The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data.
With connected consumer devices breaking into the mainstream, the IoT has become one of the most-discussed tech trends of the last twenty years.
But the IoT extends well beyond the home and consumer-level gadgets. Asset-heavy industries like manufacturing, logistics, mining, oil, utilities and agriculture have also begun to apply IoT systems to improve efficiency and results. With machines and specialized sensors collecting data at every step of production, the potential gains from the Internet of Things (IoT) are enormous.
Innovation has continued to accelerate as companies attack consumer and industry needs with enabling solutions by developing sensors, cloud platforms, networking infrastructure, as well as machine learning software to extract insights from the deluge of data.
