Smart Devices | Smarter Performance | No Human Interaction | Automation: Application Of IoT
There are a wide range of application of the Internet of Things, often divided as consumer, commercial, industrial and space.
Consumer
Applications
The IoT devices created for consumer use like vehicle, home automation, wearables connected with health and monitoring technology.
Smart Home
Smart home is first initiated with home automation like air conditioning, security system, heating etc.
Smart hubs
are installed to control various smart devices and appliances. Some improvement
in the smart homes like smart kitchen, smart mirror. Some companies like Philips, Haier, or Belkin.
Most of the
products in smart homes are voice-controlled.
Organizational
Applications
Medical And
Healthcare
Internet of
Things has wide applications in medical and healthcare. The IoT in the medical field
is also called as Internet of Medical Things. This system is used to collect
data and analyze data. This is also refered to as “Smart Healthcare”.
This system enables the remote health monitoring and emergency notification system.
These systems
analyze the general health like blood pressure and heart rate, body
temperature.
There are
smart devices like wristbands and hearing aid. Some advanced healthcare
hospital has “Smart Bed” that detect the patients pressure, temperature, and
directly interact with the nurse.
Most advanced
electronic sensors and electronic fabric are used for this purpose.
Transportation
IoT
integration with transportation is more important as remote monitoring is
required.
Since the IoT interact with the machines, the condition of the vehicle, location of the vehicle, condition of the cargo.
Some cargos
required special attention like food items, that require a special environment
like freezer, humidity, temperature. This can be maintained by IoT sensors.
Machine
learning along with IoT is used to find the best route for less traffic and
provide self-driving too.
Building Automation
IoT systems are used in monitoring machines, electrical and electronic systems in the buildings.
This system is integrated with the internet to create an energy-efficient building.
This systems also provide real-time monitoring for the improvement of smart building automation.
Industrial applications
IoT integration with industrial devices for finding tools, selecting
process, communication.
Smart manufacturing , real time risk management, control machinery using sensors and control system together.
This system can maintain the supply chain, inventory plant safety, and
statistical evaluation of the machinery and energy management system.
The industrial management system can generate higher business value. Using industrial data forecast of the manufacturing can be done.
Agriculture
IoT in agriculture has many applications, by collecting the temperature, humidity, rainfall, soil fertility, pest, wind speed.
This data can be used to automate farming processes that can improve the
quantity and quality of the farming which can minimize the risk and waste.
Smart city
The name itself suggests that making the cities smart and is the big innovation that can be used to monitor the water distribution system, traffic management, waste management system.
The IoT system is used to solve all the city related problems like
traffic, air pollution, safer city.
