The Internet of Things is Revolutionary
Read this article on privacy, security, and ethical concerns with integrating IoT in the business intelligence cycle. As the section overview states, IoT is a collection of different technologies working together. Still, it is also an amalgamation. This article will help you understand in a detailed discussion how IoT fits into everyday life and its potential from both the technological and sociological perspectives. How can the connected devices you own be utilized with others?
Major IoT applications
Agriculture and industry automation
The world’s growing population is estimated to reach approximate 10 billion by 2050. Agriculture plays an important role in our lives. In order to feed such a massive population, we need to advance the current agriculture approaches. Therefore, there is a need to combine agriculture with technology so that the production can be improved in an efficient way. Greenhouse technology is one of the possible approaches in this direction. It provides a way to control the environmental parameters in order to improve the production. However, manual control of this technology is less effective, need manual efforts and cost, and results in energy loss and less production. With the advancement of IoT, smart devices and sensors makes it easier to control the climate inside the chamber and monitor the process which results in energy saving and improved production (Fig. 9). Automatization of industries is another advantage of IoT. IoT has been providing game changing solutions for factory digitalization, inventory management, quality control, logistics and supply chain optimization, and management.
