintenance, and more) or any object, outfitted with sensors,
that has the ability to gather and transfer data over a network.
Today, businesses are motivated by IoT and the prospects of
increasing revenue, reducing operating costs, and improving
efficiencies. Businesses also are driven by a need for regulatory
compliance. Regardless of the reasons, IoT device deployments
provide the data and insights necessary to streamline workflows,
visualize usage patterns, automate processes, meet compliance
requirements, and compete more effectively in a changing business
environment.

IOT OVERVIEW
This might be hard to believe, but the first connected device was
a Coca-Cola vending machine situated at the Carnegie Melon
University and operated by local programmers. They integrated
micro-switches into the machine and used an early form of the
internet to see if the cooling device was keeping the drinks cold
enough and if there were available Coke cans. This invention
fostered further studies in the field and the development of
interconnected machines all over the world.
The year 1999 was easily one of the most significant for the IoT
history, as Kevin Ashton coined the term “the internet of things.” A
visionary technologist, Ashton was giving a presentation for Procter
& Gamble where he described IoT as a technology that connected
several devices with the help of RFID tags for supply chain
management. He specifically used the word “internet” in the title of
his presentation in order to draw the audience’s attention since the TOASTER CONNECTED TO INTERNET
internet was just becoming a big deal that time. While his idea of
RFID-based device connectivity differs from today’s IP based IoT,

The 2000s
The IoT boom was supported by its addition to the Gartner Hype
Cycle for emerging technologies in 2011.
As of today, IoT platforms maintain a strong hold on their position I IOT Sensors and Devices used in SELF DRIVING Cars

virtual assistants, connected homes, and level 4 self-driving cars.
The technology will reach its plateau of productivity in 5–10 years.
driven by a combination of :
1) Sensors
2) Connectivity

HOW COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER
An IoT system consists of sensors/devices which “talk” to the cloud through some kind of connectivity. Once the
data gets to the cloud, software processes it and then might decide to perform an action, such as sending an alert
or automatically adjusting the sensors/devices without the need for the user.
But if user input is needed or if the user simply wants to check in on the system, a user interface allows them to
do so. Any adjustments or actions that the user makes are then sent in the opposite direction through the system:
from the user interface, to the cloud, and back to the sensors/devices to make some kind of change.
That’s how an IoT system works at a high level. Now we’ll take a deeper dive into each of these components to
explain what they are, how they work, and important considerations for your organization as you consider
building and/or implementing IoT solutions

HOW CAN IOT HELP ?
IoT platforms can help
organizations reduce cost through
improved process efficiency, asset
utilization and productivity.

The Structure of IoT
The IoT can be viewed as a gigantic network consisting of networks of devices and computers connected through a
series of intermediate technologies where numerous technologies like RFIDs, wireless connections may act as
enablers of this connectivity.
Feeling Things : Sensors act as primary devices to collect data from the environment.
Shrinking Things : Miniaturization and Nanotechnology has provoked the ability of smaller things to interact
and connect within the “things” or “smart devices.”
Thinking Things : Embedded intelligence in devices through sensors has formed the network connection to the
Internet. It can make the “things” realizing the intelligent control.

IoT as a Network of Networks
These networks connected with added security, analytics, and management capabilities. This will allow IoT
to become even more powerful in what it can help people achieve.

POTENTIAL OF IOT
IOT will change the bases of competition and drive
new business models for user and supplier companies.
The Internet of Things will enable – and in some cases
force – new business models. For example, with the
ability to monitor machines that are in use at customer
sites, makers of industrial equipment can shift from
selling capital goods to selling their products as
services. Sensor data will tell the manufacturer how
much the machinery is used, enabling the
manufacturer to charge by usage. Service and
maintenance could be bundled into the hourly rate, or
all services could be provided under an annual
contract. The service might also include periodic
upgrades (software downloads, for example).
Performance from the machinery can inform the
design of new models and help the manufacturer
cross-sell additional products and services. This “as-a-
service” approach can give the supplier a more
intimate tie with customers that competitors would
find difficult to disrupt.” 21

What is the scope of IoT ?
Internet of Things can connect devices embedded in
various systems to the internet. When devices/objects can
represent themselves digitally, they can be controlled from
anywhere. The connectivity then helps us capture more
data from more places, ensuring more ways of increasing
efficiency.

Hospitality
The application of the IoT to the hotel industry
brings with it interesting improvements in the
quality of the service. With the implementation of
electronic keys, which are sent directly to the mobile
devices of each guest, it is possible to automate
various interactions.

Smart Stores
There are no human cashiers, only cameras and
automation technologies to process transactions.
Customers simply scan their smartphone at the
electronic gates in the foyer, pick up the shopping
items they would like and walk back out through the
turnstiles. Amazon’s Go stores, where some human
staff replenish shelves of popular items, while others
check ID in the alcohol aisle and greet newcomers at
