IOT - Introduction

IoT - Internet of Things


  • Introduction
  • Use cases and scenarios
  • Advantages
  • Technology stakes and Components
  • Challenges

INTRODUCTION

•   It’s a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital
    machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with the ability to
    transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-
    computer interaction.


•   These things can be wide variety of devices such as Automobiles with
    sensors, electric devices with sensor, mechanical or any object with the device
    that capable of sending/receiving data to the internet.


•   There’s a lot of noise at the moment about the internet of Things(or IoT) and
    it’s impact on everything from the way we travel and do our shopping, the
    way manufacturers keep track of inventory.


•   In very short distant future, hundreds of millions, then billions, of individuals
    with billions may be more smart devices will stretch the boundaries of current
    system.


•   It has potential to change the way we work, learn, entertain and innovate.


•   Product with smart access and wireless connectivity are more common than
    they were five years ago.


•   It’s series of technology.


•   Worldwide technology spending on the Internet of Things to reach $1.2 T in
    2022(From: IDC)

•   It is not only responsible for sensing things and send data to network but also
    perform actions.


•   Things can start to share their experience with other things.


THINGS

Sense + Communicate


     Ex. :
     Order Chemical for manufacturing unit automatically
     • Problem with manually:
     • Solution: Smart Chemical storage tank


USE CASES

 • Smart Metering
     • Smart Water supply in the town

 • Smart House
     • Smart Lock
     • Smart Air Conditioner

 • Smart City
     • Garbage collector
     • Water supply system to control remotely without human interference

 • Connected Vehicles
     • Connected Cars with sensing ability

 • Monitoring tools/objects/product for better productivity
     • Manufacturing unit with machinery

 • Security


ADVANTAGES

• Communication
      •   Encourages the communication between devices.
      •   Physical devices are able to stay connected and hence the total
          transparency is available with lesser inefficiencies and greater quality.


•   Increase Business Opportunities
      •   Applicable to all vertical market
      •   Opens the door for new business opportunities in all industries.
      •   IoT-driven innovations build strong business cases, reduce time to market
          and increase return of investments.
      •   Potential to transform the businesses approach/model
      •   Improve tracking of assets(machinery, tools, equipment etc) using sensors
          and connectivity.
      •   Helps organizations benefits from real-time insights. And take immediate
          actions.

• Efficient Processes
      •   Being connected with maximum number of devices to the internet, IoT allows
          business to be smarter with real-time operational insights while reducing
          operating costs.
                   

• Improved Safety and Security
     •   Services integrated with sensors and video camera help monitor
         workplace to ensure equipment safety and protect against physical
         threats.


• Increase Productivity
     •   Productivity plays a key role in the profitability of any business.


•   Cost Saving
     •   The improved process like asset utilization, productivity, real-time
         insights into important data and process efficiency can save expenditures.
         It will reduce the cost of maintenance as well as overall cost.


•   Minimize Human efforts


 TECHNOLOGY STACK



 Sensors :
   • Temp. and Humidity sensor, Proximity sensor, Pressure sensor, Smoke, Gas
      and Alcohol Sensor etc.

 Computing :
   • Microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, …

 Network Access :
   • Internet access through Ethernet or Wi-Fi module

 Protocols :
      • Rest API, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport(MQTT) etc.

 Cloud/ Server : Azure, Amazon etc.

 UI : using web technologies like HTML, JS etc.


Note: Diagram of IoT is not limited to above.

Technical Challenges

   • Wireless communication in remote area

   • Power Supply

   • Security

   • Complexity with Series of Technology

   • Software Complexity
