IIOT Week 11
Healthcare Challenges
- Populations are ageing all over the world
- Different diseases are increasing
- Expenditure of hospitals and medical clinic are increasing
Increase of Diseases
-Different diseases are increasing.
-Telecare applications, smart home or telemedicine helps older people to live
safely.
-Continuous monitoring of patient’s health reduces hospitalizing.
-Sensors collects blood pressure, respiration, pulse rate, heart rate, and weight. It
triggers alarm, if any abnormal situation is there

Functions of Inventory Management
- Meet anticipated demand
- Smoothen the production requirement procedure
- Decouple components of the production-distribution system
- Protection against stock outs
- Proper order cycles
- Hedge against price increases or to take advantage of quantity discounts
- Smoothen the flow of operations
A
Quality Control
- “system of routine technical activities, to measure and control the quality of the
inventory as it is being developed” [IPCC Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty
Management in National Greenhouse Gas Inventories]
- Internally maintained by the management to provide product satisfaction to the
customers
Semi-Passive tags
- Has an onboard battery to power the IC
- But no active transmitter
- Relies on backscattering
- Does not depend on signals from reader for power
- Does not create additional noise
Applications - RFID
- Identification of products
- Added information along with ID
- Comprehensive visibility
- Built in GPS
- Warehouse management
- Added information along with ID:
Current storage temperature, Weather condition ,Damage (if any), etc
-Comprehensive Visibility
Inventory levels, Expiration dates, Item location, Forecast demand, etc
-Warehouse management
Shrink, Shortage, Overstock of commodities
Identification of efficient areas based on demand
-Similarly in transportation modes
Track time and place of congestion
Compute delay and alternate routes
Commute with efficient time and mode
Plant Safety
- Health and well being of the industry as a whole
- Hazards in a plant are catastrophic
- Aim: Protection of human and plant resources
Plant Security and Safety
Device Security
Network Security
Software Security
Software Security
Integrity
Availability
Authentication
Integrity
- Assurance of an uncorrupted data
- Correct functioning even under malicious attack
- Maintain consistency, accuracy, and trustworthiness of data over its entire life cycle
- Assurance that data is not altered by unauthorized people
C
Authentication
- Identification of user
- Verification of credentials entered (local or remote)
- Access control based on these credentials
- Protection of resources
Availability
- Ratio of time of functioning to the total time
- Extent to which the software continues functioning when a component or set of
components fail
- Strong relation between availability and reliability
Requirements
- Good programming techniques
- Install good firewalls
- Detect intrusions
- Good preventive measures
Network Security
- Maintain usability and integrity of network and data
- Management of access to the network
- Both hardware and software
- Protection against variety of threats
Device Security
- Protection of sensitive information stored on and transmitted by portable devices
- Portable devices:
Smart phones
Tablets
Laptops
Other mobile devices
Components
- Endpoint security
Monitoring of mobile devices (files and processes) that access a network
- Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Encrypt connection from a mobile device to a network
- Secure web gateway
Identification of an attack on one location and prevention of the same at other
locations (integration of security with the cloud)
- Email security
Protection against phishing attacks
- Cloud access security broker
Securing the tasks being performed on the cloud
Facility Management
- Support services for organizations
- Integrates people, place and process
- Improve quality of working environment
- Improve productivity
Closely related to the operations conducted in a building
Scope of IoT in Facility Management
